Canon FD 1.2/55mm S.S.C. Aspherical | Analogue camera

The Canon FD 55mm f/1.2 S.S.C. ASPHERICAL is a mythical fast-aperture lens produced in August 1976.

It is a historical reference, notably thanks to its hand-ground aspherical lens and its Super Spectra Coating (S.S.C.) anti-reflective coating.

Short description: Reserved for professionals and demanding enthusiasts of the era of the FD breech-lock mount, this lens offers exceptional sharpness and contrast from full aperture f/1.2, eliminating a large part of spherical aberrations. It should be noted that it incorporates thorium-containing glass in the optical formula, which gives the glass a slightly amber tint over time.
