Description

Body Serial: 1305502

Lens Serial: 54872

Lens: Canon FD 50mm f/1.8

Condition:

7.8 out of 10 — Very good condition. Moderate cosmetic wear consistent with careful use over the years. The camera has been fully serviced and all major functions—including shutter speeds, light meter, film advance, and exposure controls—operate properly. The lens glass is clean with no haze, fungus, or scratches. Cosmetic condition is slightly reduced due to engraving on the bottom plate, but the camera remains an excellent mechanical and photographic performer.

Includes:

• 1984 Olympic Games Canon Lens Cap

Quirks:

Fully CLA'd by our Florida Repair Tech on July 23, 2026. The bottom plate has engraved letters and numbers from a previous owner, which are purely cosmetic and do not affect functionality in any way. The engraving has been reflected in the overall condition rating.
