Canon FD 35-70mm f/2.8-3.5 SSC - Good Condition | Classic Fast Standard Zoom in Canon FD Mount

The Canon FD 35-70mm f/2.8-3.5 SSC is a fast and capable standard zoom from Canon's respected FD lens lineup — covering a versatile 35-70mm range with an impressively fast maximum aperture that sets it apart from typical standard zooms of its era. The SSC (Super Spectra Coating) designation reflects Canon's advanced multi-layer coating technology — delivering outstanding contrast, accurate colour rendition, and exceptional resistance to flare and ghosting. The f/2.8 maximum aperture at the wide end makes it a genuinely capable low-light zoom, while the 35-70mm range covers the most useful everyday focal lengths in a single practical package. In Canon FD mount, it pairs naturally with the full range of Canon FD film bodies and adapts effortlessly to modern mirrorless systems. Serial number SR 22301.
