Canon FD 50mm 1:1.8 S.C Lens - Spare & Repair

Vintage Canon FD 50mm 1:1.8 S.C Lens - Spare & Repair

The FD lens mount is a breech-lock mount, which is a variation of the common triple-flanged bayonet attachment. The advantage of the breech-lock over the bayonet is that neither the contact surfaces between the body and lens, nor the signalling mechanisms, rotate against each other when the lens is mounted. This prevents any mechanical wear, which could conceivably reduce the very precise lens-to-film distance or introduce communication errors between lens and body.

Good Stuff:

• Lens body overall is ok
• Aperture speeds ring seems to be moving fine

• Lens has sign of fungus, dust & marks
• Lens focusing ring seems to be stuck and wont move
• Due to the issue, this item being sold as is - No Return
