When a friend of mine got to know that I am compiling some information on the old
Canon FL and FD lenses, he said I was wasting my time, because no one cares about
those manual focus cameras or lenses anymore in the Internet. I told him I did it
because just like what he had commented - no one cares and secondly, just because
the medium of Internet, we have now a new medium to promote photography. But photography
is not all about technology and autofocus, right ? And what a high price tag we have
to pay for the 'technologies- just for an instance, the multi-features Command Back
MF-28 designed specifically for Nikon F5 costs twice the price we paid for a solid
Nikon F3 bodies during the eighties. Recently, Canon's newly introduced dedicated
EX550 AF flash designed for the amazing eye-controlled EOS-3 worth the equivalent
of two units of the top-of-the-line New F-1 bodies of the eighties. Hey, before the
invention of A-TTL flash, we still take pictures with flash and the lens we used
still can focus, right ? More ridiculous was recently I received a sales promotional
leaflet from a local Leica distributor, offering a 100mm macro lens for RM36,000
! (US1-00=RM3.80).
If you can differentiate a 35mm
slide that tells it was taken with a Leica, I will salute you and next ask yourself,
how many 18" enlargement did you do in a year ? But do we really need such sophistication
to interpret the vision or imagination ?
Photography, for most of the time, are capturing a moment of truth or interpreting
how we visualize things, or events happened in front of our eyes. To certain extend,
technologies helps to realize imagination and make way easier or simplify an image
capture process.

To be able to use your camera as a
tool to produce realistic pictures, it is important that you thoroughly know the
latest facts about your camera and obtain basic knowledge about interchangeable lenses.
With such tools as a camera, a lens and film, it is possible in a split second to
produce a masterpiece that will be praised by many people something that deserves
to go no further than the wastebasket. In creating a worthy photographic production,
you will soon become aware that this process involves factors other than the camera
and the lens. To capture the emotion or the feeling of the subject, the photographer's
eye must determine the precise moment to take the picture. Another factor is, of
course, chance or coincidence. However, without being constantly alert and active,
this chance or coincidence will not be apparent. To find the precise moment to take
the picture, it is necessary to train your own eye to recognize the proper instant.
Equipped with the latest camera, this is your opportunity to take the fullest advantage
of the interchangeable lens controlled by your eye and your mind to compose and to
create many excellent examples of photographic art. Let's consider for a moment which
is more advanced, the human eye or the lens. We naturally demand more of the lens
than the human eye and our expectations have not been disappointed. Thus, the edge
could be on the side of the lens, but the human eye, on the other hand, is controlled
by a God-given brain. The exploitation of this brain opens up limitless possibilities.
The lens, therefore, is only the eye of the camera controlled by the human mind.
In other words, the two play the role of the ruler and the ruled. Although the naked
eye has a broad vision, at times it has a very narrow angle. Moreover, the overall
vision of the human eye covers a super-wide-angle of nearly 180° up and down,
left and right. Even when looking around aimlessly, it is still possible to get super-wide-angle
vision. Our eyes have qualities ranging from long telephoto to super-wide-angle,
and with the help of the brain their capacity is almost limitless.

For owners of a Canon single-lens reflex
camera they no longer have to dream about using a 1000mm ultra-long-telephoto lens
or, if necessary an ultra-long-telephoto lens of greater focal length. In fact, Canon
has the longest telephoto lens in the world, the ultra-long-telephoto 5200mm, for
a single-lens reflex camera. Because of the single-lens reflex design, not only can
you see the field of view, but there is also no problem of parallax (difference between
finder view and that of the picture-taking lens). You can also see the composition,
lighting, and precise moment to take the picture. Moreover, you can fit almost any
lens and focus through the pentaprism finder. It is truly an ideal design. Space
for the movable mirror is absolutely necessary in this type of camera. This is a
problem peculiar to the single-lens reflex and is not easy to solve. Hence, at the
beginning it was difficult to attach super wide-angle lenses. But Canon's never-say-die
lense designers soon overcame this limitation by successfully designing a retrofocus
super-wide-angle lens. The retrofocus wide-angle lens, whose entire structure is
in front of the mirror, is a wide-angle lens that does not interfere with the action
of the mirror. Although the lens itself is sticking out in front of the camera, the
focal length is no different from the short focal point of the ordinary wide-angle
lens. The lens is a special design, an inverted telephoto.
While the extent of the lens performance is of interest, as far as Canon products
are concerned, they equal the superb performance of the general type. Moreover they
have the added advantage of transmitting larger quantity of the marginal light beams.
Among the outstanding Canon lenses are the super-wide-angle FL 28mm F 3.5 and the
world's first retrofocus FL 19mm F 3.5R lens enabling viewfinder focusing. It is,
of course, disadvantageous for the single-lens reflex camera to have even a protruding
wide-angle lens. On the other hand, however, it must be remembered that the single-lens
reflex has the unique advantage of being able to provide through-the-lens focusing.
Furthermore, the super-wide-angle lens under 20mm, as a natural result of having
a short focal length, also possesses a large depth of field. This depth of field
could be the same for a retrofocus design as for the standard design in the same
focal length. Some wide-angle lenses of the standard design can be used on a single-lens
reflex with any viewing or mirror interference problem. However, the mirror interference
problem would exist if a standard designed 19mm lens, with a protruding rear section,
were used on a camera. By lifting up the mirror and locking it up, as is possible
with the Canon FT QL, FX and FP cameras, an auxiliary viewfinder would solve the
viewing problem. It was on this theory that the Canon FL 19mm F 3.5 lens was designed.
At the present time, there are more than 20 interchangeable lenses, from the 19rnm
super-wide-angle to the 1000mm ultra-long-telephoto lenses and the zoom and macro
lenses, which can be used for the Canon FT QL, Pellix QL and FX cameras to fill completely
all needs.
Universally acclaimed super-large aperture standard lenses.
50mm F 0.95 lens on the Canon 7S FL 55mm F 1.2 lens on the Canon FT QL
Canon Has Lenses for All Purposes
There are more than 20 different varieties of lenses by Canon ranging from the 19mm super-wide-angle to the 1000mm ultra-long-telephoto. All, however, are not for general use. As a matter of fact, there are so many that the question of selection becomes a problem.^ In order to differentiate between these lenses, it is convenient to classify the 19mm and 28mm as super-wide-angle, the 35mm to 38mm as wide-angle, the 50mm to 58mm as standard, the 85mm to 200mm as telephoto, and the 300mm and over as long-telephoto. Foremost among these classes are the zoom types which are not so popular that they can be considered as general lenses. While there is necessity for compromise regarding their aperture, they do fulfill the long felt desire for a lens with qualities equivalent to a number of lenses. Canon's zoom lenses possess that quality. The zoom is especially -effective for press or record coverage of sporting events where the objects are constantly moving, or for stage photography where the photographer's location remains unchanged but where different views are desired.
Then there is the macro lens for close-ups. The ordinary lens has limited helicoid length, but with the use of an extension tube or bellows it is possible to shoot close-ups with the prime optics. The Canon FL 50mm F 3.5 Macro type standard lens is specially designed for close-ups with high resolving power, high contrast and good color balance. It can be used between infinity to 0.5X close-ups by itself, and with the joint use of a life-size adapter it is possible to shoot 0.5X to life-size (1:1) pictures. The lens also incorporates effective aperture compensation mechanism (the f-number naturally changes with close-up photography). Now we will talk about the large aperture FL 55mm F 1.2 and FL 58mm F 1.2 standard lenses. The appearance of these marvelous lenses followed on the heels of the development by Canon's superior technology of the world-famous super-large aperture 50mm F 0.951ens for Canon 7 and 7S use. Another notable product is the thin type wide-angle lens FLP 38mm F 2.8, which grew out of the idea of utilizing a wide-angle lens to enhance the stationary mirror system of the Pellix QL. Although not directly related to interchangeable camera lenses, yet another product of distinction is the Canon E lens specially used for high quality enlargement purposes. The accomplishments of outstanding cameras and lenses should naturally be crowned by the use of an equally outstanding enlarging lens.

Through The-Lens Photometry of FT
QL Through-The-Lens-AN D-Mirror Photometry of Pellix QL |
Let's examine the relationship between the through-the-lens exposure meter structure in the FT QL and Pellix QL and the interchangeable lenses. The greatest drawback in the latest type of exposure meter, despite the fact that it was developed to the point of a built-in mechanism synchronized with the shutter and diaphragm, occurs during the changing of lenses. These include the problems of disagreement between the incoming light angle of the exposure meter and the angle of view of the lens and the change in the f-number of the lens when photographic conditions are altered (such as for close-ups), and the effect of an insufficient quantity of marginal light when opening the super-wide-angle lens to maximum aperture. For the same reason that the ground glass focusing screen of the single-lens reflex camera was able to have the field of view of the viewfinder exactly the same as that which would appear on the film, the through-the-lens exposure meter design was able to apply the single-lens reflex principle to the incoming light angle of the meter. With the use of this single-lens reflex photometry system it is possible to automate the change in the f-number under special lighting conditions to compensate for the exposure factors of filters. If the through-the-lens exposure meter is to be considered as an adoption of the single-lens reflex principle, it is at the same time an ideal exposure meter for all interchangeable lenses.
Technical Data for Canon FL Interchangeable Lenses and Lens Mounts Ever since its establishment some 30 years ago, Canon Camera Company has been mainly manufacturing precision, high quality 35mm cameras. Canon also has the same history and achievements in the field of lenses. For example, in the field of interchangeable lenses for rangefinder type focal plane shutter cameras, Canon is supplying a series of substantial lenses including the 50mrn F 0.95 standard 1ens which broke through the f/l barrier. This lens was designed based on Canon's superior and unique optical theory. Furthermore, Canon has over 20 different types of lenses available, to meet all photographic needs for Canon FTQL and single-lens reflex focal plane shutter cameras, from the super-wide-angle 19mm lens to the ultra-long-telephoto 5200mm lens.

F 3.5
This Canon lens has a very short length of only 41mm and was designed for easy manipulation,
small size and light weight. There is no loss in the quantity of marginal light because
of the large front lens element and spherical aberration and astigmatism are extremely
well compensated. This lens, which is an intermediate between the 19mm and 35mm lenses,
does not have an extreme perspective and is very handy for taking pictures of buildings
or for indoor shots where space is limited.

FL 55mm F 1.2
This lens has one of the highest lens speeds of any of the standard lenses used in
single-lens reflex cameras, together with the FL 58mm F1.2 which is already on the
market. The lens, belonging to the improved Gauss type, was developed by Canon to
complete the series of lenses with higher resolving power and higher contrast. Utilization
of four high-index glasses of a new type, together with a new design and positioning
of the optical system, has completely eliminated high curvature of field and spherical
aberration, resulting in greater center clarity, unusual for a lens with a maximum
aperture opening of f/1.2.
