Canon 50/0.95

An excellent condition Canon 50/0.95 TV lens, this one has the c-mount. It is adaptable to micro 4/3 with a bit of machining and a c-mount adapter, or it could be converted to Leica M mount and used on any M mount camera with RF coupling, or also used on micro 4/3 with an M adapter. This is my personal lens but I have not had time to get it adapted, so I've decided to just sell it. The focus is a bit stiff, this could be lubricated at the same time the mount is adapted. Glass is extremely nice, no fungus, no haze. There is a small (1/8") mark on the front coating (not a scratch, just a coating mark) but it doesn't affect photos.

$625 (payment via paypal echeck or send funds via 'personal' option to save fees.

Adapted lenses sell for $1200 and up, so act fast. :)

If I had a rangefinder, I'd get this ASAP! :) But as of the moment, my funds are for a new camera...

Cheap indeed! Been looking for one for months then gave up... now this comes along now that I don't have a camera :(
 
I've read that the C mount is just an LTM to C adapter and can be removed to reveal LTM threads (albeit without any RF mechanism). Is this the case with this lens?

All c-mount Canon 50/0.95 I have seen have a c to Canon breech lock adapter. If that is the case, that c-mount adapter is removable with a two twists.

There are no LTM mounts or RF coupling underneath.

Nice price though.
