===== UCG Optics Canon FD 24mm T2.9 ===== {{ :lens:3b1d649f71.jpg?300|}} ==== Summary ==== The Canon FD lens series, produced from 1971 to 1989, initially featured SC/SSC variants with advanced Super Spectra Coating technology before evolving into the nFD/FD-L series with refined optical designs. These lenses gained renewed recognition when cinematographers discovered their optical DNA shared striking similarities with the Oscar-winning K35 cine lenses--particularly in their low-contrast rendering and signature purple-orange flare characteristics. While originally engineered for still photography, UCG Optics' modern rehousing solutions have transformed FD lenses into viable cinematic tools. They not only provide a cost-effective alternative to rare K35 optics, but also expand focal length options beyond the K35's traditional range. ==== Tech Specs ==== | Manufacturer |UCG Optics| | Series |Rehoused Prime| | Model |Canon FD| | Focal Length |24mm| | Max Aperture |T2.9| | Min Aperture |-| | Format |FF| | Image Circle |-| | Minimum Focus |7in| | Focus Rotation |294°| | Iris Blades |14 or 16| | Optical Design |-| | Squeeze |none| | Front Diameter |100mm| | Filter Thread |-| | Focus/Zoom Rod |none| | Native Mount |PL| | Data Protocol |none| | Length |117mm| | Weight |0.9kg| | Body Telescope |none| | Body Material |aluminum| | Focus Drive |manual| | Iris Drive |manual| | Zoom Drive |none| ==== History ==== Country of Origin: China \\ Release Date: \\ Launch Price: \\ Design Revisions:\\ ==== Service ==== Service Manual: (Insert link to manual here) \\ \\ Full CLA: **TBD hrs.**\\ \\ ==== Notes ==== ==== Media ====
