Canon FD 100mm F/2.8 S.S.C. MF Telephoto Lens

The Canon FD 100mm f/2.8 S.S.C. is a classic manual focus telephoto lens designed for Canon's FD-mount 35mm film cameras. Known for its sharp rendering, smooth mechanical operation, and beautiful background blur, this lens is a reliable performer for portraiture, nature, product photography, and video work.

Its compact form, bright f/2.8 aperture, and sturdy all-metal construction make it a practical choice for photographers who appreciate tactile manual control and timeless image quality. This lens also adapts well to modern mirrorless systems, delivering a vintage look with excellent contrast and character.

About the Product

Built during an era when lens design focused on mechanical precision and pure optical performance, the FD 100mm f/2.8 S.S.C. holds up remarkably well today. The Super Spectra Coating helps reduce flare and ghosting in strong lighting conditions, while the medium telephoto focal length delivers flattering compression and subject separation.

Whether you're shooting film or digital (with an adapter), this lens offers a tactile, focused shooting experience with image quality that rivals many modern lenses — especially for portraits and still-life subjects.
