Canon Rangefinder
Question for Canon users.?
Have you ever heard of the “Canon Dream Lens?” It was introduced on the Canon 7 rangefinder back in 1961 and claimed an astonishing f0.95 (yes, an f-stop of zero point nine five ). IMO that would be an awesome lens if you could A) find one and B) get it adapted to your DSLR.
You can find them for under $1000. In fact, there’s two on eBay right now. Converting this lens to a dSLR is another matter however, due to the insanely short back focus.
But why stop there? Zeiss once made a 50mm f/0.7
