|
|
I've got a nice clean Tokina 300mm f/5.6 but I have the opportunity of swapping it by a Canon FD partially disassembled.
Would it be wise to do the swapping?. How better is the FD over the Tonina?. Would it justify the risk of fixing the FD one?.
Thanks in advance.

Well, I've never had Tokina, but if you are tempted by partially disassembled FD 300mm/f5.6, I have one with a sticky aperture for 20 Euros (still in one piece ). Aperture does not close past f8, but f5.6 and f8 work fine. Just FYI. _________________ Many lenses and some film bodies for sale here: http://forum.mflenses.com/canon-fd-minolta-md-c-mounts-m42-pentax-and-more-t50465.html |
