Canon FD Lens Mount Guide

The Canon FD lens mount was first used on the Canon F-1, released in 1971.

It was used until 1992 when it was discontinued as manufacturers developed autofocus systems.. The Canon EOS EF mount replaced it.

The FD mount adds full aperture metering compared to the previous FL-mount, which used stop down metering. That required a lever to be pressed to stop the lens down to the setting on the aperture ring.

FL and R-mount lenses can be used on FD cameras as long as they have a stop down lever.

Canon FD Mount Lenses

Canon FD 50mm f1.8 Lens that was the kit lens for the Canon AE-1 — Canon FD 50mm f1.8 Lens

Canon made 134 different FD lenses that ranged from 7.5mm to 1200mm.

There is a mixture of consumer and professional lenses with fast maximum apertures.

All but four of the lenses are manual focus. They were released before the announcement of the EOS EF system.

New FD Lens Revision

The FD lens mount is a breech lock design. There could be a problem when mounting, causing lenses to get stuck on a lens mount.

To reduce problems, lenses were changed to act more like a bayonet style mount, like the Nikon F-mount.

Canon FD Autofocus Lenses

There a 3 AC lenses that will only autofocus with the Canon T80.

AC 50mm f/1.8
AC 35-70mm f/3.5-4.5
AC 75-200mm f/4.5

Adapting Lenses

The Canon FD lens mount has a flange focal distance of 42mm. That makes it difficult to adapt other 35mm film SLR lenses.

There is not enough space for a lens adapter. The adapter will be too wide, preventing the lens from focusing at infinity. Any added space away from the film plane will act as an extension tube.

A solution is adapter with optics. Unfortunately, the optics are poor quality and sharpness will greatly suffer. They’re like smearing petroleum jelly on a front lens element.

FD mount lenses can easily be adapted to any mirrorless camera system. Many camera have features to aid manual focusing, even with an adapted lens.
