This lens features a Canon FD manual-focus lens mount, explicitly indicated by the red text stamped right onto the base.Vivitar used \"C/FD\" as their internal engraving designation to signify that the lens was built natively to fit Canon cameras using the FD mount system. Physically, this specific version is the \"New FD\" (nFD) configuration. Instead of having the old chrome breech-lock ring at the very bottom, the entire black outer barrel twists and snaps onto the camera body just like a modern bayonet lens.What cameras does it fit?1. Vintage Film Cameras (Native Fit)This lens will lock straight onto Canon manual-focus 35mm SLR film cameras produced roughly between 1971 and the late 1980s. Popular compatible bodies include:Canon AE-1 and AE-1 ProgramCanon A-1Canon AV-1Canon T50, T70, and T90Canon F-1 and New F-1(Note: It will NOT fit or lock onto modern Canon digital DSLRs like the Rebel, 5D, or 80D series without heavily corrective glass-element adapters, which typically degrade image quality.)2. Modern Mirrorless Cameras (Via Adapter)Because vintage Canon FD glass features an excellent vintage render, it can easily be mounted to modern mirrorless digital cameras using an inexpensive, purely mechanical manual adapter. You can pair this lens up with:Sony E-mount (using an FD to NEX adapter)Fujifilm X-mount (using an FD to FX adapter)Canon mirrorless (using an FD to RF adapter)Micro Four Thirds / Panasonic / Olympus (using an FD to M4/3 adapter)When adapted to a modern digital camera, the lens will operate as a fully manual lens, meaning you must turn the rings on the barrel yourself to focus and change the exposure aperture.
I have examined this in good light and see no evidence of dust or fungus, but I don\"t claim to be an expert. It also comes with a Hoya 52mm PL (purple tinted) filter and a Tiffen 52mm Haze 1 Filter, and lens and mount protective covers.
