Canon 25mm f3.5, Leica Screw Mount. This ultra-wide-angle lens was introduced in 1956, during a period when Canon was focusing on Leica screw mount lenses. It features a 3-group, 5-element design and was the brightest wide-angle lens at its release. Distance markings are in feet.
At wide open, the center sharpness is impressive, while the edges fall off gently, allowing for striking images. Canon’s older wide-angle lenses often possess a lovely character, and this 25mm lens stands out for its ability to avoid color fringing even when shooting with digital Leica M cameras.
Its slim and compact design makes it perfect for casual street photography and an excellent companion for autumn travels!
The lens shows almost no signs of use and is in excellent condition. The previous owner had a thorough overhaul performed by a professional service. Thanks to the careful maintenance, the operation of the aperture and helicoid is smooth and pleasant. The anti-reflective coating on the rear of the lens barrel has also been meticulously reapplied. The rangefinder coupling works perfectly.
There are very shallow cleaning marks on the glass, but these should not affect real-world performance. Additionally, the glass is clear and free of haze. Practical test results were also very good.
Included are the original UV filter and front and rear caps.
