FD stands for <strong>Full Diaphragm<\/strong> \u2014 aperture fully open during focusing \u2014, but paired with TLS it means something more: Full Frame, super speed lenses with an unmistakable vintage look. Their aspherical glass elements with <strong>Super Spectra Coating (SSC)<\/strong> anti-reflective treatment are the same glass that served as the foundation for the acclaimed Canon K35 lenses, and the 24mm, 55mm, and 85mm focal lengths share optical elements directly with them.<\/p>\n<p>During the rehousing process, TLS replaces the original 8-blade iris with a new <strong>16-blade iris<\/strong>, ensuring a circular, expressive bokeh at any aperture \u2014 combined with the characteristic dual look of these lenses: wide open they are soft, warm, low-contrast and almost creamy on skin tones; stopped down, detail snaps into focus delivering a more modern, contrasty image. The set features a uniform <strong>110mm front diameter<\/strong> across all focal lengths, minimal breathing, close to <strong>300\u00b0 of focus rotation<\/strong> with a non-linear cam system, and focus and iris gears in the same position on every focal length.
