    Model Details

    Manual focus normal lens made for Model 7 rangefinders by Canon starting in 1961. It's often referred to as the "dream lens" due to its soft, dreamy rendering at f0.95. At the time of its release it was the fastest still photography lens ever made. It cannot mount on any other camera than the Canon 7 or 7s because it uses a proprietary breech-lock bayonet rather than the standard M39 screw mount. The original price (57,000 Yen) is the equivalent of around 1925 Euros in 2024. Metal body available in silver/black.

      LTM / M39

      M39 is a screw-type mount system originally designed by Oskar Barnack for Leica cameras in the 1930s. These Leica Thread Mount (LTM) camera bodies attach lenses using a 39mm threaded screw mount.

      This mount was the prominent rangefinder mount for Leica until 1953 when the M3 debuted. The M Mount bayonet spelled the end for Leica’s thread mount cameras, although other manufacturers, like Canon, Leotax, and Zorki, continued to use the M39 mount for their cameras.

      There are some early Soviet SLRs that also use a 39mm thread mount called M39. Lenses for this system are incompatible with M39 rangefinder lenses, and vice versa, due to differences in flange distance.

      M39 rangefinder lenses can be easily adapted to mirrorless camera systems.
