It turns out that the lens was dirty the first element. For this reason much CA and lack of contrast. Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed

Is yours the early or late FD 100-300 (non-L)?

Early:

Late:

Back when I was a regular shooter of Canon FD, I stayed away from the early 100-300 because of its rather mediocre reports in the magazines, and instead bought a Tamron SP 60-300mm. Subsequently, I heard that the later one had an improved optical formula and was a better performer than the earlier one. Although the later 100-300 was more plasticky than the early one.

At any rate, can't complain about the pics you're getting. You mentioned in a previous thread that this lens was converted to M42, right? Did you do the conversion, and if so, how difficult was it?

Very nice (but that is close-up, not macro).

It is the latest version, Optically equals 100-300 L, except for a fluorite element and a Low Dispersion. Basically the difference in the picture is a little, very little CA.

The conversion to M42 is not very difficult. But it is necessary to construct a cam, of some 6cmts of length for the diaphragm. I have not used anything of the original mount and it is reversible.

Dr Klaus
I put Macro because it is in the position MAcro of the lens, It works to 100 and 200 mm and allows to focus to only 60 or 70 cmts.
It does not manage to be a real lens of macrophotography. You have reason.
Greetings
