The aperture ring provides a range from f/4.5 to f/32, including a green A setting for automatic aperture control on compatible camera bodies. A silver-tone identification plate is riveted to the barrel and inscribed: Canon, CANON LENS, FD 600mm 1:4.5, 10287, CANON LENS MADE IN JAPAN. The lens is fitted with a built-in tripod mounting foot and an attached black shoulder strap.

The exterior of the case is decorated with several vintage 1990s Formula 1 racing stickers, including F1 - Imola 94, Autodromo di Monza, and Gran Premio di San Marino, suggesting professional sports photography provenance. The lot includes the original leather-style Canon front lens cap and a rear cap.
