A few images from a 54-year-old Canon lens. I mounted the lens on my modern Canon EOS R mirrorless camera via an adapter.

Canon FD 55mm f1.2 lens from August 1972.

This famous early Canon lens is super fast at f1.2. It’s also not a lens for the faint of heart. It weighs 19 oz (540 grams).

Thanks for stopping by, Chris
