Canon nFD 3.5 50-135mm - an unusual standard zoom


Canon offered a range 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.
This 3.5 50-135mm zoom presented here is interesting for all those who like to combine a normal focal length with light telephoto lenses - and that with a relatively high speed of 3.5 in a compact design!

Take a look at my colorful mix of example photos and decide whether the optical performance is sufficient for you.
For me, this lens still gets a clear buy recommendation for your analog and digital camera, if you like this focal length, maybe in a pair with the Canon FDn 3.5 20-35mm L?!
