TLS Canon FD-X
Prime - Spherical - Full Frame
product details
The Canon FD-X vintage primes, rehoused by TLS (True Lens Services), have become one of the most popular full frame lens sets amongst modern cinematographers. The FD-X lenses are sharp, but with lower contrast than modern primes. They exhibit plenty of vintage character, with beautiful purple and orange flares, as well as unique bokeh and focus falloff.
The full Canon FD and K35 sets are also available as a complementary set that matches very well to the FD-X.

Image Performance
Handling & Adaptability
The inclusion of a single aspheric optical element makes it visually compatible with both the multi-aspheric Leica Summilux-C and the spherical Leica Summicron-C primes. With nine lenses in six groups and apochromatic correction, outstanding resolution and contrast can be achieved all the way to the edge of the frame.
