AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Thank you for your viewing.
The Canon FD 55mm f/1.2 was launched in 1971 alongside the flagship Canon F-1, and it was Canon's fastest standard lens of that era. Its 7-element, 5-group optical design gives a creamy, three-dimensional rendering wide open at f/1.2, which made it a favourite among portrait and available-light photographers of the film era. It is a lens that embodies the golden age of Japanese optical engineering, built with a solid all-metal construction that still feels reassuring in the hand today.
