Canon FDn AF 4.0 35-70mm - another unusual standard zoom.
Canon offered a number of standard zoom lenses for cameras with FD bayonet. Among them were the fabulous goodies Canon (n)FD 2.8-3.5 35-70mm and Canon nFD 3.5 35-105mm or the optically equally very good Canon nFD 3.5 50-135mm.
This 4.0 35-70mm zoom presented here is interesting for all those who would like to enter the time of the beginning of automatic focusing in the SLR camera market and just take pictures just for fun - this lens is certainly an eye-catcher!
In this video you will get to know the lens and whether it is worth buying.

See for yourself my colorful mix of sample photos and decide if the optical performance is enough for you.
I find the lens to be very good slightly stopped down, especially considering that this lens was introduced in 1981!
