- Canon FL 1200mm lens
The Canon FL 1200mm f/11 was a super-telephoto lens marketed by Japanese optical manufacturer Canon in June 1972. It was the longest super-telephoto lens in the
Canon FL system. Canon did not release an equivalent lens for theCanon FD mount, and remained the company's longest SLR telephoto lens for many years. It was eventually superseded by the autofocus EF mount 1200mm lens, which was introduced in1993 . Nowadays the original FL 1200mm is a rare and very valuable collector's item.Technical data
