Manual-focus standard prime for Canon FD film cameras. Middle of the FD 50mm range between f/1.4 and f/3.5 Macro.

The Canon FD 50mm f/2 is a standard prime for the Canon FD SLR system, introduced with the FD mount in 1971. The FD designation indicates the fully automatic aperture transmission mechanism. The 50mm f/2 is the more compact and lighter sibling of the 50mm f/1.4, trading one stop of aperture for reduced size and weight.

50mm focal length, f/2 maximum aperture, Canon FD mount, manual focus, full-frame 35mm coverage, 52mm filter thread, 6-element design.

The Canon FD 50mm f/2 is a practical, widely available FD standard prime. Compared to the 50mm f/1.4, it is smaller and lighter; compared to the 50mm f/1.8, it has a higher build quality. On modern mirrorless systems via FD adapter (no native Canon AF-to-FD adapter exists), it functions as a fully manual standard lens. S.S.C. (Super Spectra Coating) versions have improved flare resistance over earlier non-SSC versions.

Test aperture ring and FD coupling ring engagement (the FD coupling ring requires a specific rotation sequence to mount). Check focus helicoid smoothness. Inspect glass for haze — stored FD lenses frequently develop internal haze. Check for S.S.C. or earlier coating designation. Verify aperture closes fully and opens cleanly.
