FS - PL mount Canon K35 Superspeed prime lens set (18,24,35,50,85) Metric

[Kobe Van Steenberghe]

SOLD!



We have a Canon K35 Superspeed set for sale in Europe (Belgium). These lenses are not a conversion, they are originally in PL mount!
The lenses have metric scales, but there is enough room to add imperial markings.
The glass is scratch free and has no bloom marks or fungus. The bodies are clean. Focus and iris gears are smooth.


Last month these lenses have been repaired and completely checked, serviced and collimated by Truelens in the UK. (see quotation in attachement)
The 24mm goes past infinity but the marks are dead on and Keith at truelenses ensured me that this would not be a problem.

The set includes:

F = 18 T=1.5
F = 24 T=1.3
F = 35 T=1.3
F = 50 T=1.3
F = 85 T=1.3

Some other info I found:

These are a great set of lenses. And unlike any other series of high speed lenses available for motion picture use, every lens is aspheric which is inherently superior to conventional lens design.
K35's were used by Adrian Biddle on " Aliens 2" and the lenses have also won an academy award for design from the U.S. Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
They also cover full frame 35mm (little vignetting on the 18mm) unlike most other lenses. 12 Blade Iris. Gorgeus circular bokeh. very contrasty and sharper than Zeiss Superspeeds wide open.

Asking price: 18 500 Euro

Will ship worldwide.

Edit: The lenses have metric scales, but there is enough room to add imperial markings by a lens technician like truelens optics in the UK or OptiTek // Duclos Lenses in the US.

I did own a set of K35 Lenses which i sold to finance my Red Pro Primes. The lenses are great and i loved there look, especially bokeh and how they produced flares. They´re lightweight and small and therefore great for handheld and steadicam work.

Kobe is a great business partner, i sold him my Wave panel couple weeks ago, it´s fun doing business with him and he is absolutley trustworthy.

If i had the funds right now, i´d go and buy these lenses.

Thanks for the kind words guys, really appreciate it!

BTW Markus, I've used those arriflex Schneider primes on 'Land of the Heroes' which won the Berlinale Generation competition this year!

That's funny because I already owned a set of k35s and was going to sell them to buy the RPPs but after several tests decided that for my work, the k35s were MUCH better. RPPs are great if you want that super sharp look. The k35s have an entirely different 'feel' and more of an organic look to them. Just my observation... Someone should snatch these up!
