Canon 35mm/1.5 on ebay .... close to $600 already!

Since it was designed to be used without a hood, that is how I use it.

I don't know, mine was flaring badly.
Now, maybe the recessed front element made the hood redundant, but I assumed that with that sensibility to strong lights, I needed to use the hood (W-50 IIRC)

Some Canon lenses can get internal haze build-up over the years. Have you checked your lens?

Raid,

You are right to mention haze.
Mine had a tiny bit of haze but I sent it for a cleaning, and it was clear when I used it.

Michael,
Same thing happened to me; I was hopeful that some cleaning would imporve things.

The highest bid is today at: US $608.00

I'm processing eight new B&W rolls later today, mainly with the 35mm F1.5 maybe I will see some more flare artifacts? I occasionally also got some flare with the 35mm F2 Canon. I do have perfectly clear glass in the 35mm F1.5. Lights within the frame area do tend to "bloom" but as I said, I kind of like that particular effect. Also the paper-thin DOF up close in quite interesting.

I'm keeping mine.

Yes. The Canon 35/2 behaves similarly, BTW.

gee, that's pretty

I like it, too.

I think that Roland means the opposite .... an ugly bokeh. Right?

It is now at: US $731.00, and there over 5 hours left to go.

I’m sure that the lens being featured on here has helped to push the price up.

Mike: We have an open market where such a thing is possible. Maybe this lens is worth over $700 and maybe it is not worth as much.

Tom,

Whoever will buy the lens will appreciate seeing some of these racy [or racing] photos that you have taken. Show us...

I saw the last "Canon 35/1.5 on eBay" thread and decided to get one of these for myself. I found one here in Japan still new in the box, and it cost a lot less than $731...

 

[raid]

How much did you pay for the lens in Japan?

 

[robklurfield]

$906.00 with about an hour left. Wow. I'll stick with my Canon 35/2.

 

[raid]

The price is at $906. Are people getting nuts?
Still 40 minutes left.

 

[raid]

The lens is over $1000 now.
