Does a 35mm/3.2 exist?

[squinza]

Hello to everybody
While surfing on evilbay I found this:
Canon SERENAR 35mm F3.2 - RARE Leica L39 LTM Mount Lens

Question is, I don't find any reference to this lens around, not even in Peter's book. Any idea?

Yes it does. I had one. And it is a very average lens, both, by reputation, and from my experience.

See Peter Kitchingman's site at the following address. It is the single best source of info on the various Canon RF lenses.

OMG, I am sure I checked Peter's book and didn't find a mention to the f/3.2
:bang::bang:

The 35/3.2 is a double-Gauss design, like the later 35/2.8. The 35/3.5 was a Tessar/Elmar design.

Nice sample, Rover.
But it was only curiosity, I'm definitely a 35mm guy 🙂

I didn't get along very well at all with the Canon 35/2 but I do like the 35/2.8 quite a bit. There are so many good options for the 35mm focal length, hard to go wrong if you decide to do some "exploring."
