HU: Canon 19mm F3.5 SCREWMOUNT

[raid]

I liked the Canon 19mm 3.5 FL so much that I followed up with buying a W-Rokkor 21mm 4.5.

I'm not particularly impressed with any one of the 3 versions of the Canon 19mm, be it the RF, the FL or the Retrofocus FL. It's great for it's time, but it's time is over. On it's own, it's still a good lens, but I find the Voigtlander's Super Wide-Heliar 15mm f/3.5 more fun anytime.

Cheers,

I like to use vintage lenses as I do not find any charming using modern lenses like the CV lenses.

Same here;

I sold off most of my CV lenses, I found them to be without character, a bit too "clinical" for my tastes.

Prefer vintage. Build quality long-term was also a factor, for me.

Have you tried your new W-Rokkor?

Auction ended at US$365 only..

Looks like an incomplete set don't find favor with collectors, even if it's the rarer Type 2 variation.

Hope the new owner will enjoy this unique lens.

Another 19mm. This time the first generation FL version with the Canon lens mount convertor B for LTM. Together with a LTM to M converter in place.

It's a pity the original lens cap and the finders are not part of the package.
