Our editorial take on the Kiron 28-105mm f/3.2-4.5 Macro Breech Lock Lens for Canon FD-Mount
The Kiron 28-105mm f/3.2-4.5 Macro is a third-party zoom lens built for Canon FD-mount cameras, part of the breech-lock system that predates the modern EF mount. This all-in-one zoom offers a practical range from wide-angle to short telephoto, along with macro focusing capability. It was a budget-friendly alternative to Canon's own glass during the FD era and remains available today on the used market in bargain condition.
At around $22 used, this lens represents an extremely low-cost entry point for anyone shooting FD-mount film cameras or using an adapter on mirrorless bodies. The macro feature adds close-focusing versatility, though optical performance and build quality are commensurate with its economy-tier positioning. Expect the lens to show wear given its bargain grading. For creators working with vintage Canon film gear or experimenting with adapted legacy glass for a retro look, it delivers broad focal coverage at minimal expense.
- Very affordable entry to FD-mount system
- Wide 28-105mm range covers most shooting scenarios
- Macro focusing capability for close-up work
- FD mount is obsolete and requires adapters for modern cameras
- Bargain condition means visible wear and potential optical issues
