It's a great little lens (quite little in fact). You paid a bit more than average but not much.
Shoot it and recover some value.
I love most all of the old canon rf glass.
No flops really in the entire catalog.

TY for moral support!

I figured:

Free Shipping = 10usd anyway.
Includes Case
Includes viewfinder---that's got to be worth something.

If the glass really is clean....

Canon museum only lists two versions, but then I read there are in fact something like 7.

I will shoot the hell out of it in the backcountry

That's a beauty ! and the lens is nice as well. ( get that car outta the snow ! )

OOohh, a vintage Z-Car! Glad to see you at least had a tarp to cover her.

Well, the Canon RF lens certainly seems to be doing a good job. I don't think you paid too much for it because not only did you get the caps, but you got the case and especially the viewfinder. I suspect a 100mm VF is harder to find than 35/85/135 ones. Probably easily worth $30-40 by itself.

OK, here it is:
























too many Z shots:

Some people call the Z cars the "poor man's E Type", they were wrong, they are so different, and both very good. I'd really a Z car, but rust killed so many over here.

( Nice Yota as well )

Beautiful Datsun, it is always great to see cars of that vintage in a mint condition. I've just spotted one of these lenses with slight balsam seperation but still usable, I have no use of it but if anyone else is interested or wants to clean it up:

Canon produced a similar 100mm/3.5 lens for SLR use.

The three RF versions:

Yeah, paying attention to the horizon is one of those items that I still have to consciously remind myself of. Annoying.

100 (you can see I've been futzing in LR)

That looks like a 240Z. I'll guess 1973. I had a '74 260Z from new. They sure do rust.

you are right, it's a 73. No rust. Sold in Idaho, lived in California (the car)

Now, lets go back to 1955:

Do you by any chance have the 100mm f/4 in that book? I just bought one, and wouldn't mind reading what they had to say about it.

here's the complete documentation I have

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=102055

lot's of fun to read through, but alas the 100 f/4 is not in either brochure, that I can see.

Perhaps the 100 f/3.5 superceeded the f/4?

BTW that lens is easily had for 100USD or less and is superlight and sharp.

e.g the lightest version of the 4 is 355 grams, while the 3.5 is 205! Yet it is a more complex lens. Not to say the f/4 is bad: I think it's like a really nice jupi 11, and I bet the build is very sweet. You better post up a pic. Is it like this?

Yep, that's it. A bit blurry for the 100, but it gets the point across:



I found mine in an antique store recently, complete with the finder and case. I haven't finished the roll of film in the camera yet. Need to do that real soon now. Cool I'm figuring it should be a good performer.

BTW, that's a brilliant looking pic you just posted.

I'd been doing mostly very long shots with this lens, and was beginning to wonder about some lack of contrast long distance.

Today I had it portrait mode on my nex, and well....
