We present ISO (Infrared Space Observatory) observations of the planetary nebula Lindsay 305 (L 305) in the Small Magellanic Cloud. L 305 is very prominent in the ISOCAM frames at 6.75 and 11.5 $\mu$m, although it is under the detection limit at 4.5 $\mu$m. The obtained spectral energy distribution shows a strong mid-IR excess, which, depending on the amount of energy radiated at wavelengths longer than 11.5 $\mu$m, may be as large as $\sim 1500 L_{\odot}$. However, since an accurate estimate of the total nebular luminosity is not available up to date, the evolutionary status of L 305 can not yet be constrained precisely.
