The Canon Dream Lens - almost every photographer that has searched for fast lenses with a signature look will know about them. The Canon Lens 50mm f/0.95 lens almost always tops the list when it comes to fast & exotic optics. Known for its dream-like glow & razor thin depth of field, the f/0.95 aperture lets massive amounts of light in, whilst retaining an artistic & pleasing image quality.

What could be better than one of these beautiful lenses for sale? Three. 😉

In Flints Auctions Fine Photographica sale on the 29th of April at 10:00 BST (9:00AM GMT) we offer three lots containing a version of the Canon dream lens: lots 164, 165, & 185. These lots are available to browse now at Flintsauctions.com

For those hawk-eyed lens collectors & photographers that noticed one of these mounted to a Leica M camera - lot 185 has been converted to Leica M mount with RF coupling. Lots 164 & 165 offer the lens in original Canon 7 mount - with the Canon 7 rangefinder camera attached.

Flints Auctions Fine Photographica is live & ready to accept your pre-bids, queries, & for viewing by appointment. We look forward to taking your bids live on the 29th April 10:00 BST at flintsauctions.com
