Following on from the FD400mm f/4.5 S.S.C. (Released in October 1975),
this is a new type of compact, lightweight, large-aperture telephoto
lens and is a groundbreaking lens that has overturned the image that
telephoto lenses are large and heavy. It was developed for use by the
press at the Montreal Olympics.
By adopting Canon’s own rear focusing system in which focusing is
performed by only moving the rear lens group back and forth, the lens is
made compact and lightweight despite being a large-aperture super
telephoto lens. It also has excellent operability such as light and
smooth focusing, the overall length of the lens remaining unchanged even
when focusing and being well-balanced when held.
The lens also properly compensates for aberrations and has uniform high
definition throughout the entire frame from close to far distances due
to ideal power distribution achieved by implementing a completely new
optical design technology in the optical system and the appropriate
selection of glass material.
