Description:
The Canon FD 85mm f1.8 is one of the most versatile portrait lenses in the FD lineup, offering a flattering short-telephoto perspective with stunning background separation. Its bright f1.8 aperture makes it perfect for low-light shooting and achieving beautifully soft bokeh, while the 85mm focal length renders faces naturally without distortion. With sharp optics and smooth manual focus, it’s a lens built for creative portraiture, detail shots, and even candid street photography. This copy is new old stock, still boxed, making it a rare chance to experience a classic lens in untouched condition.

I understand—it can be overwhelming to choose with so many options available.
For everyday use, I usually recommend Kodak Gold 200 or Kodak Ultramax 400 as both are super versatile, offer beautiful, rich colours, and are quite forgiving.
If you’re looking for black-and-white film, Ilford XP2 400 is a great option for ease of use and rich exposure latitude. Alternatively, Foma 100 is also great and will give you a bit more contrast and a grainier look.
