[insert pithy phrase here]
At least FD stuff is inexpensive these days.
Sounds fun, even if you are getting out of hand...

Tell me about it. Over the past few weeks I picked up an original Leicaflex and a Nikon F2. I don't really need either camera. But, they were there at the right price, so I bought.

What generation will you pick up? The rule is this: Chrome mount = better build quality, new FD = better optical quality.
Also, dont miss out on the early FL series for your F1.

price is certainly a factor...when cheap knocks at the door i run to answer it!
and if i ever take another (car) road trip i'll have a trunk full of great film gear.

Could be either mount. Canon introduced the breechlock internal focus version in 1977, the bayonet version in 1979.

New FD 300 mm f/5.6 is the one.
looks good, nice and clean...light weight too!

I wouldn't get an SLR manual focus lens slower than f4.5, Joe, focusing becomes very difficult for me f5.6 and up.
Enjoy though, of course.

oh i know...already having trouble focussing the 100/2.8...i'm thinking the 300 will be monopod/tripod only.
plus the price would not allow me to pass on it.

You'll have to start filling in the gaps of the "car travel kit" now 🙂

I found the FD 35mm and 135mm to both be excellent lenses, Joe. I wound up with a bunch of FL, FD, and FDn gear after getting sidelined from my Nikon quests. Love the lenses, can't say I care for the cameras as much. Amazingly, the T70 was the one I felt like could be a daily user, even in all its plastic ugliness.
