The Canon Serenar 4/135 is an impressive lens. Built to outlast the pyramids, it has a removable lens head, an extremely smooth focusing mechanism, and glass that delivers sharp images.
The only thing I don't like about this lens is the amount of chrome that reflects bright sunlight upward. This makes it difficult at times to read the inscriptions for focusing and
f stops that are engraved on the barrel. That's why I stuck two strips of black electrician's tape to the barrel, as shown in the photo, left,
If I had my druthers, I'd prefer to dress this lens in black. But then it would lose that gorgeous "vintage" look, wouldn't it? I took the photos shown below with a Serenar LTM mounted on either a Canon P, Canon L2, or Nicca Type-5. Kentmere 100 film processed and scanned by
