Description
The Canon FD 24mm f/2.8 S.S.C. was a very popular wide-angle prime lens, offering a significant step wider than 28mm while remaining relatively compact and affordable compared to faster or wider options. Introduced in 1973 with Super Spectra Coating, it delivered sharp images with good contrast and became a staple for landscape, architectural, and reportage photographers using the Canon FD system. Its balance of angle of view, aperture speed, size, and image quality made it a workhorse lens.
