Jeffery Smith New Orleans, LA http://www.400tx.com -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+jsmith342=cox.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+jsmith342=cox.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of GREG LORENZO Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 8:30 PM To: Leica Users Group LUG; MUGers@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Leica] Maybe OT, Canon Serenar in LTM A frozen package was waiting on the front step for me when I arrived home tonight. Inside was a Canon Serenar 85/2 lens in LTM and Canon, 85 Finder, original front and rear caps and original leather lens case. This is my first Canon lens and with a serial number of 53028 and 'Made in Occupied Japan' engraving I suspect that it is from the early 1950's. Is anyone up on these lenses, as to optical formula, approximate date of manufacture, etc.? I expect it to be a fairly soft focus lens good for portraits of older women. It is -40 here with windchill so taking it out for a few test shots is going to have to wait until Saturday. Regards, Greg _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
