Can anyone suggest me a standard zoom FD zoom lens similar to Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 zoom lens?

I have been looking at Canon FD 35-105mm f/3.5 lens but it is actually a bit more difficult to find one than I thought especially because I am based in Australia.

Can someone suggest me either a FD lens or any other vintage standard zoom lens for potential videography? Hopefully a lens with constant aperture? And tell me where I can purchase them?

Thank you very much.

In the MF days there were no f2.8 standard zooms, really. And 24mm was for wide angle zooms.

The FD 35-70mm f2.8-3.5 is the closest you can get.
