At Vintage Glass, we were fortunate enough to acquire a set of original Canon K35s in mint condition, including the 18mm T1.5, which was manufactured between 1979 and 1980 and replaced the first-generation 18mm 2.8.
We've also complemented the collection with Canon FD lenses with a very similar look and flare, covering full-frame formats from 14mm to 300mm focal lengths. This includes a 100mm Macro lens and a 70-200mm Zoom lens.
We even included a 45mm lens, also with a very similar look, to bridge the gap between the 35mm and 55mm.
Canon is perhaps the most well-known and popular Japanese still camera brand in the world, competing with its eternal rival, Nikon.
Throughout its history, Canon has made many contributions to the development of lenses and cameras. In 1961, they launched an f0.95 lens for their viewfinder cameras, the fastest lens at the time.
Canon was also a pioneer in introducing the ultrasonic autofocus system, which would be copied by almost all other companies, and the image stabilization system in their lenses.
In 2002, Canon introduced the EOS-1Ds, the first camera successfully marketed with a full-frame sensor.
On the other hand, starting in 1956, Canon developed 8mm format film cameras, and a couple of decades later, they launched a zoom lens and a collection of film lenses, the K35, receiving recognition from the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in the area of science and technology.
