Old lens question?

My friend found a canon TS 35mm 2.8 ssc lens that is in great condition. Can anyone tell me about it and it's value? Any help would be great!!

This one?

That's the one. He is looking to sell it if it has any value. See a couple on ebay with a large value. Was not sure if that is what it it worth or if there is much interest in something like this.

Most Canon FD-mount lenses cannot be used with today's generation of Canon cameras without adapters that have optics in them. The optics act like a tele-extender and most are commonly known to produce less-than-stellar results.

I see an adapter for this lens on ebay for $140. He wants to sell the lens and I would like to help him get a fair price. Not interested for my self.

but there are also a handful of FD lenses that are easily adaptable with an ED Mika adapter...and this is one

as far as selling it, and getting the best price...looking at completed listings it looks like it goes from about $400-$700...so i'd go for a price of between 5-600...or just put it on ebay, and let the bidders decide the value...make sure people know that it can be converted to EOS with the Ed Mika adapter though

Since it is fully EF convertible with the ed-mika adapter, has well regarded optics, and even modern tilt shift lenses don't have autofocus, it is still a viable lens for use today if he has an EOS camera. Otherwise, should be able to get good money for it.

Thanks all. Will let him know. May help him sell it on ebay or the sell forum here. Need to take a closer to see the shape. But a quick look this afternoon it looked mint to me.
