Canon f1.8 Summicron !!!! What is this ?

[CanonRFinder]

Will you please elaborate this ?
Canon did produce a 50mm f1.8 w/M39 mount as well as many others to fit their own range of rangefinder cameras. Of course, none of them was labeled Summicron...

Sorry should have said that Canon NEVER produced a lens marked as so but did produce the 50mm f/1.8 and many other M39 lenses marked with either Seiki Kogaku/Serenar/Canon Lens.

Link works for me. And it's funny that they're asking for 750 euros for that, when it's pretty obvious it's an aftermarket paint job on the front. Sure Canon's LTM lens would fit leica screw mount bodies, but I don't think they would ever try to claim to be a different brand.

IF the engraving was dated to be from the 60s or so, then it was more likely done by a counterfeiter trying to resell the 'affordable' canon lens at a Leitz price.

But as far as LeicaShop goes... it's not worth any more than what a Canon 50/1.8 Serenar would be in fair user grade shape.
