Description
The Canon FD 17mm f/4 S.S.C. is an ultra-wide angle rectilinear lens for the Canon FD system, introduced in the mid-1970s. Unlike fisheye lenses, it renders straight lines as straight, making it suitable for architecture and landscape photography where distortion needs to be minimized. It featured Canon’s Super Spectra Coating (S.S.C.) for improved contrast and flare control, essential for complex ultra-wide designs. It was a specialized lens appreciated for its dramatic perspective and high build quality.
