A Look at One of Canon's Most Legendary Lenses

Before Canon's RF mount, there was the EF mount, and before the EF mount, there was the FD mount. The FD mount is over 50 years old, but it had some groundbreaking lenses, and with the ability to adapt them to mirrorless lenses, we are seeing a real resurgence in popularity. This awesome video review takes a look at one of the most legendary FD lenses, the 55mm f/1.2 S.S.C. Aspherical.

Coming to you from Kai W, this great video review takes a look at the Canon FD 55mm f/1.2 S.S.C. Aspherical lens. First introduced in 1971 with the Canon F-1 was highly desirable, particularly in the days of film, when you could not just pump the ISO up to extreme levels in low-light conditions. Its capabilities go far beyond that, as it gives quite attractive images even by modern standards, and with the manual focus assistance features of modern mirrorless cameras, it is easier to work with than ever. The FD mount had a lot of spectacular lenses in its 16-year run, and if you are looking for something new to invigorate your creativity without breaking the bank, it is worth taking a look at the lineup. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
