I'm pretty sure that the Canon 50/1.5 was a Sonnar copy. In good shape, $325
might have been a pretty good price. They are hard to find.

That would make sense, and assuming the optics are
identical might explain the price differential.
At the same swap meet I also saw a Canon 50/1.5 LTM,
in somewhat less pristine user shape. The owner was
asking $325, which cooled any remaining spark of
interest I might have had.
But, am I correct in thinking that the Canon and the
Nikon are both Sonnar derivatives, and if so, whether
anyone here knows if they are comparable?
