AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Canon FD 55mm f/1.2 S.S.C. ASPHERICAL is a mythical high-speed lens produced in August 1976.
It is a historic reference, notably thanks to its hand-cut aspherical element and its Super Spectra Coating (S.S.C.) anti-reflective treatment.
Short description: Dedicated to professionals and demanding enthusiasts of the era of the FD breech-lock mount, this lens delivers exceptional sharpness and contrast from full open at f/1.2, eliminating a large portion of spherical aberrations. It is worth noting that thorium-containing glass is used in the optical formula, which gives the glass a slightly amber tint over time.
Technical data:
Weight: 0.575 kg (about 575 g).
Dimensions: Maximum diameter: 7.58 cm; Length: 5.5 cm; Filter diameter: 5.8 cm (58 mm)
Materials: Barrel and housing: All-metal construction / mechanical brass, ensuring high robustness.
Optics: High-density glass lenses (8 elements in 6 groups), one of which is shaped aspherical. Focus ring: Ribbed synthetic rubber coating for a better grip.
