FYI: One for the collectors, 50mm f/1L at KEH

Saw this one while browsing the stock at KEH. Somebody buy it and post shots here

Canon 50mm f/1L

Calling Petkal, calling Petkal ... or some other crazy

Didn't Canon once make a couple of 50mm f0.7 lens? I think they were about 3' in diameter or some such ............... heavy? - needed a fork-lift to move them

I saw one once (online). I think it was f/0.9, and the old FD mount.

Wasn't Clockwork Orange filmed with some f/0.7 lenses?

Edit: Yes, yes it was. And here is a huge page about how awesome their lenses were. Can you say multiple f/0.7 lenses?!

And the price has been reduced to $3600 !!!!

Imagine, son, the way you could shoot your old dorways with that lens.....the doorhandle is in focus but the keyhole ain't.

A few weeks ago they also had a "BGN" one.....$3k.......went within a couple of days that one.
