Quantaray 70-210mm f/4-5.6 Macro Lens (Canon FD Mount, 52mm Filter Thread)
The Quantaray 70-210mm f/4-5.6 Macro is a classic, vintage manual-focus telephoto zoom lens engineered for legacy Canon 35mm film SLR cameras. Utilizing the traditional breech-lock connection system, this lens pairs seamlessly with iconic mechanical bodies like the Canon AE-1, F-1, FTb, and A-1. Offering a versatile telephoto range combined with dedicated macro capabilities, it allows photographers to isolate distant action, shoot compressed landscapes, or step close to capture tight detail work.

CONDITION NOTE
Untested / Optical Blemishes / Sold AS-IS: This vintage lens is being sold strictly AS-IS and untested.

Optics: The internal glass elements contain visible internal dust and light fungus growth on a middle element.

Performance: The lens has not been mounted to a camera body or checked for mechanical accuracy (such as zoom tracking, aperture blade snappiness, or focus ring oiling). It is offered at a low price point for parts, repair, optical experimentation, or as a practice piece for lens cleaning restoration.

Versatile Telephoto Zoom with Macro Functionality
70-210mm Focal Telephoto Range: Delivers a classic telephoto zoom range that is ideal for compressed landscape vistas, candid portraits, and capturing distant sports or wildlife action.

Integrated Macro Capability: Features a specialized macro setting that lets you focus closely on small subjects like flowers, textures, and product details, making it a highly versatile multi-use lens option.

Variable f/4-5.6 Maximum Aperture: The variable aperture design keeps the lens barrel remarkably compact and lightweight compared to fast constant zooms, making it highly portable for travel and outdoor film photography.

Fully Tactile Mechanical Design: Outfitted with physical, ribbed manual focus and zoom rings alongside a click-stopped aperture ring, providing the precise, pure mechanical shooting experience of the analogue film era.

Structural Configuration
Canon FD Breech-Lock Mount: Built with the traditional chrome breech-lock ring at the base of the lens, ensuring a secure, light-tight mechanical connection to all native Canon FD-mount manual film SLR cameras.

Universal 52mm Front Filter Thread: Uses a standard 52mm front thread size, making it easy to attach common vintage filters like circular polarizers, neutral density filters, or black-and-white contrast modifiers.

Thomas ★★★★★

I've been using this Quantaray zoom on my Canon FD body for street photography, and the 52mm filter thread makes it easy to swap out my existing UV filters. The manual focus ring has a nice, damped feel that’s perfect for precise adjustments. It’s a solid vintage lens for the price.

David P. ★★★★★

The breech lock mechanism feels incredibly solid and satisfying to use, and I’m impressed by how sharp the macro shots are at 210mm. It’s got that nice, heavy, all-metal build from the 80s that just makes you feel like you’re holding a real piece of gear.

Hannah D. ★★★★★

Picked this up for my old Canon FD body and the 52mm filter thread makes it easy to pair with gear I already own. The macro capability at the long end is genuinely useful, and the manual focus ring has that satisfying damped feel you don't get on modern lenses. A little heavy for everyday carry, but
