Canon New FD 300mm f/2.8L - Canon FD Mount

The New FD 300mm f/2.8L is a legendary manual-focus telephoto lens featuring fluorite and ultra-low dispersion glass to eliminate chromatic aberration. Known for its exceptional sharpness and soft bokeh, it was a staple for sports and wildlife photographers in the 1980s. It uses an internal focusing system, which keeps the lens barrel length constant during operation. Check the internal drop-in filter holder, as these are often missing or have damaged glass. The focus action should be exceptionally smooth; if it feels gritty, the internal bearings or grease may need attention. SDS inspects the large front element for any signs of coating degradation or fungus, and confirms the tripod collar rotates and locks correctly.
