The very first lenses ever developed for the Canon FD mount date all the way back to 1964 and remained in development until the late 80s. There were three generations of lenses which include Canon FL, FD, and nFD lenses. Each generation offers its own blend of features which may or may not be ideal for you. Let’s examine the history of the Canon FD lineup to better understand what they have to offer.

You've made some pretty glaring errors in your video:
A couple of corrections are in order. FL lenses are not FD lenses. The difference between the two is that FD lenses meter wide open. FL lenses need to be stopped down to meter. FL does NOT refer to fluorite elements. There were two FL lenses that did use Fluorite. They were the 300mm 5.6 FL-F and the 500mm f5.6 FL-F. For those wondering, R lenses were pre-set lenses. That is, the diaphrams were completely manual.
Thank you! I like the FD and nFD lenses very much!
Very well done! Good look at the lineup as I'm looking to invest in some FD glass for my new mirrorless.
Short and sweet, and straight to the point. Nice!
I learnt so much with this 3 minutes, so informative, thanks!
All of your Vintage Lens Videos are good , Keep it up :)
Excellent video. Very informative.Thank you
That was so useful thanks man! No need to get very old and heavy lenses. Clever!
Enjoying ever of your videos! Keep up your great work 👍
Nice! I've been shooting with mirrorless m4/3 for two years now (first proper cameras since point and shoot quality), and i've been enjoying it alot. Along the way, i've also got into the habit of buying, testing, selling many lenses from various brands, seeing what sticks for my liking. Well, just lately i got lucky with the mint set of nFD 50mm f1.4, 35mm f2.8 and 70-210mm f4.0, mainly buying it for the f1.4, but so far, i've been quite impressed with all of the lenses. Yes, it's the usual film era quality but definitely on the better end of scale. It has that pleasant color output, great coating, quite sharp but more importantly how consistent in quality all these lenses are through-out. Especially wide open they are quite exceptional compared to the lot of them, with nice sharpness and very little negative traits. Quite impressive for vintage lenses now adapted to digital! Now i'm starting to see the Canon appeal, where as before they weren't my priority at all.
Thanks for clearing up some misconceptions mate! Off to eBay now 👍🏼
From my collection I tested my three vintage 24mm lenses to see which was the sharpest and clearest, using my Sony A7Rii.
Currently using a FDn 50mm f1.2 and a FD Vivitar Series 1 28-105mm f2.8-3.8 on my Sony a6300, with the Lens Turbo II and oh boy, what great lenses they are
Great video!
Thanks for sharing!!!!
Love your videos keep it up!
You are forgetting the R mount lenses that came in 1959. They are compatible with most FL and FD cameras too.
I will be receiving in the near future from Japan, a Canon FL 55/f1.2 lens. I intend to use it on my Canon F1N and Canon A1.
Recall when Canon dumped FD - such a shock but it was a smart move and lead to all of the benefits of EOS. Nikon tried it in small steps and failed resulting in multiple differences since the late 1980's. Of course now we have RF and with great backwards compatibility. I look forward to my first RF glass.
