We had just the slightest dusting of snow last evening, then turning warm this afternoon, so just one \"bird-in-tree\" shot. I spent the morning re-setting three of the long FD L lenses to focus out to infinity, without any additional optics. I got the EdMika FD to EOS adapters to do the lens-to- body coupling, which is the easy part. Next task was to open the 300mm f2.8, 400mm f2.8, and 500mm f4.5 housings to get at the internal focus assemblies and infinity stops.
Fortunately, none of the micro-screws were \"frozen\" in place after the +25 years since the lenses were manufactured by Canon, prior to the EF line.
Results: In about three hours, all have been cleaned ( ) and reset to focus out to infinity with all of my EOS bodies, and will still work on my T90 and F1 bodies with the adapter removed. . Not for the meek & shakey though, as removing the 400mm front section optics gave me a moment of pause...
