Hi Evrim, I remembered see a post saying that you're looking for good clean EF 100 f/2 USM lens, are you still looking for this item? The EF 100 2USM is mint and has both original Canon caps but is box less. I also know where there is a MINT, new in the box EOS 5QD (this is an EOS A2E + date

I have the Minolta Monocular converter, and I've tried using it with my 500 f8 RF, 300 f4.5 MD and a few others. Not a really worthwhile experience. Before you spend money, I suggest you try it out using adhesive tape or whatever to hold it roughly in place. The converter has a focal length of 1
