Too much GAS, time to sell some of these. Have got a Leica M4-P as a starter for M filming, now I'm mostly sticking with M lens.
Will donate 1-3% to AUG forum after the sale.
Here we go:
These Canon ltm are indeed beautifully built, especially the early chrome ones.

1. Canon 35mm f1.8 LTM Rangefinder lens
Asking for 338 US$ shipped (to US/Canada), we split paypal


This is a vintage Leica Thead Mount lens, it was the fastest 35mm rangefinder lens (besides Canon's 35 f1.5). When it was introduced, Leica had not been able to match the speed of f1.8 at 35mm focal length - of course Leica introduced the well known collector lens Summicron 8 elements, at f2 max aperture.
Glasses are clean and clear, fungus and haze free, normal marks which is common for lens with this age - no impact on IQ.
Barrels show normal sign of usage, the focus and aperture turns smoothly.
Hard to notice - but yet it`s there: there are slight seperation (I believe it's seperation but it could be other thing?) on the edge of inner elements, it`s quite slight that would not impact IQ - at least I don`t see that when I used it on Leica M9.


Great user lens. Come with front and rear plastic caps, front one is a Russian Kiev cap.

If you want to check credit, let me know (I sold a few gears on ebay, have good record there)

2. Canon 35mm 2.8 LTM rangefinder lens, early Chrome "EP" version
Asking for 218 US$, shipped (canada/US), split paypal fee

The Canon 35/2.8 was Canon`s direct competition of Leitz Summaron lens, this is the early "EP" Chrome version, great built quality all Chrome, has it`s low contrast high resolution charactor. The size is very compact, it`s defintely perfect match with those early screw mount rangefinder camera, also it`s a performer on digital.
Regards to the "EP" mark there were saying that it`s the from the "military exchange", anyway, great stuff.

This copy I have is haze and fungus free, the aperture and focus turns smoothly, there are light cleaning marks on the glass but it won`t have impact on the image quality. a little paint lost on the inside of lens barrel, see photos.

It comes with front and rear caps, front is Russian metal cap and rear is black plastic cap.
