<p>Hello!<br> So I used to have the normal FD 300mm 2.8 white but sold it and now for some reason got curious about trying this rare Fluorite version. <br /> Anyone else currently using one? <br /> I saw a test on another forum and liked how it was more contrasty and a bit longer than the white version but I understand with such old lenses, performance can vary a lot based on condition. <br /> We shall see!</p>

<p>Nice Alex! :)</p>

<p>Yes, sounds dumb but I JUST realized that besides the big lens hood attachement, the lens actually has a built in hood. I wonder if you are supposed to extend that one and then add the attachement or does it really make any difference.<br />Anyways, goes to show that even after a long time, one can find out new stuff about your gear lol</p>

<p>Thanks Alex S!<br />I cannot wait to go back with more time and better weather as I have several ideas on how to use this amazing lens. I shoot mostly native lenses these days, Zeiss, top Tamron ones like the 15-30mm F2.8 but this Canon FD 300mm has no problem keeping up with newer lenses. Its just marvelous :)</p>

<p>Almost the end of the month so lets post one I took with the FD 300mm F2.8. <br />I ran out of space to frame it how I wanted and it was bad weather so I took it this way. Planning to go again for more ideas I have with this monster lens and the A7Rii. :)<br> <img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1479/26628191505_632a79d802_o.jpg" alt="" width="1810" height="2800" /></p>

<p>So I am trying to help my brother to improve IQ from his kit zoom on the A57 on a VERY tight budget.<br> Now he has the 50mm 1.8 which he likes a lot so I suggested instead of wasting money on a zoom as he cannot afford any more expensive ones, to look at at a wide prime instead. It seems a 24mm would be nice to complement his 50mm.<br> So I found this one:<br />http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000Y680HA/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used<br> As far as I know, if its AF minolta, it should work with the Sony A-mount, correct?</p>

Canon FD Photo of the Month: October 2015
gabriel_gerena replied to Alex_Es's topic in Canon FD Mount
<p>I want to share this one taken with the Canon FD 300mm F2.8.<br />Working on learning Portrait photography in my WIP basement "studio" :)<br> <img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5835/21534795363_a34d0602ed_o.jpg" alt="" width="1875" height="1440" /></p> -
<p>Hello!<br />So I dont use a tripod that often to be honest, some times when going hiking with my wife I will take it to take at least one pic of us together and for moon shots but I think my current combination needs to be upgraded as either the head the both are not up to par.<br />In any case, for $200 or less ...what do you think of this Vanguard combo? The heaviest lens it will use will be the FD 300mm 2.8 with a couple of extenders on a Sony A7ii.<br> I was looking at one that was able to become a monopod too but didnt look that strong.<br> My current one is a Manfrotto 3001N with a Sunpak 620 Pistol Grip (I am sure this one is the super weak link). So let me know if I need to upgrade both or just the head please.<br />I wouldnt mind a lighter easier to handle tripod or at least one that is smaller when packed.<br />Thanks!</p>

Lens Cover for FD 300mm F2.8...any suggestions?
gabriel_gerena replied to gabriel_gerena's topic in Canon FD Mount
<p>That is correct Dave S, it is a jacket like protector for the whole body. I do have the original case and a hoodie for the lens itself. :)</p>
