Canon FD lenses were produced from 1970 through to the late 1980s and are another popular vintage lens option for adding character.
Our set has been rehoused by the highly regarded team at TLS in the UK and has PL mounts, consistent 110mm fronts and standard cine gearing for focus and iris. The modern housings are a pleasure to use for motion photography - something that was never intended for the original mechanical housings.
All lenses cover LF, with an image circle larger than 45mm. For complete image circle and sensor coverage information, including a video showing falloff character, see our article here.
