Manufacturer description

Since a 35mm lens presents hardly any distortion in the image and perspective is rather natural, many use it as a standard lens. As a short focal length lens, it is excellent for snapshots, too, since it has considerable depth of field. This lens was developed to follow the trend toward a wider use of 35mm lenses. Practicality and economy were emphasized in its design. When travelling with limited baggage, this is the perfect lens to take along. By using computers in its designing stage, coma has been completely compensated so that high contrast is obtained as well as high resolution. Like all the other FD lenses, this lens guarantees superior image quality.
