What it is

Lens mount
Canon EF mount · Canon FD mount

The Canon FD 100mm f/2.8 is a manual-focus short telephoto prime for the Canon FD mount, a system Canon produced from 1971 until 1987 before switching to the EF autofocus mount. Its moderate telephoto reach and relatively fast f/2.8 aperture made it a practical choice for portraits, candids and compressed-perspective work on Canon SLR bodies of that era.

Inspect the front and rear elements under a bright light for fungus, haze and cleaning marks on the coatings, and check for any signs of element separation around the cemented groups. Work the aperture blades to confirm they snap cleanly and are free of oil, and rotate the focus ring through its full travel to feel for stiffness, grease migration or sticky spots common on FD-era helicoids.

Questions

Is the Canon FD 100mm f/2.8 a collectible lens?

The current price data suggests it trades as an affordable user lens rather than a collector item, with consistent low-double-digit hammer results rather than rising premiums.

What should I check before buying one?

Look closely for fungus, haze, oily aperture blades, coating scratches and any stiffness in the focus ring, as these are the main issues that affect value on FD-era primes.
