El primer lente con auto focus del mundo!!! #Repost @lensclassics ・・・ Ok this one is really odd! I haven’t found much info on it, so here is the text from Canon Camera Museum: This Canon FD 35-70 f4 AF is the world’s first autofocus zoom lens with an autofocus function using Canon’s own SST (Solid State Triangulation) method. The incorporation of this function into the best-selling FD35-70mm f/4 (June 1979) interchangeable lens brought about automation of focusing for SLR cameras. The SST method is a system in which information on the photographed object that enters the sensor through two fixed mirrors is converted into an electric signal and distance is measured by a microcomputer, with focusing performed by moving a distance ring with a motor. The latest fixed imaging device CCD (charge-coupled device) technology is adopted to provide high resolution and a broad dynamic range able to detect low to high luminance, making it less susceptible to the contrast and pattern size of the photographed object and enabling highly precise autofocusing. Also, as the SST method does not have a movable section in the distance measuring mechanism, no vibration or electric noise is caused, which provides high reliability fitting of a high-end SLR camera. Anyone ever tried it? I like to try it on my Sony A7r. Will see if it still works. #canon #cameralenses #lenses #autofocus #photo #photography #rd #fotografía #SLR #focus #interesting
