What it is

{"overview":"The Canon FD 85-300mm f\/4.5 is a manual-focus telephoto zoom for Canon's FD mount, the breech-lock system used on Canon SLRs from 1971 to 1987. These are wholesale saleroom figures rather than dealer retail, so today in 2026 the lens is worth roughly what those hammer prices suggest for a clean, working example, and condition largely dictates where within that band a copy sells for.","buying_guide":"Given the size of the front group and the age of FD-era glass, inspect carefully for fungus and haze inside the long barrel, oil on the aperture blades, and any coating scratches on the large front element.

Questions

Will this lens fit modern Canon EF or RF cameras?

Not natively — it is an FD breech-lock mount lens from the 1971-1987 FD era, so use on EF or RF bodies requires an adapter and remains manual focus only.
