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)
