Ironically, the Canon FD 300mm f/4 L. The EF 400mm f/5.6 is a good option if you want autofocus.

I'm tempted to buy it. However, I'm still not convinced that paying 300 USD to some jap for 40 year old glass is best idea.

Maybe there is something else out there?

Who cares about its age. Look at what the pictures taken with it look like.

Komine 400mm f/5.6, can be had for 40 or 50 bucks, less if you find it in the wild.

This Chinese made piece of shit is surprisingly decent for what it is. Five Star 500mm f8. Got it for Pentax. Typically goes for $100 on ebay or Amazon, found a used one for $30.

Tair-3S with stock. Dirt cheap (got mine for 80$), fun to use. Not razor sharp, but not too soft.

Damn anon, you got some really cool photo there! I also like your IR photography.

Well, tair is sharper than my expectations were. I has a lot of CAs, but I'd have to pay much more for lens that doesnt have it. I guess I buy that. Also, what do you think about jupiter 200mm f4? I can get it for cheap, so it is tempting.

Jupiter-21M: good wide open. Sharp stopped down, nice bokeh. I'm using it with Lens Turbo II for FoolFrame-like look.
Sometimes it tend to lose contrast due to inner reflections and stupid back plate design.

If a guy can't peep some cleavage at 100ft away, why bother getting the lens? Here's a shot at extreme range with a 2x converter.

TC has a focusing group driven by the screwdrive AF from the body. You get the manual focus in range and it will dial in the focus. This also means missing the focus in tracking won't cycle the entire focus range.
