Canon's legendary fast FD prime — 55mm f/1.2 aspherical, one of the first aspherical lenses ever.

The Canon FD 55mm f/1.2 S.S.C. Aspherical is one of the most historically significant lenses in photography — one of the first production lenses with an aspherical element. Launched in 1971, it pioneered aspherical lens technology.

Optically distinctive — the aspherical element improved sharpness and contrast at f/1.2 over conventional designs. The f/1.2 at 55mm provided extraordinary speed for its era. The aspherical technology was revolutionary and extremely expensive to produce.

Canon FD mount with S.S.C. multi-coating. The aspherical designation distinguishes it from the standard 55mm f/1.2 — the aspherical version was much more expensive and rarer. One of photography's most important optical innovations.

Available used at luxury to extreme collector prices — the aspherical version is one of the rarest and most collectible Canon lenses. The standard non-aspherical 55mm f/1.2 is much cheaper. For serious lens collectors and photography historians.
