Description

Osawa was a prominent Japanese distributor and manufacturer that produced a wide range of third-party lenses during the 1970s and 80s. This 70-210mm is a classic "one-touch" zoom, where a single large rubberized ring controls both the focal length (push/pull) and the focus (rotate). It features "MC" (Multi-Coated) optics to reduce flare and a useful Macro function for close-up photography at the 210mm end. This specific unit appears to be a Canon FD mount (indicated by the silver breech-lock ring and the aperture linkage pins), making it a perfect match for cameras like the Canon AE-1 or A-1. While Osawa eventually went bankrupt in 1984, their lenses remain a popular, budget-friendly choice for film photographers and digital adaptors today.
