Manufacturer description #1

This lens was developed as a product in the same series as the FD28-55mm f/3.5-4.5 wide-angle zoom lens (released in December 1983) and the FD35-70mm f/3.5-4.5 standard zoom lens (released in March 1983), which are both highly regarded for being compact and offering good lens performance.

The optical system uses a 3-group zoom optical system, and together with streamlining of the barrel structure and the implementation of the new material called engineering plastic, the lens provides high image quality while being significantly lighter and more compact, and at an affordable price of under 50,000 yen.

It has a zoom ratio of approximately 2.7x covering focal lengths from 75mm to 200mm, and with a wide macro mechanism enabling close shooting down to approximately 55cm from the film plane at wide angle. It also has excellent cost performance, and combined with the good portability and operability resulting from the lightweight and compact design, the lens is effective in a wide range of shooting as a telephoto zoom lens that can easily be used by anyone.

Manufacturer description #2

This popular size lens has a 2.67 zoom ratio ranging from short telephoto to moderate telephoto. It uses a mechanical compensation system, and features compact size along with steady performance throughout its zoom range. Operational control is by push/pull of a single ring. The addition of a macro mechanism makes close focusing possible to 0.55m with a magnification of 0.2X.

Manufacturer description #3

The 75-200mm lens was recently developed to complement the T-series cameras. Extensive use of engineering plastic has resulted in an extremely lightweight lens and has also lowered production costs which makes the price to the consumer more affordable. The exterior finish of the lens is flat black to match the T70 and T50 and the zooming/focusing ring has a rubber no-slip surface which makes operation easy even if the photographer's hand is wet.
