Canon EF - Manual (Page 97)

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
O
15mm full frame fish-eye which "sees” a full 180 to
O
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
O
super-wide-angle taking in 104 of view without
rectilinear distortion, a 55mm f/1.2 AL lens em­
ploying an aspherical element to completely elimi­
nate flare, and three zoom lenses, one equipped with
macro focusing (the 35-70mm lensl. The FL and
manual series, although not designed for AE photog­
raphy, 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-F 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.
