Up for sale is a stunning example of the Canon 85mm f/1.5, a legendary "bokeh king" from the golden era of Japanese rangefinder optics. This lens is renowned for its dreamy wide-open rendering and razor-sharp performance when stopped down, making it a favorite for portrait photographers and vintage lens collectors alike.
Optics: Overall excellent condition. The glass is remarkably clean with no fungus and has very slightly hairline scratches.
Note: There is one tiny white spot on the front element. It is purely cosmetic and will not affect image quality or contrast in your photographs.
Mechanics: The focus ring is silky smooth and precise throughout the entire range.
Aperture: The aperture blades are clean and the mechanism works perfectly, clicking firmly at every stop.
Cosmetics: In excellent condition for its age, showing only light signs of careful use.
Mount: L39 (Leica Screw Mount) – easily adaptable to modern mirrorless systems (Sony E, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z, Leica L, etc.).
Fast Glass: The ultra-fast f/1.5 maximum aperture provides incredible low-light performance and shallow depth of field.
Build Quality: Solid "Made in Japan" craftsmanship with a beautiful all-metal barrel.
Rare Find: This specific focal length and speed combination is increasingly difficult to find in such well-preserved condition.
