Ultra Rare ELCAN 35mmF2.8 Fuji FX Mount Gun Camera Lens

[CF104 Starfighter Gun Camera Elcan 35mmF2.8 Fuji FX Mount Modification]
Ernst Leitz Canada 35mmF2.8 Fuji FX Mount

This is an introduction to a lens that adapts the "Leitz Canada 35mm F2.8" lens, originally used in the gun camera of the Canadian Air Force CF104 Starfighter, to a Fuji FX mount.
The original gun camera was a 16mm movie camera.
To preserve the original design and nameplate, a dedicated lens barrel and helicoid were newly designed and manufactured.
This is a unique item that you won't find anywhere else.

- The image circle sufficiently covers APS-C.
- The optical system appears to be dead stock or close to it.
Apart from slight scratches on the edge of the mount flange,
there is almost no sign of use.
- The aperture movement is smooth.
- The focus range is from infinity to approximately 35cm.
- The lens barrel and helicoid are new, created specifically for this lens.
Used only for testing.
- A new hood and cap have been created and included as accessories.
Made of aluminum, with baked-on paint.
The screws are in inches, so there are probably no substitutes.

* The attached images were taken with a Fuji X-E1.
* As a reference, we have attached a real-world photo of a transmission tower approximately 300mm away from the shooting point.
Please use this as a reference for infinity focus.
