Canon LTM Canon RF 19mm 3.5 with finder and case on ebay

No surprises: it sold for $860 again. I am going for it when it shows up a third time. 🙂

I'm quite sure it will show up at third time !

Since it has a cracked viewfinder outer lens, I would think that should affect the price.
That would be very distracting, to me. It's probably in sharp focus, too.

There is also an FL mpount SLR version of this lens that is designed to be used with the mirror locked up and using an accessory finder. It looks as if its got the same optical arrangement as it has simialr deeply prtruding rear elements. This llens used to go for much less on eBay as Canon SLR mount was not really compatible with any digital cameras. Not sure now that micro 4/3 mounts are available. But I was tempted on a few occasions to buy one and use it on my M mount cameras (Canon Fl/FD mount adaters are available). It could be a cheaper way of getting a nice classic super wide lens.

I have such a lens, Peter. The lens is a super lens.

another 19mm canon on the bay.

I assume that you mean this one, eBay 14057197890. Looks in nice shape, too

but limited to US citizens with no questions possible. This is silly.

I don't really get it...
1 to 2 k$ for a canon 19mm??😱

Aren't we in the Leica SA 21 f/3.4 price range?

but limited to US citizens with no questions possible. This is silly.

Auction gives mailing costs within USA, but it is not clear whether this is a USA-only sale. Also says email with any questions.

 

[Sonnar2]

It says "USA auction". My bid was not accepted. The item don't even appear in the international search.
Plus ebay don't let me ask questions to him because of I'm no American ebay member.
It's the first time this happened to me. Looks like a new ebay "feature"... (SW developers love to create new features, even some no one need....) :-(

 

[dexdog]

Sonnar, thanks for the information. It had not occurred to me that eBay was preventing you from even emailing questions. I have occasionally bought stuff from German eBay-I wonder if I will be allowed to do that anymore.

 

[raid]

Too bad, but you never know. Maybe it is a blessing for you after all.

 

[dexdog]

I just now logged into German Ebay using my USA name and password, and was able to put in a bid on an item. Maybe it is some new feature of American eBay.

I got my 19mm five years ago here in South Africa for the equivalent of US$450. This included the original leather case with finder in it, plus front and rear caps and a UV. I added a Canon B adpter (FL to LTM) plus am LTM to M ring, and it looks stunning on my M3. Performancewise, it compares very well with a 3,4 Super Angulon, although the contrast is a tad less biting and the vignetting is much better. In the words of Sean Reid it is a classic "sunny day lens", at its best in bright light -- with an excellent dynamic range (good for slides). I am veryhappy with it and will never sell...

Try to bid:
"

and if I try to contact I get this:

Great!

I picked up my Canon 19 LTM set around 1975 and have used it on a variety of Leica M mount bodies. Works well on M2, M6, CL, CLE and now using it on a M8. I think of it as one of the golden oldies that I will never part with. I did find it not so good on the M9 and that is one of the reasons that I don't own a M9 yet.

I bought mine for $450 with case and finder, used it on my Leicas for years. Love it, Love it, Love it. I have no reason to want a Super Angulon.
