Canon FL 1200mm lens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Canon FL 1200mm f/11 was marketed in June 1972. It was the longest super-telephoto lens in the Canon FL system. For some reasons (may be due to its limited maximum aperture) this lens was not reissued with the Canon FD mount, when it was introduced. So this lens became the longest Canon SLR telephoto lens for years, until huge autofocus Canon EF 1200mm lens was introduced in 1993.

Now this lens is a rare collector's item.
