Collector Notes:

The T80 is a fascinating bridge between eras—offering autofocus before the EF mount existed. While its AC lenses are limited to this model, the body still accepts FD lenses with focus assist. The 35–70mm AC lens was one of only three autofocus lenses made for the T80, making this a complete and historically important set.
