Canon LTM Canon 35/1.5: A Tribute

Canon M39 M39 screw mount bodies/lenses
The radioactivity is news to me. Interesting.
As for the current market value, it is quite high.
I have the Canon 1.5 trio.
 
..having one for sale in europe right now on the auction house..would of course prefer to sell it to someone who actually uses it, so just letting you know here..(hope this is allowed)..username on the auction site psi501..if interested just let me know (preferably via the auction sites messenger system)..best regards, erik..
 
I've been away from the site for a quite a long while now due to my health, but now I'm slowly getting back into shooting my PinUp girls again. 🙂

My f1.5/35 is still broken, it shoots fine but the aperture blades are blocked wide open, does anyone have the name of a good Canon RF lens repair person, outside from DAG, maybe someone closer to or in Florida?

Hi Tom,
I am glad that you are feeling better. The 35/1.5 is a special lens. I would send it to a well known camera repair person. Have you used the services of Don Goldberg or Sherry Krauter?
 
This was on my a7s + canon 35 f1.5 LTM

Those Japanese sellers can ask whatever they want. It started at $1400, then $1300, then $1200, never selling each time. One did sell for $760.
 
Just wanted to keep this thread alive lol

This lens is one of my 3 main daily drivers for film and digital.
There is a certain magical character to it that you can't find on any other lens. The only one that comes close is my other daily driver, the Summicron 40mm lol
And what keeps bringing me back is that often ill be tempted to buy a vintage V4 Summicron 35mm or Summilux. But i see sample images online of those lenses and i realize that this lens performs better wide open than those lenses hahaha. And if you decide to stop down to f2, its nearly perfect in every way. These 2 images were shot wide open at f1.5

Just got this lens on local auction. Before the auction i was originally interested in aqcuiring Nikkor 50mm 1.4 LTM “tokyo”, (currently I’m in sonnar appreciation mode) but got outbid at the last second.

So this lens (last item auctioned) was my “rebound bid”. 😅
Turns out after searching reviews on the web, it’s quite a special lens.
