Canon FD Prime Kit

When introduced in 1971, Canon FD system lenses became extremely popular for their automatic aperture stop-down and capacity for automatic exposure. Since then, these lenses have been sought after by cinematographers for their beautiful image, unique coating and construction, which bear striking resemblances to Canon’s K35 cinema lenses, used in films such as Aliens (1986), American Hustle and Amazon’s ‘The Boys’. 

Our kit is cine-modded with standard gear rings, standardised filter threads on an EF mount system and currently includes a 35mm f2.0, 55mm f1.2 and 85mm f1.8.
