38/2.8 Canon FL-P

This lens was designed for use on the Pellix, with it's stationary mirror, allowing the lens to protrude further into the camera than any others. Mounting this lens on any other model will cause grief when the mirror collides with the rear of the lens. When mounted on the camera, it is very compact, much like the pancake lenses that were to appear later from Pentax, Olympus, Nikon and even Zeiss.
