LEFT: Canon FD 35-70mm f/4 RIGHT: Chinon AF 50mm f/1.7 In it important to point out that these lenses all have focus motor built into the lens just like today’s AF lenses. Chinon also released Chinon AF 35-70mm f/3.5-4.5. The first few were Canon FD 35-70mm f/4 AF (below left) and Chinon AF 50mm f/1.7 (below right). The first wave of interchangeable SLR AF lenses appeared around 1981.
LEFT: Konica C35 AF (1977) RIGHT: Polariod SX-70 Sonar OneStep (1978) The Konica C35 AF used Honeywell’s Visitronic system, while the Polaroid used the sonar technology. The first AF camera was perhaps the Konica C35 AF (1977, left image below) and the first SLR with AF is Polaroid SX-70 Sonar OneStep (1978, right image below). We saw a 1960’s 800mm f/8 2E/1G super telephoto lens here.
