Bojan,
Sorry, I've never astro-imaged with one. I can loan you a 135 f2 to try if you like. For a used 200 FD, I would suggest trying Michael's on Elizabeth St. In Melbourne. The Shutterbox on Toorak Rd also does FD lenses (I sent my 200 there on consignment about 4 years ago and forgot about it until today!!!). It could still be there!
Failing these try some of the UK camera shops: Jacobs, Jessops, London Camera Exchange. An English magazine called Photography Weekly (Border's, bigger Tatt's) is usually loaded with ads for ye olde equipment.
Another oprtion is a Macro lens. I can't remember the exact focal lengths but I think they came in 50mm f3.5 a 100 f2.8 and 180mm f3.5. At any rate they would be more likely to be corner to corner sharp, if somewhat pricier.
Give me a shout if you want to borrow the 135.
Cheers.
Peter
