Canon produced a beautiful guide to their FD series of lenses called Lens Work. There were '81, '84 and '86 editions. This is the '86 edition. These pages will look best at a resolution of 1024x768 or higher. A high scan resolution (144 DPI) was used in order to preserve the beauty and clarity of the pages.
