This specific unit (S\/N: 18506) features a fast, constant aperture that allows for beautiful subject separation and excellent performance in varied lighting conditions. Unlike modern plastic zooms, the FL series is built like a precision instrument, offering a weighted, smooth rotation in both the focus and zoom mechanisms. Because it produces a softer, more organic look than modern \"clinical\" lenses, it is a favorite for portrait photographers and videographers chasing a cinematic aesthetic. Whether you are shooting on a classic Canon FTb or adapting it to a modern mirrorless system, this lens provides the mechanical precision and optical soul that defined Canon’s early professional success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/b\u003e Good condition. The lens barrel (S\/N: 18506) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its vintage age. The glass elements are optically clear, free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches. The manual focus and zoom rings are smooth and well-damped. The aperture blades are clean, oil-free, and snap correctly in preset mode. The tripod collar is firm and rotates as intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/b\u003e \"The FL 55-135mm is a lens with a lot of personality. What I love about this S\/N: 18506 is the constant f\/3.5 aperture; most zooms from this era get 'darker' as you zoom in, but this stays bright. It has a beautiful way of rendering skin tones and out-of-focus highlights that you just don't get with modern glass. It feels incredibly solid—like it was carved out of a single block of metal. It’s a rugged, honest piece of Japanese engineering that is perfect for those who want a versatile zoom with a distinct vintage 'bite'.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003eCanon FL 55-135mm f\/3.5 Zoom Lens (S\/N: 18506)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eFront Lens Cap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003eRear Lens Cap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eCamera Type: Lenses\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eLens Mount: Canon FL Mount (Compatible with Canon FD)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eFocal Length: 55-135mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eMaximum Aperture: f\/3.5 (Constant)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003eFocus Type: Manual Focus\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,5,0\"\u003eCategory: 2.
