Canon FD 2,8/100mm | Telelens

The Canon FD 100mm f/2.8 “Chrome Nose” is one of the most elegant short telephotos of the first generation of the FD lineup. Produced in the early 1970s, it is easily recognizable by its chrome-front ring that earned it the nickname Chrome Nose. Renowned for its excellent sharpness, balanced contrast, and its magnificent rendering of backgrounds, it excels particularly in portraits, where its 100 mm focal length provides a flattering and natural perspective. Its fully metal construction testifies to Canon's mechanical craftsmanship of the era. Compact, robust and endowed with an optical character highly appreciated by film photography enthusiasts, it remains today a classic sought after by collectors and vintage lens enthusiasts. The unit for sale is close to mint condition.
