Canon Lens FD 50mm f/1.8 (fast, prime) Lens Porn

Click any picture to see it 4x larger, which is ridiculous. The first picture is already larger than life-size on your computer screen!

The front says CANON LENS FD 50mm 1:1.8 / CANON LENS MADE IN JAPAN and the worst cosmetic blemish I can see is a ~3mm scuff on the "steps" leading down to the front element



Very little mechanical wear is evident.



The blades on the iris are free of oil. No drag when operated manually.



I used a cut-down rear lens cap to let me operate the lever for the aperture.



This is an old lens from when 50mm was normal on film SLR cameras. Is there dust inside? Yes but it won't show in your pictures. This is focused on the rear element through the cut-out lens cap. Read that linked article and come back and tell me you see a problem here.



More pictures because - well, why not?
