Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 S.C.

Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 S.C. - Like New | The Classic Wide-Angle Essential

The Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 S.C. is an indispensable wide-angle prime lens, celebrated for its natural perspective and edge-to-edge sharpness. This "Spectra Coating" (S.C.) version features the legendary breech-lock mount and robust all-metal construction that defined Canon’s professional era. With a wide 75-degree field of view, it is the perfect companion for landscape, architecture, and street photography, allowing you to capture expansive scenes without the heavy distortion of wider lenses. Its compact size and bright f/2.8 aperture make it an excellent choice for low-light environments and a favorite for those who prefer the tactile, mechanical precision of vintage Japanese optics.

Specialist Note "The 28mm f/2.8 S.C. is often considered the 'sweet spot' of the FD wide-angle lineup. While the later nFD versions were lighter, this SC version feels much more substantial and precise in the hand. Finding one in this 'Like New' condition is becoming increasingly difficult. It produces images with a beautiful vintage character—rich colors and a classic contrast that looks stunning on both 35mm film and modern digital sensors via an adapter."
