This historic vintage wide-angle lens captures sharp, sweeping landscapes and streetscapes with beautiful retro character and smooth depth.
Place an OrderExpand your horizon and embrace a classic wide-angle perspective with the Canon FL 28mm f/3.5, a pioneering vintage prime introduced in December 1966. Famously marking Canon's very first 28mm lens for SLR cameras, this historic piece of glass weighs a solid 240 grams and features an intricate optical design of 7 elements in 7 groups. A 6-blade diaphragm combines with a close-focusing distance of 0.4 meters to deliver sharp, sweeping environmental shots balanced by a distinctively smooth, retro background falloff. Completed by a versatile 58mm filter diameter and an enduring all-metal chassis, it offers a wonderfully tactile and nostalgic way to shoot streetscapes, architecture, and daily life.
With a simple mechanical adapter, this historic piece of glass can easily be mounted onto modern mirrorless camera bodies including Sony E, Canon RF, Leica/Panasonic L, and Leica M mounts.
