Responding to requests from the market, Canon has standardized the diameter of the front lens of all six FJs prime lenses at 95mm, which enables the same matte box or filters to be used with all of the lenses. Additionally, as with the previous prime series, the positions of the Zoom, Focus and Iris gear rings are unified to allow fast and accurate lens exchanges without changing the position of the control systems. As you would expect, the quality exhibited in the predecessor series of primes carries over in the new FJs series, which exhibit high MTF as well as high resolution and high contrast from the center of the image to its extreme edges. Other features include significantly reduced flare, with an exceptionally sharp, flat picture and virtually no curvature of field; no apparent geometric distortion and dramatically reduced color aberration and minimized focus breathing.
