Canon FD S.S.C. Prime Lens Set, Now Available to Hire at Aimimage
We’re always on the lookout for tools that combine classic optical character with modern usability. Our latest addition is a Canon FD S.S.C. prime lens set, expertly rehoused by True Lens Services to meet the demands of modern filmmaking.
This seven-lens set includes the focal lengths 20mm, 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 55mm, 85mm, and 100mm, providing cinematographers with an incredibly versatile range for narrative, commercial, and documentary work. Additional focal lengths available are 14mm, 45mm, 135mm & 200mm.
Each lens has been carefully rehoused to retain the iconic optical qualities of the Canon FD S.S.C. series while ensuring compatibility with today’s professional cinema cameras.
Why These Lenses Stand Out
The Canon FD S.S.C. primes have long been celebrated for their smooth focus falloff, pleasing bokeh, and reliable colour rendition. Rehoused with modern mechanics, they now offer filmmakers the tactile feel of vintage glass with the convenience of uniform housing and serviceability.
SSC – Super Spectra Coating – Canon’s trade name for their anti-reflective coating technology featured on all their lenses from 1973. Additionally, these lenses incorporate a Floating System which enables shooting at close subject distance with a high degree of field flatness and aberration-correction.
True Lens Services’ rehousing ensures the lenses are robust enough for professional production environments without compromising their legendary optical character. Rehoused with 16 Blade Irises across the set, they ensure consistency and match their K35 cousins well.
With focal lengths spanning from wide to medium telephoto, this set is perfect for a wide variety of shots:
● 20mm: Expansive wide shots or dramatic environmental storytelling.
● 35–55mm: Classic, natural perspectives for dialogue and medium framing.
● 85–100mm: Crisp portraiture and selective focus to isolate subjects beautifully.
We also stock the Canon FD L 14mm and 135mm – turning this set into a 9 lens set with extreme wide and tele coverage.
This versatility makes the set an ideal choice for directors and cinematographers looking for a consistent look across a whole production.
True Lens Services Rehousing – A Game Changer
Rehousing classic lenses is more than a cosmetic upgrade. The lenses have been carefully rehoused and adjusted to ensure they are compatible with modern camera mounts, maintain smooth focus, and perform reliably on set.
The result? A set of lenses that maintains the vintage character cinematographers love, with modern usability built in.
