Owner's Manual

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 incred~ble
15mm full frame fish-eye which "sees" a full 180 to
a 400mm telephoto having only a 6° angle of view.
Included in this series
is a 28mm wide-angle lens
having a
bright f/2 aperture, a 85mm f/1 .2 AS-
PHERICAL lens employing an aspherical element
to completely eliminate flare, a 100mm f/4 macro
lens focusing
down to 40cm (1-.3 ft.l with the Ex-
tension Tube
FD 50, and a 300mm f/2J3
FLUORITE lens functioning as a 600mm f/5.6 lens
with the Extender 2X. The FL and manual
series, although
not designed for AE photogtaphy ,
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. Two
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-~tudded
rubber focusing grip and is suppl ied with a leather
carrying
case . I n 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.
