With its durable all-metal construction and built-in retractable lens hood, it represents a rugged and capable option for vintage film enthusiasts or mirrorless shooters using adapters.

Versatile Telephoto Performance
Fast f/2.8 Aperture: The bright maximum aperture allows for faster shutter speeds in lower light and creates a shallow depth of field, making your subject “pop” against a smooth, blurred background.

Multi-Coated Optics: Designed to improve light transmission and reduce flare, the multi-coating helps maintain contrast and color fidelity in various lighting conditions.

Integrated Lens Hood: The barrel features a built-in, retractable metal hood, providing immediate protection against stray light and flare without the need for additional accessories.

Tactile Handling: Features a wide, textured focus ring for precise manual control and a clicked aperture ring for intuitive exposure adjustments.

Condition Note: “Value Grade / AS-IS”
Functional Status: This lens has been tested and remains fully operational. The focus ring turns smoothly, the aperture blades are snappy and free of oil, and the mount attaches securely to Canon FD bodies.

Optical Condition: Please be advised that there is visible internal fungus and dust present within the lens elements. While the lens is functional, these optical imperfections may cause a loss of contrast or increased flare in certain lighting situations.

Sale Terms: Due to the noted optical issues, this lens is being sold STRICTLY AS-IS. It is a perfect candidate for those looking for a “character” lens for creative experimentation, a budget-friendly option for learning manual photography, or a project for cleaning and restoration.
