Cool, do the lenses look like a 50mm1.2 and the 28mm?

Nice. The photographer is Don Hunstein. And I marvel at the piano playing of Glenn Gould.

I would agree.

That looks like the 50/1.2 with the original vented hood. Not sure about the other lens, but it could be the Canon 35/1.8, it has a black nose like the one in the video, you get a good look at it about one minute, 28 seconds mark. I checked Peter K's book of Canon RF lenses, and it appears to me that the various versions of the Canon 28/2.8 and 28/3.5 were all chrome, no black noses.

Canon 35/1.8 on an L1. This camera even has an RFF soft release.

The irascible Gould. A Canadian masterpiece and great genius. Thanks for the clip, "Tea, . . . and at least five minutes."

Love the Photographer, the Canon L1, and the Pianist. My introduction to his music was The Well Tempered Clavier, Book 1. He played Bach as living, breathing, organic music. Like he meant it.

He was ... interesting, I'll say that for him 🙂

I do remember listening to the later version of Goldberg and preferring the earlier one. I should compare them again and see if I still feel that way.

As for Canon LTMs, I've had a few. I'd love to get a nice P to put my 50/1.4 on sometime 😀

For those interested, the clip is from the National Film Board's short film, Glen Gould - on the record, which shows him attending a recording session at Columbia Records. Their followup film, Glen - Gould - Off The Record, is equally fascinating.

I love Don Hunstein's album covers for Columbia, I also own many. Glenn Gould is love or loathe. For me, he makes Bach into living, breathing music. He plays Bach like he means it.
