    The 100/2 is a very impressive performer and quite compact. About the only thing I could mark it down for is the lack of a built-in sliding lens hood but that's almost unfair. If the focal length works for you there's no good reason to pass it up!

    Mine's the original breech-lock 24-35 Aspherical, it makes a mild low-pitched clunking when shaken. Given the razor sharp images it produces I am not concerned at all.

    Peter, that FD 300 / 2.8 SSC Fluorite you've got is one of the system's true masterpieces. It is absolutely one of my very favorites!

    That last picture kills me! Arms up, everybody! So long as you get the picture who cares about the people standing behind you? Love your neighbor as yourself, indeed.

    The FD 200 1.8 L is indeed real, and a real rarity. It came to market after the autofocusing EF version which would've been Canon's priority by then, and it's a little bit surprising to me that they even bothered to produce it!

    Hello Paulo, is it you who owns the FD 200 1.8 L? Speaking purely for myself, I would love to see more of your work with this lens!

    A fully operational A-1 will give excellent results, and if you can "fly" a DSLR that film camera should not be too troublesome...get the manual and READ IT, of course! I also enjoy and prefer the smooth rendering of reality that analog can produce. Scanning? I find color negs very time consuming personally, with much more fiddling of settings to obtain satisfactory images...if the money is there, save that work for a lab that does quality scans! Color transparencies for me are a breeze by comparison...

    The Aspherical-marked lenses and green-stripe FL / FD Fluorites in my collection are keepers...more ordinary things like 24/2.8, 28/2.8, 50/1.8 could easily go unmissed. All F-1s stay, all Canonflexes do too, and the T-90 'til it belly flops! Okay, I'd keep that oddball, meterless FP with its accessory prism-top meter too. Is there any reason to have a pair of ODF-1s???

    Look up eBay item number 251536282601, for an FD 300/4 L that's shown with an unspecified light gray tripod collar which looks like Canon's current offerings...the seller should have the details.
