    Overview

    The Canon FD 80-200mm f/4 SSC (also known as nFD 80-200mm f/4 L) is a constant-aperture zoom with solid build quality typical of the nFD series. Optically, it is highly regarded for sharpness, color rendition, and character, but sample variation is a major concern: mold and haze can severely degrade image quality, causing softness. It has a push-pull zoom, 58mm filter thread, and weighs 675g. This lens suits vintage enthusiasts willing to hunt for a clean copy; buyers should inspect thoroughly for internal fungus.
