This lens with it’s character rich image is an excellent accompaniment to many of our vintage prime lens sets. This was the last lens off Canon’s FD production line back in 1982 and their first ‘super zoom’ with a 6x ratio. The rehousing is a collaboration between Ancient Optics – curators and preservers of legendary glass and GL Optics.
