Up for sale is a complete tear-down, overhauled Canon K35 25-120 T2.8 Zoom lens.
This lens was painstakingly torn down at Duclos, all of its outer barrels were stripped and re-anodized with a specific anodizing process to make it look modern and sleek (not just a paint job over the existing finish, that I've seen on many other "refurbished" K35 zooms.) The front and rear elements have been polished and specifically re-coated with era-matched coatings. Also, I have removed the odd inner mask that blocks the image's coverage and creates a funky bokeh... (see the last image of the mask which can be included) With the mask removed, the lens covers 6K HD on the Dragon sensor and 7K on Helium.
I have also provided Duclos' support bracket/motor mount ring and their step-front ring and corresponding Delrin lens caps. The lens came with an old anvil-style case that can be included for shipping.
Basically, I spared no expense on restoring it back to its full glory. So if you are looking for a lens with a good range of coverage from wide to long and that massive amounts of vintage mojo to it, I cannot speak more highly of these lenses. I still own 2 of these and they work on all my car jobs. Absolutely gorgeous flares...
The only other K35 lens available right now is one that had only a partial refurbishment on it. Not the complete tear-down re-anodizing that this lens has and that lens is listed at $19,000.00. This lens is offered here at $17,500.00 plus any shipping and payment fees.
