Capture Timeless Character: The Canon FD SSC Prime Lens Set (TLS Rehoused) – Available for Hire in London
For cinematographers, producers, and directors in London seeking to break away from the clinical sharpness of modern optics, 247kit.tv offers the Canon FD SSC Prime Lens Set for hire. This is your key to unlocking the authentic, warm, and characterful aesthetic of 1970s and 80s cinema. Expertly rehoused by True Lens Service (TLS), this set masterfully combines the soul of vintage glass with the robust reliability required by today’s professional film sets.
The Iconic Look of a Golden Era
The Canon FD lenses, featuring the famous Super Spectra Coating (S.S.C.), are celebrated for their unique and highly desirable optical qualities. They deliver a beautifully soft and flattering image, exceptional organic lens flares, and a gentle focus roll-off that evokes a timeless, nostalgic feel. Often compared to the legendary Canon K35s, the FDs offer a similar warm look and pleasing bokeh, making them a favourite for filmmakers wanting to add a distinct personality to their visuals without the K35 price tag.
Our Standard 5-Lens Set Includes:
20mm T2.9
24mm T1.5
35mm T2.1
55mm T1.3
85mm T1.3
Professionally Rehoused for Modern Workflows
While the glass is pure vintage, the mechanics are state-of-the-art. The TLS rehousing provides a durable, cinema-standard housing with a consistent 110mm front diameter and uniform gear positions for focus and iris across the set. This ensures seamless integration with modern camera builds, professional follow focus units, and matte boxes, guaranteeing efficiency and reliability on your London-based shoot.
Expand Your Creative Palette: Optional FD-X Lenses
To offer even greater flexibility and creative choice, we provide the following Canon FD-X lenses for hire, available individually to supplement the core set:
18mm FD-X T1.6: Go wider for dramatic establishing shots or immersive perspectives without sacrificing crucial low-light capability.
35mm FD-X T1.5: A faster, more expressive version of the standard 35mm, perfect for achieving an even shallower depth of field and enhanced bokeh.
135mm T2.1: A stunning telephoto option for beautiful portraiture, elegant compression, and capturing intimate details with classic character.
Ideal for feature films, music videos, high-end commercials, and documentaries, the Canon FD SSC Prime set will give your project a unique visual signature that truly stands out.
