Using the Canon 35mm f/1.5 LTM...

[benny]

Hi Guys,

It's been a while....

Anyway, here are some shots using the Canon 35mm f/1.5 LTM. This lens is one of the faster offering from Canon, but hasn't exactly been a very popular lens and is not often discussed. The fact that it's a M39 mount and focus only to 1m does not help make it any more popular. At one point, it used to be a poor man's Summilux and was the cheapest sub f/1.7 35mm lens on the market. However, recently, prices have crept past the Voigtlander Nokton Classic 35mm f/1.4 to be dethroned as the cheapest f/1.4-f/1.5 35mm lens option.

All images were shot with the Konica Hexar RF and scanned by the lab. Haven't got my scanner set up yet. So the results are actually slightly discounted in the highlights and shadows.

Incidentally, the first image was the only occasion that I managed to get the lens to flare.

The above shows a hint of the shadow details and the highlights possible with this vintage lens. Shot with Fujifilm Superia 200.

Actually that's not true. If you know where to buy, you can pick up about 4 X 35mm f/2.0 for the price of 1 X 35mm f/1.5.

Sure. I'm sure I'll be taking the lens out one of these nights. Let's see how the roll turn up. But as with the way I shoot, don't hold your breadth waiting for it.

Nothing compared to the L brand man. That's nuts and dragging everything else along with it.

Nope. Just that I happened to remember to ask for a scan with these two rolls. Got a load of other negs waiting to be scanned. No time.... No many distractions in the land of the rising yen.
