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 incredible 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.
