Canon FD 1,2/55mm | Prime lens

Stunning Canon FD 55mm f/1.2 – Fast Vintage Lens with Beautiful Bokeh Experience the pinnacle of 1970s optical engineering with this legendary Canon FD 55mm f/1.2. Known for its incredible "speed" and creamy bokeh, this large-aperture vintage lens is a dream for portrait photographers and low-light enthusiasts. Whether you are a film purist or a mirrorless shooter using an adapter, this lens delivers a unique, cinematic character that modern lenses simply cannot replicate. Condition & Operation This unit has been carefully tested and is in excellent working order. Mechanical: Both the focus ring and aperture blades operate perfectly. The movement is smooth and consistent across the entire range—neither too heavy nor too light—providing a premium tactile experience. Optics: The optics remain in good vintage condition. There is no yellowing (yellow tint) common in lenses of this era, ensuring natural color reproduction. There is some minor dust inclusion, faint haze, and slight cleaning marks (scratches) consistent with its age. However, these do not have a significant impact on general image quality. Product Specifications Manufacturer: Canon Mount: Canon FD (Breach lock) Maximum Aperture: f/1.2 Lens Construction: 7 elements in 5 groups Minimum Focus Distance: 0.6m Filter Size: 58mm Accessories: Front and Rear Caps, Protective Filter Shipping Policy: We will ship your order with a tracking number within 1-3 business days after payment confirmation.
