(sigma's locking breech mount.)
(swapping photos around to include clear nFD diagram, rephrase how it compares to other bayonets. Neither F-1 nor FTb were autoexposure though.)

Description

Canon's FD mount replaced the Canon FL mount in 1971 when the company introduced the F-1 and FTb. For the first time, Canon SLRs offered fully coupled open-aperture metering. In the initial version, the lens is placed against the lens flange without rotation, after which the silver "breechlock" mounting ring must be rotated to secure the lens. A (mostly theoretical) advantage is that lens and mounting flange never experiences any wear from rubbing, maintaining perfect flange focal distance.

In 1976, Canon introduced the "New FD" lenses. These offered the convenience of twisting on a lens one-handed (like competing bayonet style mounts) while still retaining the same body flange compatible with earlier breechlock lenses.

Some later Sigma FD lenses incorporated a locking version of the breech mount which looked very similar (in style, colour and placement of the locking button) to the release button on New FD lenses.

Adapters

The shallow body depth of R, FL and FD mounts makes it easy to mount other manufacturers' lenses using adapters without losing the ability to focus at infinity. This made Canon FD cameras among the most versatile cameras available.
