I?m putting up for sale
my flawless, coated, classic, mfg. in 1952, 35/2.8, 6 lens elements, Type 2/
Rarity 6 (according to Peter K's website) lens for sale. This one is serial
#11068, takes a 34.0mm filter, very compact (approx. 45.0mm high) and comes
with Canon front/ rear caps, and a nice, foam lens pouch/case. 


All functions work
smoothly and perfectly and it is clean w/ no dents, scratches, or gouges on 
the
body w/ no scratches, marks, blemishes or flaws on the glass inside/outside.
There is no fungus, haze or separation inside the lens. There is also
absolutely NO trace of oil on the aperture blades. I paid top
dollar to Collectable Cameras, Phoenix, AZ for it because it was in ?9+ 
?Condition? in 2007 and have used it only a
couple of times.

?

RFF member, Meleica
(Dan), says it has ?high
resolution with moderate contrast? and ?it gives a pleasant smoothness to
images.? Sean Reid said in his test of this and 3 other lenses (including the
Leica Summicron 35/2) on the Epson Rd-1 that, "the low contrast Canon
35/2.8, not surprisingly, held the best range of tonal detail from shadows to
highlights." Another RFF member commented, ?It's a typical 1950's lens, a
little soft wide-open, but sharpens up nicely when stopped-down. It's
especially nice for digital due to its lower contrast.?



You?d be hard- pressed to find a nicer example of this beautiful, all-chrome,
classic lens. 

?

This
not a ?distress? sale. Please no time wasters, tire kickers or low- ballers;
only serious buyers are asked to inquire. I have many buy/ sell/ trade
references and will gladly furnish them upon request. 

?

My price is only $325, shipped FREE
by insured, trackable, EMS postal to you anywhere in the world from So. Korea
in a secure box. I'll take PayPal from a verified account, bank money order,
bank wire transfer or certified check in USD and can furnish many references
upon request. My PayPal ID is ein-ljh at hanmail.net



INSPECTION PERIOD: 3 days- if you feel the lens is not exactly as described ,
you may return it in the same condition and pay return shipping (same as
delivered to you) and all PayPal fees charged to me. You can take a risk and
maybe get one off the?bay for less, but you?ll get no references, ?free 
shipping and NO inspection period.
