Nicest copy I've seen of the FD 35mm F2 chrome nose, near mint. Thorium oxide element(s), concave front element, F16 smallest aperture. Serial #23xxx. Appears to be the 3rd version built approx 1971-73. Stock rear, generic front caps.
Very sharp wide open with nice smooth bokeh. $345 inclusive of shipping and PP fees. Also includes a decent FD-M4/3 adapter.

Caution! Radioactive, do not ingest lens ;)

To add a little credibility to the sale, please see my username in it's various iterations (Thatspeck), on Fred Miranda and most photo forums. Many of you look familiar :)

A few more pics from yesterday. F2, F4, F5.6, and 100% crop of the upper right corner. Horrible light... until spring:rolleyes:

One of the more exciting and rare FD's, from what I recall it compares very favourably to the summicron! Good luck with your sale.

Thanks Daniel for the luck, it worked!

Lens is sold :)

I'm probably just missing it but is there a way to mark this as sold without bumping it for future reference?
