Hi, a member of another forum was asking this question. Perhaps someone here can help. I guess he wants to know how common it is an possible value. I've never heard of it.

Quote:
The January 1960 issue of popular photography magazine reported that canon planned to offer a 45-200 f2.8 zoom for their new canonflex. Nothing further appears to have been heard about it. I'm interested to know if anyone knows anything about this lens, as I've got one -- so I'm sure they made at least one.

Me thinks it's a joke. Like the "canon bought yongnuo" joke.
Or whatever it was.

Canon doesn't seem to think it exists.

You may want to re-read his post, he doesn't have the lens, he is only quoting the original post.

I haven't been able to find much about the issue other than the cover.


And one is available on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Popular-Photography-Magazine-Gowland-On-Glamour-January-1960-082617nonrh-/382219719094
