Canon offers the widest selection of interchangeable
lenses for any Variable Aperture AE camera being
manufactured today. The FD series of lenses permit
full AE operation and range from an incredible
15mm full frame fish-eye which "sees" a full 180 to
a 300mm telephoto having only an 8 angle of view.
Included in this series is a 50mm macro lens focusing
down to 8.4" with a life-size adapter, a 17mm
super-wide-angle taking in 104 of view without
rectilinear distortion, a 55mm f/1.2 ASPHERICAL
lens employing an aspherical element to completely
eliminate flare, and three zoom lenses, one equipped
with macro focusing (the 35-70mm lens). The FL
and manual series, although not designed for AE
photography, can be used on the Canon EF in the
stopped-down metering mode. Lenses from a 7.5mm
circular fish-eye lens all the way up to a 1200mm
super-telephoto are available from Canon. Three
special FL telephoto lenses each use one or more
artificial flourite elements to help combat chromatic
aberration, a universal problem present in telephoto
lens designs. (Even a fantastic 5200mm f/14 mirror
lens is available from the factory by special order.)
All Canon lenses are world-famous for their in-
credible resolving power, high image contrast,
superior color balance, and lack of aberrations. Most
lenses are now multi-layer coated with Canon's
exclusive process, called "Super Spectra Coating."
S.S.C, indicates multi-layer coating, whereas S.C.
(Spectra Coating) indicates single-layer coating. Each
Canon FD lens has an easy to hold diamond-studded
rubber focusing grip and is supplied with a leather
carrying case. In addition, most lenses have either a
built-in or special bayonet-mounting lens hood. The
latter can be easily stored on the lens in the reversed
position. To produce pictures of the highest quality,
always use Canon interchangeable lenses with your
Canon EF.
