An

Explanation

of

Aspherical

Elements.

Aspherical
elements
exhibit
several
characteristics
which
are
extremely
difficult
to
achieve
using
conventional
spherical
designs.
Most
importantly,
they
eliminate
image-degrading
spherical
aberration,
which
results
in
reduced
sharpness
and
low
contrast
in
other
formulas.
They
also
minimize
pincushion
and
barrel
distortion
while
reducing
flare.
Moreover,
they
reduce
size
and
weight
while
improving
optical
performance.
They
are
most
effective
in
moderate
focal
length,
wide
aperture,
and
zoom
formulas.
With
so
many
inherent
advantages,
it's
easy
to
see
why
Canon
places
such
emphasis
on
the
use
of
aspherical
lenses
whenever
possible.
Canon's
experience
in
aspherical
lenses
dates
back
to
1971,
when
we
introduced
the
FD
55mm
f/1.2
AL,
the
world's
first
large-aperture
aspherical
lens
designed
specifically
for
SLRs.
This
lens,
extremely
advanced
in
its
time,
far
outperformed
other
f/1.2
SLR
lenses
of
the
era.
Realizing
the
potential
market
for
high-quality
aspherical
lenses,
Canon
devoted
intensive
research
to
the
development
of
exclusive
manufacturing
technologies.
Unique
grinding
and
polishing
methods
were
perfected
early
on.
However,
production
costs
were
very
high
at
first,
primarily
due
to
the
time
required
to
check
each
finished
lens
for
accuracy.
But
a
computerized
checking
method
drastically
reduced
the
amount
of
time
while
increasing
the
reliability
of
the
results.
This
development
enabled
us
to
expand
the
number
of
aspherical
lenses
in
the
FD
line.
Eventually,
5
formulas
were
produced:
14mm
f/2.8L,
20-35mm
f/3.5L,
24mm
f/1.4L,
50mm
f/1.2L,
and
85mm
f/1.2L.
Each
lens
offers
the
fastest
maximum
aperture
available
in
its
focal
length,
while
exceeding
the
optical
performance
of
all
competitors.
In
the
EF
line,
ground
and
polished
aspherical
elements
are
even
more
important.
Both
the
50mm
f/1.0L
and
the
28-80mm
f/2.8-4.0L
use
two
aspherical
surfaces,
while
the
85mm
f/1.2L
shares
its
single
aspheric
optical
formula
with
its
FD
counterpart.
The
new
EF
20-35mm
f/2.8L
is
the
latest
entry
into
this
elite
group.
However,
despite
the
reductions
in
checking
time,
the
ground
and
polished
method
is
limited
to
small
production
runs.
Therefore,
research
continued
on
a
way
to
produce
aspherical
elements
of
sufficient
quality
in
even
less
time.
In
1984,
'
the
big
breakthrough
finally
occurred.
Canon's
optical
designers
developed
a
one-shot
glass
molding
process
that
could
produce
exceptional
quality
in
a
fraction
of
the
time
needed
for
the
ground
and
polished
method.
The
first
lens
to
contain
a
Canon
glass-molded
aspherical
element
was
the
FD
35-105mm
f/3.5-
4.5,
which
is
still
in
the
FD
line.
This
lens
exhibited
many
desirable
characteristics,
but
most
impressively,
when
compared
to
the
previous
FD
35-105,
it
,
reduced
the
weight
from
600
to
344
grams.
Though
not
intended
as
an
L-Series
lens,
the
new
35-105
exceeded
the
optical
performance
of
the
lens
it
replaced,
while
lowering
the
retail
price.
