WTB 50mm T1.3 K35 LENS ANY CONDITION

[Tony Covell]

Hi Jacek,
The lenses including the 50 that I have do have Canon colours. I do remember that Rental companies in the UK lobbied Canon extensively for a 50 not the 55 as most are. Maybe they finally did get around to doing as we asked. My set came from a store [cache] of many lenses that were originally bought by the biggest UK house of the day.
Its a long time ago and maybe we will never find the answer. However; there are so many about, now dicovered from this thread, it is obviously a serious update and it looks like Canon made them. Most conversions by Moviecam were from a set of FD SLR lenses numbering 11 in the set.
Cheers for now.

And here are two pictures of the rear element. The second one I took five minutes ago.

There are several people on reduser which have the 50mm instead of the 55mm. I've been told that the 50mm is a newer design than the 55mm. Mine is made in 1987.

Edit: Jeff kiefer also has them. you can see them on his website: http://www.jeffkieffer.com/redrental.htm

Edit 2: If you want to see pictures of my full set: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4357312/K-35.zip

I have an old rental catalogue from Samuelson 1994. Their list of K35s nomenclature:

Mk2 Super Canon 24mm T1.5/35mm T1.3/50mm T 1.3/85mm T 1.3 these glow in the dark.

Canon Ultra speed as above but with 55mm T 1.3 these do not glow in the dark

Canon Super speed 24mm T 1.6 / 35mm T1.4/55mm T 1.4 / 85mm T 1.4 do not glow in dark.


18mm was separate rental.

I have a set of K35s from around 1981 - Jacek did the PL Mounts - the set has a 55mm and has focus and iris gears with white markings. The later sets with the 50mm only seem to have gears on focus and has the indents on Iris ring.

Hi Guys,
This is interesting as I am pretty sure my set came from Samuelsons originally. I dont have an brochures that old The time sacle of Kobe is correct.
Thanks to Kobe for the pics and yes that looks like my damaged lens type.
Thanks for all the interest and info. Now we need to find one for me.
Cheers
