canon kit is complete!

[back alley]

canon 7 body…35/2.8…50/1.5…85/2
all chrome, all in pretty good shape, all heavy despite being almost tiny!

ironically, i'm having some shoulder problems and i find it hard to lift the camera with lens to my eye.

will have to wait for some nicer weather to venture out and do some rf shooting.

Joe, how about the 19mm f3.5? the one that's in LTM and RF-coupled?

3 lens kit this time round…decided not to even go for the 28.

ah...pillar of discipline and self control....

yeah, that's me...

sounds great Joe. Now for the important question: which bag?

 

[FrankS]

But the 28, either one, is Schweeet.

 

[Wayne R. Scott]

I think the Canon P is lighter than the 7.

I have a similar Canon RF kit - Canon P, 135/3.5 Nikkor (I know, not Canon, and rarely used but quite nice), 90/4 Elmar (Also not Canon, but I really like it, and it's way smaller than the 85/2), 50/1.5, and 35/2.8 - just recently completed by the acquisition of latter lens. Pretty much covers my needs, and makes a great travel kit minus the 135. The 50/1.5 is a really special lens to my eyes.

Take care, Joe. I love the 85mm, but don't carry it around unless I know I need it and am going to use it. Gotta start using my own Canon 50 sonnar again --- great lens. Doesn't have the flare resistance of the Zeiss, and lacks the wackiness of the Jupiter 3, but i find it has the least focus drift, and it's a great standard lens. i've never had the Canon RF bodies, so don't know their weight, but it's really only the 85mm that's crazy heavy.

the 85 is smaller than i remembered but also heavier than i remembered…

while i do have adapters for ltm, m and minolta mount lenses i doubt that i wll use them on the fujis much at all.
i much prefer the fuji af lenses on the fuji bodies.
i wanted to have both a slr and a rangefinder for a film experience.

Nice kit. I like my 50/1.5 a lot too. I've been shooting a 35/1.8 for years, but just got the 38/2.0 to compare. It's supposed to be better, now I'll find out.

I have been putting together a 3 lens Canon kit and have a 35/1.8, 50/1.4 and a 100/3.5. Unfortunately the 100/3.5 and a second one both have a bad rear lens and are essentially useless. Still on the hunt.

Good for you, Joe. Now get that shoulder loose so you can enjoy your Canon.
