Canon Museum is updated!

see http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/camera/lens/f_lens.html

Nearly every lens now is shown with a picture which makes it more easy to identify. A good thing documenting Canon's awareness to history as a manufacturer of excellent products.

Ah, now I can finally tell that my Canon 50/1.8 is type II, not type III - although mine has 8 aperture blades, not 9 like they say...

Very nice site. They have my favorite p/s camera, the Bell & Howell Autoload 342 with "brace yourselves" FOCUS-Matic!

It's actually a very good camera and the lens is sharp. I still use it for snap shots outside at gatherings. great conversation piece.

Just like Joe's, mine says Canon, not Serenar, but it's really nice to see they take care to their historical production and gather information about it. I wish other companies (Minolta) would do the same 🙁
