Canon New FD 100-300mm f/5.6 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.” Whats Included Canon New FD 100-300mm f/5.6 Lens (S/N 26824) Original Canon front lens cap Original Canon FD rear lens cap Integrated tripod mount (if applicable) Technical Specifications Category: Photographic Lenses Focal Length: 100-300mm Maximum Aperture: f/5.6 Minimum Aperture: f/32 Lens Mount: Canon New FD (nFD) Optical Construction: 14 elements in 9 groups Filter Size: 58mm Minimum Focus Distance: 2.0 meters (6.6 ft)
