The front and rear lens groups in Canon's FD 50mm f1.4 are symmetrical in optical design. Symmetrical lens construction is a feature of standard lenses which is not found in wide-angle or telephoto lenses. Main advantage of this optical design is permitting a large maximum aperture and still maintain excellent color reproduction. Because of these qualities, standard lenses are usually regarded as a starting point from which to build a lens system including wide-angle and telephoto lenses before the advent and popularity of zoom lenses which has slowly replacing the status of 50mm as standard lens.
