My first posting in this forum.
I recently acquired an old ltm Canon Serenar 3.5/35 mm for my Leica M9. Is there by any chance anyone who can tell me the year of manufacture? Lens serial number is 65672.
The attached shot was taken at closest focussing distance @ f 3,5.

A small size to judge from, but the picture looks great! Sharp and yet very creamy background.

I have one of these lenses. I've had a haze problem with mine but I've been able to clean the front element and then remove the rear element, open the aperture and clean the back of that element, then, of course clean the one that I removed. The haze must be coming from the aperture mechanism as this works. I do it every year.
Your example look good to me though, hope you don't have my problem. The bokeh is funky at open apertures but I still like this lens very much. It is small, well built, and easy to adjust both the focus and the F-stops.
I use mine with film cameras:
