canon fd lens resources for letus35 at DVinfo.net

A.J. Briones · November 1st, 2005, 02:32 AM

hi everyone. any recommendations on where to get canon fd lenses aside from ebay? i currently have 28mm, 50mm and 28-105mm lenses, but i'm in the lookout for more. specifically, i'm looking for a 20mm or 18mm wide lens, and i'm interested in seeing some sample footage with a fisheye lens as well.

any reliable retail sources?

also, if anyone has sample footage from other lenses to share, i would love to take a look at it. if you want screencaps of any of my lenses, i would love to share them as well.

thanks in advance!

I bought some very very good USED canon fd lenses at www.bhphotovideo.com. You don't have to worry because it's writen down the exact condition of the lenses. I bought 3 and they are working perfectly.

adorama has some nice used fd mount lenses as well, in some cases very comparable to ebay prices

the website is www.adorama.com

thanks for the responses, guys! to be specific, i'm having trouble finding wide sub-24mm lenses. is this a canon-specific issue? are nikon lenses more readily available?

Thanks for the link to KEH! I just placed an order for a super wide angle to use with the Letus35. The B&H used area looks super promising also. Great tips guys!
