Hi Robert,
The finder is important here. It is the original Canon 19mm finder (which is rare) Some people buy the set just to get the Canon finder.

Looks exactly like what I have; The Canon FX original set and original FX finder (I have #11131). The Converter B is necessary to go to 39mm LTM. I use this lens fairly constantly, it is great to use. With a leica M adapter, it works great on everything but a Leica M5. And it won't mount into a Sony Nex.

So this is not the RF model ... it is for the FL mount. The Canon B opens up a whole new line of FL and FD lenses on LTM bodies. Thanks to Mark, I got from him a lens plus adapter.

I bought mine because Al Kaplan recommended it to me. I will never sell this lens.

He may also have recommended it to me. RIP Al.
I love using thsis classic lens. It allows me to skip 21mm-24mm lenses.

As the seller said, with converter B it can be fit to LTM body but not coupling, this makes me giving it up.

I wouldn't worry about the lack of rangefinder coupling with the converter B and the 19mm lens. The depth of field of this lens is enormous and will easily carry you.

Hi Conrad,

Still enjoying your 25mm Finder. 😀

No need for rangefinder coupling, with such a wide lens. Even at F3.5 you can easily guesstimate focus, and depth-of-field is humungeous, so you are covered, if you overestimate and underestimate the distance.

The rangefinder coupled lens is usually 2X-3X the cost of the FL one.

My 19mm lens is same, and it has no RF coupling. I have mever needed the RF coupling with this wide lens.

Good to hear that the 25 finder makes you happy with ！

So I need to reconsider this 19FL again !
