[MINT+++ in Box /Caps] Canon New FD NFD 135mm f/2 MF Telephoto Lens From JAPAN£368

What it is

{"overview":"The Canon FD 135mm f\/2 is a fast short-telephoto prime for the manual-focus FD mount, produced during Canon's FD era that ran from 1971 to 1987. As of 2026 the lens still sells for similar money at saleroom level, and clean, haze-free copies tend to sit toward the upper end of that band while examples with cosmetic or optical faults drift lower.","buying_guide":"Inspect the front and rear groups for fungus, haze and cleaning marks, as the large elements in a fast 135mm are expensive to have professionally cleaned.

Questions

Is the Canon FD 135mm f/2 a good value fast telephoto?

For FD-system users it offers one of the fastest 135mm apertures in the range at a price well below comparable modern autofocus equivalents, so value is strong provided the glass is clean and the focus is smooth.

What should I check before buying one?

Prioritise optical condition — fungus, haze and separation in the cemented groups — followed by oil-free aperture blades and a smoothly damped focus ring, since these are the faults that most often pull the price down.
