How about FD 300mm L f4? It seem you can get one in good condition around $4-500. Plus 1.4x teleconverter. The IQ from the samples I've seen looked outstanding wide open and even w/ the telelconverter you get usable 420mm f5.6. That's 450mm f4 and 630mm f5.6!

You read my mind! I bought the same lens and TC a couple of months back and absolutely love it. I was surprised at how, relatively, easy it is to handle and hand held shots are generally a breeze. IQ is best at f4 or one stop down.
