not so sad a story. the p is still mostly ok - just a bit of character added. and a lower resale value of course.
i like the 50 on mine also. i'm just getting a canon 35 (2.8)and while the framelines are near impossible to see with glasses, i'm gonna give it a try.
my second p is in the mail also, it looks to be in much nicer shape than my first. i also have a user 7.
at this moment i have no idea how i will configure it all, what lens with what body etc.
i too am quite satisfied with the canon lenses. i do not seek photographic perfection in the materials i use, just comfort & joy and a reasonable image quality.
i am a bit neurotic about having the 'correct' shade on a particular lens. (you may have noticed)
so, was it the exact same lens you once had? that's a bit serendipitous eh?

It took me quite a while, and several auctions, to figure that out. That's how I ended up with two Canon hoods and two Rolleiflex hoods and extra Bay I filters and... it goes on...

what's truly foolish, is i thought i HAD figured it out.
i normally know better, i'm from brooklyn for cryin' out loud.
but i got caught up, wanting that hood, and the rest is history.

Take another look at that hood...the slip-on adapter ring is missing...you didn't miss anything! From Brooklyn to Edmonton?

good eye victor!
but it would still screw onto the lens directly i would think.
that reminds me, i need to find another series 6 yellow filter.
yeah, i was born in brooklyn but raised in queens, typical lower middle class wop.
edmonton? well, my first wife was from here and while we have moved on from each other i stuck around.

Nope: lens threads are smaller and finer pitch. One of the ideas behind series size hoods is that one hood will fit more than one adapter ring, and therefore fit other lenses you may own. It works the other way around as well. That's how I get a shade and filters on an old Balda folder.
