200/3.5 Canon FL
The 200/3.5 Canon FL was Canon's fast long lens. Instead of an auto/manual switch, it has a button on
the side to stop the lens down, which opens it back up when you release it. There are two versions of
this lens. Canon shows a picture of a type 1 lens on their museum site, which is a photo of the same
style lens shown in their August 1971 dealer catalog. It appears not to have a built in shade. The
second version was released in May 1966, and has a built in shade.
