Canon FD 85 mm f/1.2 L (aspherical), converted by G.L Optics into a cine prime with PL mount and T1.3 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 330° focus rotation allows precise focus pulls; the 95 mm front diameter matches standard matte box clamp-on adapters.
