Hey, I just saw this on eBay: Canon Serenar 50/2 collapsible, looks really clean, for $159 (plus shipping from Australia).

This is an amazingly low price for one of the rarer Canon LTM lenses. I already have one, and I'm still considering snapping this one up! Please someone else take it before my resolve weakens....
I have no connection to the item or the seller, of course.
Cheers,
Ari

Interesting - this is the first I've heard of this lens. I saw your thread on it here - do you have any other information about it?

...Aààaand... it's gone!
that was fast. Suppose somebody from here snapped it up?

...I was the weak one.
I was watching for a compact, 50mm lens with decent handling. The elmar is nice but I change apertures frequently and it didn't make sense for me.
At this price I couldn't pass up at least trying this one to see if it met my needs. Thats a good excuse to get an Canon LTM lense or two I have at home listed here on the forums soon.

I think the lens was only produced from 1947-1949. Interestingly, the aperture ring only goes to f/11, and turns Nikon-wise, unlike all the other Canon LTM lenses I've ever tried.
