Description from the seller
Canon Super-Canomatic R 85mm F1.8
Rare Fast Portrait Prime Lens for Canon R Mount
Serial Number
248289
---
Thank you for visiting my listing.
Thank you for your interest in my item.
The Canon Super-Canomatic R 85mm F1.8 is a highly regarded fast short-telephoto prime lens from Canon’s early SLR era.
Its classic 85mm focal length is especially well suited to portrait photography, offering a natural perspective and attractive subject separation.
The large F1.8 maximum aperture also makes it useful for available-light photography and for creating a shallow depth of field.
This model is becoming increasingly difficult to find, and this particular example is especially attractive due to its very clean overall condition.
This lens has been carefully inspected and tested in Japan.
---
■ Appearance
The lens is in very beautiful cosmetic condition.
There are only a few very slight scuffs and minimal signs of normal use.
It has been exceptionally well preserved, and the exterior remains very clean for its age.
Considering the rarity and age of this model, it is difficult to find an example in such attractive cosmetic condition.
Please refer to the photos for details.
