300/2.8 Canon FL Fluorite

This lens was introduced as an FL lens three years after the FD mount was introduced. I don't know why this was introduced as an FL instead of an FD lens. It incorporates crystal fluorite elements in it's construction, technology first used in the 300/5.6 FL-F lens five years earlier.
