I couldn't resist -- It was impossible ...
150 GBP ... on ebay...
So I have got TWO 300 mm lenses..
- 2 UD glass elements,
- internal focusing,
- extremely light lens...
- focusing is EXTREMELY SMOOTH - my initial thought was that the focusing ring is damaged but it's not

The FD 300/4 L was overshadowed by the 300/2.8 L, but is just as good IMO as the 300/2.8 when it's stopped down to f/4. Plus, it's a helluva lot lighter. Great lens. Post some pics, please, once you've had a chance to use it.
