This is the last lens made for the T80, an autofocus camera, that could also use manual focus lenses. Canon made three AC lenses: 50mm, 35-70mm, and this 75-200mm. These AC lenses can only be used as autofocus with the T80, so they have limited appeal and generally cost very little. From what I can find, Canon made fewer of the 75-200mm than the other two (or any nFD lens for that matter). In bright sunlight, this lens performs well enough even with subjects moving parallel to the shooter. Subjects moving towards the shooter will not be in focus even though there is a Servo focusing mode. It has a "macro" mode for close focusing. As with the other two AC lenses it is easily confused by horizontal and vertical lines. In one shot mode image quality is good. The build quality is concerning--the lens seems very fragile even in comparison to other New FD lenses. I cannot imagine it surviving even a short fall or inadvertently bumping into something. I own multiple working copies as I assume one will fail at some point. Luckily, the T80 can use other nFD lenses too. I bought the T80 because it is an oddball, experimental type of body, that paved the way for EF lenses and EOS bodies. It was only made for about a year. The body and lenses are definitely worth playing around with for a cheap price. There is no reason to throw good money at it.
