Common Expressions: FD

Expressions Definition
Canon FD The Canon FD lens mount is a physical standard for connecting a photographic lens to a single-lens reflex camera body. The standard was developed by Canon of Japan and was introduced in March 1971 with the Canon F-1. It was the primary Canon SLR lens mounting system until 1987 when the cameras from the Canon EOS series were first produced. The last camera in the FD system was the Canon T60, from 1990. The FD mount replaced Canon's earlier FL mount; FD-mount cameras could use FL lenses in stop-down metering mode. (references)
Canon FD 35-70 mm AF lens The Canon FD 35-70mm AF lens of 1981 was Canon's first attempt at adding autofocus capability to their range of single-lens reflex cameras. Canon took their existing, successful Canon FD 35-70mm f/4 lens and added a box above the lens containing a self-contained autofocus mechanism, Canon's SST (Solid State Triangulation) system, as used in the AF35ML compact camera earlier that year.
