Compact Vintage Wide-Angle Prime Lens
The Canon FD 28mm f/3.5 S.C. is a classic manual focus wide-angle prime lens offering a generous 75-degree diagonal angle of view. Engineered with a sophisticated 6-element, air-spaced optical formula, it debuted as one of the lightest and most compact wide lenses in Canon’s legacy lineup. Its expansive depth of field makes it an exceptional choice for street photographers who prefer to pre-focus for rapid, fast-breaking candid snapshots. Built with Canon’s iconic breech-lock mounting ring and Spectra Coating (S.C.), it delivers a timeless mechanical feel and vintage rendering.
