Canon 35-70mm f/3.5-4.5 AC Autofocus Lens for Canon T80 FD-Mount Review

The Canon 35-70mm f/3.5-4.5 AC is a legacy autofocus zoom lens designed exclusively for the Canon T80, the company's short-lived FD-mount autofocus camera from the mid-1980s. This lens is incompatible with modern Canon EF or RF mounts and will not work with any other FD-mount bodies, limiting its utility to collectors and the small number of photographers still shooting with the T80. At 43 dollars on the used market, it represents a niche curiosity rather than a practical tool for most creators. The variable f/3.5-4.5 aperture is typical for budget zooms of its era, and the 35-70mm range offers modest wide-to-portrait coverage. Given the T80's rarity and the lens's lack of compatibility with broader systems, this is a highly specialized purchase with little crossover appeal.
