Who got the oldest 35mm?
Mine is UF date code. which means produce in 1991. lol
Works like a charm so far.

That's quite old man! I suggest you shine a fleshlight through it and check it thoroughly for anything inside like fungus.

Ouch!!!
I saw them. I saw a family of frog jumping around inside too. . . I was about to wipe them out but then they said hello and smiled.

Nah joking man. thanks for the reminder.
Took bunch of pics and they turn just fine. I like the sound. Like those robots I play when I was a kid. lol. I thought AF will be like 50mm 1.8 but this is quite a bit of an improvement. lol

mine is sadly only 5 years old...i do have a 50mm MK I from 1986 though...it's one of the oldest ef lenses i've seen around here...how did you score it for only $50? that's a great deal

Just got this great little lens
Very nice and simply comfortable, sharp lens to shoot with

I'm hoping to get one of these soon. I just recently found out the min. focus distance is almost 3 inches shorter than the L... that's a slight plus in this lens favor.

Minimum focus distance is incredibly short, only something like 8 inches. It's amazing for close-quarters work.

Throw on a 12mm extension tube and you can really get in close.

How much did everyone pay for their 35mm F/2? The one im looking to buy has a date code of UU0203glass is perfect and its rated 9/10

I paid $160 for a used 35, three or four years ago...prices have risen about $100 since.

Thanks from a fellow floridian

wohoooo I got mine today from amazon finally... I like the sound it makes... like battery operated toy robots like Azzure_7 said.
Need to test in the next few days.

I hope, Canon will give us a EF 35mm II someday. With USM.
