Does anyone know if the fd 35mm f2 (app goes to 16 not 22 as mentioned in another thread) with S.S.C written in red letters on the front is considered "magic" like the chrome nose version? Any real optical difference?

Canon 100mm f2.0 FD for sale

sam_rides_a_mtb — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 14:07:15 +0000

I have a Canon FD 100mm f2.0 for sale. Everything about the lens in near perfect except for the front element which has a very subtle bit of fungus. I have had this lens for over 3 years and I can tell you the fungus has not grown in that time, if anything, it appears to be less visible than when I first purchased it. The focus ring is smooth and the aperture ring is nice a snappy.

Have used this for both photos and videos on the GH1 and GH2 with gorgeous results!

I use this with the Canon BT-52 lens hood (designed specifically for this lens) and get nice contrasty images (even without it). Here are two sample images taken at f2 without the hood (option to view the originals in full res): http://www.flickr.com/photos/sol_rider/4856193665/sizes/l/in/set-72157624687046230/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/sol_rider/4856193013/sizes/l/in/set-72157624687046230/

I did some tests taking photos with the lens with a macro extension tube attached at various apertures just to see if I could get any sign of image degradation to show up because of the fungus: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sol_rider/4179552147/in/set-72157624687204126 and at the closest focusing distance with macro tube: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sol_rider/4179548171/in/set-72157624687204126/ You can be the judge.

Took it to a couple camera shops that do lens repairs and they said being that it is only on the front element and all the others look flawless, that I should not worry about it as it will have little to no affect of image quality.

Anyways, I love this lens, I just need to cut back my lens collection since I travel and move a lot. Offer me a fair price and I will include a brand new BT-52 lens hood.

Would prefer to ship within the US, though will ship internationally. Paypal accepted.

Might go to eBay, though figured I would offer it here first.

Also, have a couple other fast lenses on eBay currently with bidding starting at just $1: http://www.ebay.com/sch/sjsielen/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

For Sale: Canon FD Prime & Zoom Lens Package w/ ND Filter Set - Complete & Color Matched

cowpunk52 — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:26:12 +0000

I'm selling a complete set of Canon FD Prime Lens + 1 constant aperture zoom with a screw-on ND filter set. I spent several months putting this lens set together, making sure all the samples matched as closely as possible with no visible color shift between them. This is a perfect budget manual focus lens package to go with a GH2, AF100, FS100 or NEX camera. The glass is pristine and they all function flawlessly. Each lens is also already geared with zip tie focus gears and are ready for follow-focus attachment and operation.

I just finished shooting a feature film with these lenses on a GH2 with the Quantum 9b settings created by @driftwood and the images came out f-ing amazing. This is a truly beautiful set of very high quality glass. However, I'm purchasing a C300 package now, and these will not be adaptable to that camera... so they must go, sadly. I hand-picked each of these lenses, and love them all. I'm 100% certain you will, too!

The lenses are as follows:

20mm f2.8 FDn

28mm f2 FDn

35mm f2 FDn

50mm f1.4 SSC

85mm f1.8 SSC

135mm f2 FDn

35-105mm f3.5 FDn

The ND filter set includes:

Tiffen 72mm ND 0.6

Tiffen 72mm ND 0.9

Tiffen 72mm ND 1.2

Tiffen 62mm ND 1.2

B+W 62mm ND 1.8

Step-Up Rings: 52-72, 55-72, 52-62, 55-62, 46-52

I'll sell the complete package for $1500, including shipping to CONUS. Payment is made by Paypal as a gift, or purchase payment with fees added. I would prefer not to separate, but if you want just one or two items, send me a PM with an offer.

I also have a Novoflex m4/3 to Canon FD adapter that I will add for an additional $100 if you want it.

Complete package will be shipped in a foam cut-out hard case. Two filter slings are included for the ND set.
