Keep an eye on the classified's. There will shortly be some nice Canon gear and a 50 cron. 😉

Kim:

I'm looking for another Canon Model P in Exc. condition plus a Canon 28/ 3.5 lens.

I have a Canon 28mm/3.5, and I initially bought it with the intention of eventually selling it, but I like it so much that I am keeping it. It is a little gem.
I also love my Rokkor 28mm/2.8 but I am trying to sell it to get an M6 camera.

Got my Canon P for $300 in the US, but still looking for a Canon 28--there seems to be a lot of disagreement about whether the 2.8 or 3.5 Canon is the best. Gandy says the late, BLACK 3.5 is good, but hard (impossible) to find.
Any further advice?

I actually bought the Canon 35 f2 off John a couple of weeks ago ...... nice lens and in beautiful condition!

The 35/2 is a very good lens but gives a slightly more "modern" look to the pics.If you are after an older look, perhaps not the lens but difficult to beat for performance. If the VI-L sells, my 35/2 is going in the classifieds alond with the 50/1.4 and 100/3.5.

Kim, wait on the 100/3.5 for a month...or two...please? 😀

 

[Kim Coxon]

Got to sell the VI-L first. 😉

BTW, did you ever get those bits I sent.

Kim

[Stephanie Brim]

Yup. Thanks. 🙂

Out of curiosity, what size filter threads does the 100 have?

 

[dexdog]

The Canon 100/3.5 takes 34mm threaded filters. Not impossible to find, but like a suitable hood, may take a little shopping around.

 

[Kim Coxon]

Mines already got a couple of B+W filters and Series adapter with hood.

[Stephanie Brim]

G'man got me hood that fits the J-3 and the J-12 so I know it won't be impossible to find something. It'll be a bitch, though. So I can do a size comparison, what's the filter size for the 100/2?

Kim: Oh. Well that makes stuff easier. Last lens I need to make a complete set of lenses to fit the framelines of the P. If it's a Series VI adapter, I have a Series VI hood. 😉

 

[Kim Coxon]

58mm for the 100/2. (A usfull page to bookmark http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/camera/lens/f_lens.html);)

As far as the 100 is concerned, it has proper case, finder (altough there are lines on the P) and there is a Canon series VI screw ring and and independant clamp one. The genuine 100/3.5 hood is somewhat difficult to find although Joe managed it I think. Can't remember who had it from him, I missed it.

[Stephanie Brim]

I'd almost rather be able to use a Series hood because then all my filters would fit. It isn't really necessary, but it sure does save money.

Thanks for the Heads Up - I've got the 50 1.2 on the way. 😀

 

[Bill58]

I was gonna buy a 28/ 3.5 from KEH, but they wanted $50.00 for shipping!!!! I said no deal.

I blinked for moment - until I saw your current location. I wonder if there are any used for sale in Japan?

 

[Bill58]

There may be, but Japanese shops generally don't sell outside the island and shopping trip to Japan to buy a lens could be quite expensive--worse than going to Las Vegas due to the high price of everything.
