85 F2 SERENAR CHROME (48) 35MM RANGEFINDER MANUAL FOCUS TELEPHOTO LENS $72.

It looks like a great buy.

I bet it's a real "dog".

May well be, but if I had the coins, I'd be curious enough to check it out at that price.

Looks like they got in several Canon lenses - wouldn't mind having the money for that 35/2.8 or 50/1.2... ah, well, so it goes 🙂

That 35/2.8 has been there for a while...just letting you know. 😉

I don't have the money either, at least not for that.

 

[Bill58]

Stephanie:

You use the 35mm J-12 w/ the model P w/o any clearance problems?

Bill

 

[Stephanie Brim]

Yes, but anyone will tell you that it's touch and go. The reason that this one works for sure is because I got it from someone who had used it with a P beforehand. 🙂 I'd like to upgrade to the 35/2.8 Canon, but I have other things I need more.

But yeah...anyone who wants to borrow me a Voigt 35 Ultron for my trip to Colorado is welcome. 😛

Now they have a Steinheil 135mm lens for $32.

This is not bad at all.

By the way, the Canon 35mm/2.8 is an underrated lens. I find it very sharp.

Hi Raid,

I read somewhere that the Steinheil focuses closer than other 135's. This true ?

Thanks,

Roland.

Hi Roland,
I sold my 135mm Steinheil a while ago, so I cannot check out its minium focus distance.

Raid

 

[wlewisiii]

5 foot minimum on the one sitting here, same as my Canon 135/3.5.

William

 

[ferider]

Then I think there was also another one (a triplar?), right ?

You like your Steinheil, Will ?

Roland.

 

[wlewisiii]

It's... adequate. Because I have the Canon lens, if I ever remember to get it boxed up and shipped :bang: , it's supposed to go to Wimpler in Belgium as a freebie... 😱 so that should give an idea of my feelings on it.

The 85mm/2.8 Steinheil is a better lens in my opinion.

My wallet's undergoing convulsion therapy after a serious birthday binge. Then all of these things show up (perhaps lots of people are doing their Christm...err... nondominational-nonworking-day shopping early and dumping a lot of gear?)

I do have the chrome Canon 85 f/2. I love it. Would *love* the f/1.5

 

[Stephanie Brim]

The price on the 50/1.2 actually isn't bad, and I did ponder that Steinheil. I love Keh. Great service.

 

[raid]

Well Stephanie, did you get of the bargain lenses ?

Gabriel,
So there is a Canon 85mm/1.5 lens out there? 🙂
Now we have reasons for ebay searches!
