Ka Romy named it "Frankenlens", this retro-monster from the past. It is properly known as the "New FD 800 5.6L".
I will be updating this thread for info, tips and more sample pics taken with this lens attached to different bodies just for fun and reference for the forum.
Specifications
Canon FD Resources - Super Telephoto lenses
New FD 800mm f/5.6L Lens
This is one of the fastest lens of its class in the world. It utilized an Ultra low-dispersion optical glass element in its design to hold the secondary spectrum to a minimum and to prevent deterioration in picture quality from chromatic aberration. This lens also incorporates the light and smooth Rear-group focusing system in which only the rearmost lens element moves internally for focusing. Thus, good balance of the lens is maintained when using a tripod. This lens also comes with a device for fine adjustment of focusing torque and the focus can be locked. A revolving mechanism to facilitate format changing when using a tripod is incorporated as well.
