Yup, You guys read right! It's the famed Canon 50mm f/1.0 L. This Canon 50mm f/1.0 has a 'UE' date code, meaning that it was manufactured in 1990. Very vintage and for a lens this old there are ABSOLUTELY no damage on the either the body or lens. It was very well taken care off, I was told that I am the second owner when I purchased this lens a year ago from another photographer.

This lens was last sold on eBay for $3,000. eBay link

Now for the pictures of the lens....













If you're a lens collector or if you really need that extra stop then I am asking for $2700 or your best offer.

And how about a price. How much are you asking for it?

Yup, I will do that when it gets slightly darker here in AK....

Updated with price

Would like to see a picture of the rear element too. Also, does it come with all accessories or just the lens, or what? Thanks.

Rear Element, which is also damage free
