Description from the seller

Canon FL 50mm f/1.8

Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.

The Canon FL 50mm f/1.8 is a classic standard lens from Canon's FL mount era, produced from 1964. The FL series preceded the renowned FD series, and this lens features solid all-metal construction with 6 elements in 4 groups. The fast f/1.8 aperture provides good low-light capability and pleasant bokeh.

Compatible with all Canon FL and FD mount film SLRs (on FD bodies, stopped-down metering only). Can also be adapted to modern mirrorless cameras via adapters.

IMPORTANT — Please read carefully:
The rear element is severely fogged, and the front element is slightly fogged. This produces a noticeable soft focus effect in images. The mechanical condition is good — helicoid is smooth and aperture blades are clean. This is priced as a Bargain item reflecting these optical flaws.

Pre-owned, functional but has noticeable optical flaws.
