Canon FD 20mm f/2.8 S.S.C. - Canon FD Mount

The Canon FD 20mm f/2.8 S.S.C. is a vintage ultra-wide-angle lens featuring Super Spectra Coating to minimise flare and ghosting. With a 94-degree diagonal angle of view, it is well-suited for architectural and landscape photography. The lens utilizes a floating element system to maintain sharpness at close focusing distances, a notable technical achievement for its era. Used buyers should inspect the condition of the front element, as its bulbous shape makes it susceptible to scratches. SDS checks the internal helicoid for smooth movement across the entire focus range. The S.S.C. coating should be intact without significant cleaning marks. Additionally, the aperture blades are examined for snappy operation and the absence of oil contamination, ensuring reliable exposure control.
