Canon FD 100mm f/2 - Canon FD Mount

The Canon FD 100mm f/2 is a fast telephoto prime lens highly regarded for its sharpness and pleasant bokeh. A significant upgrade over the more common f/2.8 version, this lens is excellent for portraiture and low-light sports photography. It features a compact design for its focal length and speed, utilising a 52mm filter thread in its 'New FD' iteration. When purchasing a used 100mm f/2, check for oil on the aperture blades, which can cause slow response times. The manual focus should be well-damped and consistent. Given the age of FD optics, internal dust is common, but significant haze will affect contrast. SDS performs a thorough check for element separation and ensures the mount's aperture linkage is not bent or sluggish, ensuring compatibility with adapted digital systems.
