Canon FD 70-210mm f/4 Lens

Canon FD 70-210mm f/4 | Constant Aperture Telephoto Zoom - Like New Condition | Vintage Optical Precision

The Canon FD 70-210mm f/4 is a highly regarded telephoto zoom lens from the legendary FD manual-focus era, prized for its constant f/4 maximum aperture. Unlike many variable-aperture zooms, this lens maintains its brightness throughout the entire zoom range, providing consistent exposure and a bright viewfinder from 70mm all the way to 210mm. Featuring a sophisticated "one-touch" design, both zooming and focusing are handled by a single wide ring, allowing for rapid and intuitive adjustments in the field. Built with Canon’s high-standard multi-coating, this lens delivers excellent contrast and the classic, warm color rendition that vintage Canon glass is famous for. It is a versatile choice for everything from subject-isolating portraits to compressed landscapes and nature photography.

Specialist Note "Finding a Canon FD 70-210mm in this 'like new' condition is a treat for any vintage glass enthusiast. This was the go-to telephoto for pros and serious hobbyists using the A-1 or F-1. The constant f/4 aperture is the real star here—it makes focusing much easier in low light compared to the f/4.5-5.6 zooms of that era. Because of its exceptional sharpness and character, this lens has become incredibly popular for 'cine-modding' and use on modern mirrorless systems. In this condition, it is a true collector's piece that performs exactly as it did the day it was made."
