Canon FD SSC lenses deliver the look of the K-35s—with a slightly smaller cost, with none of the compromise.
Originally built from the 1970s to the late ’80s, Canon FD lenses gained serious attention when filmmakers discovered their close visual match to the legendary Canon K-35s—one of the few vintage cine lenses to cover full-frame. But being stills lenses, FDs weren’t production-ready for cinema—until now.
TLS have expertly rehoused the Canon FD range, transforming them into true cine tools. Our custom circular iris (14–16 blades) delivers smooth, round bokeh at any stop, echoing the classic Canon K-35 aesthetic. With our precision-engineered cam-driven focus system—now standard across the range—these lenses bring modern usability to vintage optics, including original floating element designs.
