About this camera.
A vintage wide-angle prime from Canon's pre-FD era — the Canon FL 35mm f/3.5. Built in the 1960s with premium all-metal construction, this lens has that classic wide-angle character: good contrast, sharp stopped down, and a satisfyingly solid feel. Honest disclosure: the front element has balsam separation and slight haze, which can introduce flare in backlit situations but generally produces unique, characterful results.
