Canon 135/3.5 (diamond E-P) LTM black lens $75ppd US. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One of the best 135/3.5s ever made, this one focuses to 3.5 feet. User barrel (ok except for the paint wear to the focus and aperture rings). Glass is very clean, a couple of microscopic cleaning marks (barely visible even when viewed from the back end of the lens - and that's a ton of magnification - against a strong light). No haze, fungus or oil on blades. Focusing is smooth, click stop aperture is solid. Interior flat black finish is perfect (this is just as much of a potential flare source as any cleaning mark). RF coupling is accurate. Think of it as an APO Telyt 135/3.4 with 90%+ of the performance at 1/30 of the price. Includes Canon front cap, generic black E-P rear metal cap, 48mm UV, 48-49mm stepup ring, 48mm incident diffuser adapter for use with TTL bodies. Also fits M bodies with the 35/135 adapter ring (which is NOT included at this price). And as an option, or if the lens sells, a mint 48mm Leitz chrome orange filter (for Summicron 90, Canon 50/1.4, Nikkor 85/2, etc) $15 plus postage (~$2).
