## Canon New FD 50mm f/1.2 L Professional Manual Focus Lens

This auction is for the legendary **Canon New FD 50mm f/1.2 L**, the crown jewel of Canon’s manual focus standard lenses. The "L" designation identifies this as a professional-tier lens, featuring a hand-ground aspherical element to correct aberrations that are common in ultra-fast optics. This lens is highly coveted by film photographers and modern mirrorless cinematographers alike for its extraordinary rendering, sharpness, and the characteristic "red ring" build quality.

### Key Features and Professional Specifications

* **Model:** Canon New FD 50mm f/1.2 L.
* **Mount:** **Canon FD mount** (Compatible with Canon F-1, A-1, AE-1 Program, T90, and other FD-mount SLR cameras. Can be easily adapted to modern mirrorless systems like Sony E, Canon RF, and Fujifilm X).
* **Focal Length:** **50mm**, the classic standard focal length.
* **Aperture:** Ultra-fast maximum aperture of **f/1.2**, allowing for extreme low-light performance and an incredibly shallow depth of field with creamy, professional-grade bokeh.
* **Optical Construction:** 7 elements in 5 groups. It incorporates a high-precision **Aspherical element** to ensure high contrast and sharpness even when shooting wide open at f/1.2, which is rare for lenses of this era.
* **Coatings:** Features Canon’s advanced **S.S.C. (Super Spectra Coating)** to minimize flare and ghosting while ensuring excellent color balance.
* **Build Quality:** Professional "L" series construction, built to the highest mechanical standards. It features the signature red ring that denotes Canon's top-tier optics.
* **Diaphragm:** 8-blade diaphragm for smooth, natural out-of-focus highlights.
* **Filter Size:** 52mm.

### Why the Canon New FD 50mm f/1.2 L?

This lens is more than just a piece of glass; it is a masterpiece of optical history. While the standard FD 50mm f/1.2 is a great lens, the **"L" version** with its aspherical element is in a different league regarding resolution and control of aberrations. It is widely considered one of the best 50mm lenses ever produced by Canon, offering a unique "vintage-modern" look that is highly sought after for both stills and character-rich video work.
