For Sale Canon 100mm f/3.5 lens, in Leica thread mount

[Terrence Brennan]

I have a Canon 100mm f/3.5 lens for sale, in Leica thread mount. The lens is clean, with no fungus, and just a few minor scratches. Focus and aperture movement are smooth.

I am selling this lens because it isn't a good fit for me. I bought it from another APUGger in October 2022, as I wanted a lens with a bit more "reach" than the 75mm Voigtlander lens I have. I found it difficult to use, as it has a smaller diameter than my 75mm lens, although it is about the same length, and I have big clumsy hands. Also, I wear eyeglasses, and the viewfinder is a bit of a challenge to view through. And, the f/stops are not "click" f/stops, which I prefer, as those big clumsy hands of mine could all-too easily brush against the aperture ring and change f/5.6 to f/22 .

I am asking the $140.00, in US Dollars, that I payed for the lens in October, plus actual shipping cost by your choice of carrier, from Ottawa, Ontario; payment by PayPal. The price includes the Canon metal lens cap, the Canon rear cap, a parallex corrected viewfinder, and a nifty leather case.

This is a fantastic lens. Small, light, and super sharp wide open with good out of focus rendering. It is a heliar design right? Someone should buy this.

I'm interested. No haze or cleaning marks? And would you know roughly how much might postage be to New Jersey USA?
Thanks-Marty
