Quite pricy for sure, I settled for an f2 LTM Fuji. Nice lens, very well made, like most RF lenses.
I just realized I've hardly used it, must get out and shoot.... Sad


I think very very few were made of the superspeed, but I'd love to see some shots from your f/2 Smile

Reviving an old thread.
Did anyone ever find a schematic for the Canon 50mm f1.4 LTM that showed the 6 elements in four groups?
As everyone above has mentioned, the schematic that appears in this discussion thus far is of course incorrect

Peter Kitchingman shows it as a classic 6 element/ 4 group double-Gauss. And I have taken several part and can verify that it is.

I seem to remember Neblette, "Photographic lenses", 1965 putting it in with the classic Planar 6/4 group.

Shows as 6/4.
