Most interesting. Could you supply a pic? Peter is active on the Canon Historical page on Facebook, and I'm sure he (and others) would like to see your ten-bladed 35/2.8.

Here is a picture of mine along with a picture of my chrome one too.
This was the auction I bought it off on ebay from late June
https://www.ebay.com/itm/28486065762...p2047675.l2557
It was not reassembled correctly and the threads needed to be cleaned out and regreased, but it's working for me now, just shot a few frames today with it.
EDIT: I made a post about it on the Facebook group.

I've seen this comment about glasses-wearers and wondered: "How is it hard to see" I don't wear glasses while shooting, but even without, I have to smash my eye right up against the finder. My lens came with an accessory finder in a nice little leather case, but the idea of the P body was not to have to need that. I think I'll make do, as I really like the camera.
I think I'm done buying LTM cameras now. The IIIc, I bought for sentimental reasons: my grandma scrimped and saved and finally bought a used one for my grandpa in the early 50s. That's a good camera, but a real hassle to use. I challenge myself to shoot quickly with it, but everything has to be preset to do that reasonably. I have a whole new respect for press photographers of the 20s-50s that used these cameras.
I figure the Summitar 50/2 will stay on the IIIc and the Canon 35/2.8 will stay on the P. Then maybe add a Zuiko 85/2 for the OM1N at some point? (or just stick with the 135/3.5 I already have)
Here are a couple of shots from the Canon 35/2.8 on my IIIc. Mine is chrome and is not marked Serenar.

The first photo is wonderful!! And I think the combo of the Canon 35/2.8 and the Summitar is close to perfect if you like an old-school look.

This is an excellent and underrated lens. At f5.6-f11 it is indistinguishable from the Ultron 35/2 V2, except the Canon is an actual 35mm lens, unlike the Ultron which gives a noticeably narrower FOV. Mine is a late black and chrome model and has 10 blades. I like the rendering better than the Canon 35/2.

Mine is also the 10 blade aperture version, black and chrome, serial number 32791. I was given this lens, it performs really well, as do all my Canon LTM lenses.

I have the Type 6 version of this lens, from 1961-62, according to Peter Kitchingman's book on Canon RF lenses. According to Kitchingman's book, the Canon 35mm f2.8 had the longest run of any Canon rangefinder lens other than the 50mm f1.8. He does not mention any change in the number of blades over the run, and mine does indeed have 10 aperture blades.

Thanks for turning me on to what a Canon L1 can do. I just got my example last week, and the Canon 50 mm/f2.8 early this week, now shooting the test roll. I love how this Canon 35 mm/f2.8 looks, it delivers nice images. I hope to find myself a nice example. I enjoy how the Canon L1 handles and feels. I look forward to many happy rolls together. And maybe a nice Canon VT Deluxe or a VL-2 in the fleet. Or maybe a 7. My love of Canon RF is beginning.Canon L1. Forgot the film.
