Canon FD system        Standard lenses

The following table includes all Canon FD standard lenses. If the description in the first column is underlined, it provides a link to a page on that specific lens with a photograph of the lens and and a diagram showing the construction. At the moment there are links to pages with extra information for (most) lenses with the newer black mount only. If I can find photographs and construction drawings of the older lenses, I will add these too.
