by Canon and are now protected by U. S. patents. Canon has pioneered in thedevelopment of high speed wide angle lenses, opening new fields of photographic versatility to the serious photographer. For the first time, one canshoot anything that can be seen, with Canon. Now any focal length, 35mm
through 50mm, can be used as a standard high speed lens with Canon andCanon-type cameras. Note that the Canon 25mm f:3.5, 28mm f:2.8, 35mm
f: 1.8 and 50mm f: 1.2 are the fastest, professional quality lenses in the world-exclusively Canon's.
