Your classic telephoto companion for long-distance photography in the Engadine
The Canon FD 300mm 5.6 (Gen 1) used lens is a handy and popular telephoto classic from the FD era – in B condition (normal signs of wear) and with front and rear caps. With its 300mm focal length, you can bring distant subjects like chamois, birds, or sporting events closer without having to lug around a heavy professional telephoto lens. The Gen 1 version impresses with its relatively compact design and the typical FD mechanics. At Optik Foto Rutz, we inspect every used FD lens for optics, mechanics, and aperture function – and we offer a 30-day warranty on all used lenses against defects that impair functionality, in accordance with our terms and conditions!
