The "QL" stands for "Quick Loading," which made film loading more efficient�a significant advancement at the time. The accompanying Canon Lens FL 50mm f/1.4 was a high-performance standard lens, renowned for its sharpness and low-light capabilities. Its f/1.4 aperture offers excellent depth-of-field control and allows for stunning bokeh effects in photography. The lens features "Made in Japan" craftsmanship, which adds to its collectability and performance. Serial number: 161913.
