Lightshow was that an FL 35 F2.5? I had one for several years and loved it, great build quality, nice colors, and plenty sharp enough. Has to be one of the best values out there too, sometimes they go under 50 bucks.
Yeah I meant to type 35/2.5, Nice to know it's a good one, I paid $20.
Today I picked up a DKL mount Voigtlander Color Skopar 50/2.8
I also picked up a Canon RF 100/3.5 <EP> mark, with case, rear cap, and a 3 piece hood(Series VI 34mm) in mint cond. and it's surgically sharp.
Looks like this(not my pic) http://home.scarlet.be/~sejmw/canon1.jpg
The hood is really cool, looks like it comes apart to add filters into the middle, and a cap for when the hood is reversed and used as a lens cap, it's so cool...
Looks like this but without the set screw: (also not my pic) http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3245/2709873688_083f68b3cc.jpg
EDIT:
added that I forgot to write that it has an <EP> mark.

Cool!
I witnessed some images from this model in a thread about 7 or 8 months ago that were just terrible. But maybe the photog was n00b-ish. Post some sample images in a thread somewhere when you get the time. I would love to see what this lens is like in the hands of someone actually good, like yourself.

Well, right now, I'll say, "Don't bother." It may just be this copy, but it's making the CZ look like a bargain. Everything I've shot from MFD to about 10M is so-so wide open, decent by f/8, but everything over 10M is so soft, I'm wondering if there isn't something wrong with the lens. Maybe it's better on film? I'll send it to you if you want to try it out.
hmm, i've heard good things about the lens, but only from people who only shot them on film and had no real experience with anything that wasn't available in SR mount.
perhaps the internal focusing MD version is better? it has an extra element.

LightShow (James),
The 100mm f3.5 is quite a sharp lens, and it has been in my inventory since the 70's. Much smaller/lighter than the 85mm f1.9 and the 100mm f2, so it makes for part of a nice travel kit with my Canon 7.

Nice shots, I was wondering if the aperture ring has click stops on yours, mine doesn't seem to, seems like the lube has dried and is preventing the detent system(spring and ball?) from working correctly, I'll prob do a relube on it just to be sure, it still works great for a 50+ year old lens.

Most recent purchases have been a mint Canon 135mm f2.0 nFD and 100mm f2.8 SSC FD, but everything in the photo below has been acquired over the last 6 months or so.

Very nice collection of the FD/FDn lenses, which I am a user of also. I will post some of my recent purchases next week...packing up for another assignment in NV for a bit.

I haven't used the Canon FD system since I switched from an entire Canon system with 3 F series Canons including old F1, F1N, and A1 with half a dozen Canon FD and FDn lenses to a Leica R system in 1984.

. If that's the problem, then the close performance is nothing short of miraculous.
