Canon Zoom Lens FD 100-300mm f/5.6 (S/N 26824) - Like New Condition | Pristine Long-Range Telephoto for Canon FD Systems

The Canon New FD 100-300mm f/5.6 is a sophisticated telephoto zoom that provides exceptional reach in a surprisingly manageable form factor. Covering a broad range from 100mm portraiture to 300mm wildlife and sports photography, this lens is a versatile powerhouse for the Canon FD system. This particular unit, serial number 26824, is in "Like New" condition, appearing as though it has been stored in a controlled environment since its manufacture. Utilizing Canon's legendary Super Spectra Coating (S.S.C.), it delivers high-contrast images with the natural color rendition that vintage Canon FD glass is famous for. Its "one-touch" push-pull design makes it incredibly intuitive for capturing fast-paced action.

Key Features

• Extended Telephoto Reach: The 300mm focal length allows for dramatic subject isolation and background compression.

• One-Touch Zoom/Focus: A single, large rubberized ring handles both zooming and focusing, allowing for rapid adjustments without moving your hand.

• Super Spectra Coating (S.S.C.): Advanced multi-coating that effectively eliminates flare and ghosting, ensuring professional-grade clarity.

• Lightweight Design: Despite its significant zoom range, the lens is engineered to be portable and well-balanced on A-series and F-series bodies.

• Consistent Physical Profile: The lens barrel does not extend significantly while zooming, maintaining a stable center of gravity.

Condition Report

• Body: Like new. The exterior barrel is flawless, with no scratches, paint wear, or signs of handling. The rubber grip is perfectly preserved and free from whitening.

• Optics: Crystal clear. The glass is free from fungus, haze, or scratches. Internal dust is virtually non-existent, which is rare for a push-pull zoom of this era.

• Mechanics: The push-pull action is silky smooth with zero "zoom creep." The aperture blades are pristine, snappy, and entirely free of oil.

Specialist Note

"It is rare to find the FD 100-300mm in this 'time-capsule' state. This lens was a favorite for outdoor enthusiasts, and most show significant wear on the push-pull barrel. Serial number 26824 is a collector-grade example that feels tight and precise, offering the same mechanical performance it did on day one. For the film photographer or mirrorless adapter looking for a flawless long-range zoom, this is it."
