Albinar 135mm F2.8 FD Mount

Albinar 135mm f/2.8 (FD Mount)

The Albinar 135mm f/2.8 is a manual‑focus telephoto lens designed for Canon FD‑mount 35mm cameras. At 135mm, it’s well‑suited to portraits, compressed landscapes, and detail shots, giving a tight field of view with pleasing background separation. The fast f/2.8 maximum aperture allows for shallow depth of field and better low‑light performance than slower consumer telephotos.

Focus is manual via a long, damped focus throw, making precise focusing easier for portrait and close‑up work. Aperture is controlled by a mechanical ring on the barrel, typically stopping down to around f/22, with click‑stops for quick changes while shooting. Optical construction is a classic telephoto design with multi‑coated glass elements aimed at reducing flare and improving contrast, especially on color film.
