Canon LTM Show me your Canon RF camera

Canon M39 M39 screw mount bodies/lenses

It's taken me a while to get this kit together, but I think it's pretty much set at this point. L to R:

<EP> marked L1 w/ Serenar 50/1.9 (w/ six-digit serial number!)
<EP> marked Canon 100/3.5
<EP> marked Serenar 35/2.8
P w/ <EP> marked Canon 50/1.5

I regularly use non-Canon lenses on these bodies, and the Canon lenses on other bodies, but I figured I'd keep the group pure for this forum.


 
Glad to see this thread still has legs! I love my Canon rangefinder, I use it as often as I can.

I'm slowly accumulating a collection of Canon glass. Here's my Canon 7 with the 50/1.4 'Japanese Summilux'.

My mistake, I misread your post.

But I see that you and I exchanged comments on this lens back in 2014. Cool. I remember the thread.

Surely eBay can very quickly address the situation? Nothing like helping a friend find happiness.

What can I say.. I am a happy Canon RF camper at the moment :cool:

And for sake of a clean picture I am not showing the plethora of original Canon RF cases, (all) black finders, hoods, caps, filters, auto-ups, flashes and other accessories I own. Everything works like it should and is ready for use.

That is quite a sizeable collection! With many rare accessories too! I bet you must have spent quite some time putting them together. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

My VT has a very similar ding in the bottom plate, maybe related to how users hold the camera when using it with the trigger?

An L1, my rangefinder camera of choice for the summer of 2015. Fitted with a 50/2.0 Nikkor.

Nice set Jim!

May I know if that's is the auto parallax correction view finder on the L1? I thought these were great but sadly, they are not the most popular.

Cheers,
 
Here is my newly acquired Canon P with the 35mm f/2 lens with a Fotasy filter and lens hood (check your favorite auction site for 40mm filter and lens hood) and 50mm f/1.4 lens with contemporary cap and filter.

Is that a Series hood on an Elmar/Elmar copy FED lens, Mike?

The hood was made by a company Mansfield Industries in Chicago as part of the "Raydex Optical Filter Kit" in the late '40's, similar to the Kodak Series. It was sold in a kit with six drop-in filters (Yellow, type A, Red, Green, Blue and Haze). It will fit the Elmar (and clones), as well as the Argus Cintar on the C3 (excluding the Matchmatic).

Mansfield later bought Argus, and also produced several cameras under its own name, the Mansfield Skylark probably being the most notable.
