WTB Canon K35 Super Speeds

[David Ellison]

If anyone knows of any going for sale, please let me know preferrably PL mount will accept others for conversion if the price is right.

Be careful with the K35 as not all are able to be converted. Canon for some reason made some where the rear part of the housing isn't thick enough (or something like that) to take the required machining and mounting. I know Les Boucher in the UK can tell you which are suitable.

Alas with great pains. I converted 3 sets so far and have the fourth coming.
Just a matter of engineering skill...:coolgleamA:

Jacek converted my set of K35s + an Optex/Canon 135mm to PL and he did a fantastic job. It takes a bit of time but I recommend him highly.
Sorry David my set is not for sale.
There are minor differences with K35 series depending on manufacture dates.
Early sets had a 18mm T2.8 and the rear of the lens protruded so could not be used on some film cameras (Mitchell R35) also the 24mm was T1.6 and the 35 and 55 were T1.4.
Around 1980 the 18mm T1.5 came out / the 24mm T1.5 the rest T 1.3. Some had focus and Iris gears. The later sets produced around 1983 had a 50mm instead of a 55mm and had focus marks similar to Zeiss mk3 S/S which were luminous. ( similar to the set the FJS were selling the other week)
There were predominatly made in BNCR but the later sets could be ordered in PL.
