Well-known member
I am selling here a Canon FD 35 f 2.0 chrome nose lens in mint condition.
This is the so much sought after concave front element version and from the serial number it appears that it dates from the beginning of the seventies. By contrast to the newer versions, the older ones have a thorium radiated back element (http://lummukka.com/canonfd35.html) and are much more scarce.
I need not to say much more about this lens. This is considered to be the sharpest FD lens, even wide open. On the GH1 it has an 75mm equivalent field of view, which is great for general purpose shots.
Price: 200 Eur. Don't miss this rare lens in mint condition (apart from some usual barrel wear).

P.S.1: I believe that Andrew Reid from EOSHD did an extensive test of this lens on the GH1 around April 2010, so you can search his blog for some pictures, but I will not link it here :laugh:
P.S.2: More great FD lenses to come, I am clearing my collection of FD glass.

Pictures of the lens.
The last three pictures are shot with the lens on my Canon EOS 550d using an FD to EOS adapter with optical element. One is wide open, the others stopped down. Naturally the optical element on the adapter degrades the image quality, especially wide open, on a GH1 the lens would be much sharper thanks to the adapter without optical element.
