Canon FD 20 mm f/2.8, converted by G.L Optics into a cine prime with PL mount and T2.9 speed. It has a uniform 95 mm front diameter, 77 mm filter thread, and covers the full-frame 24 × 36 mm format.
The rehousing unifies focus and iris gear positions across the set and adds an iris with more blades for softer bokeh. The 180° focus rotation allows precise focus pulls; the 95 mm front diameter matches standard matte box clamp-on adapters.
