Canon EF 35mm f2 (non-IS, non-USM) for sale

[Brian K]

Hi,

I'm selling my mint condition Canon 35mm f2 now that I have a Fuji X100T. This is an excellent lens and a very candid and fair review can be found at:  http://kenrockwell.com/canon/lenses/35mm-f2.htm.

For any OPS member, family, friend, relative it's yours for a low £125. After a week I'll put up on ebay for £175 for a quick sale. I can be reached directly at 07707 092211.

Here are some specs:

Canon calls this the CANON LENS EF 35mm f/2.
EF means "electronic focus," meaning that there is an autofocus motor in the lens itself. All Canon lenses since 1987 have been EF.

Unit focus.

35mm.
On 1.3x Canon cameras it will see angles-of-view similar to what a 45mm lens would see on a 35mm camera.
On 1.6x Canon cameras it will see angles-of-view similar to what a 55mm lens would see on a 35mm camera, which is actually a very useful zoom range.

63º diagonal.
38º vertical.
54º horizontal.
