The last one I saw (an FL lens, complete with finder, in mint condition) went for $450 Canadian, about 4 or 5 years ago here in Vancouver. Canon to LTM adapters are about $50 at swap meets, plus you have to come up with the LTM to M adapter. The thread mount lenses are more expensive, probably close to double. I had an FL lens for a number of years. I then sold the lens, kept the finder, and bought 17/4 FD and 20/2.8 FD lenses before I scraped up the money to buy a 21 SA and 15 Hologon in 1974. The Canon lenses (all 3) were quite decent, and in no way embarrassed themselves. * Henning J. Wulff /|\ Wulff Photography & Design /###\ mailto:henningw@archiphoto.com |[ ]| http://www.archiphoto.com
