I own some of the later model canon ltm’s, namely the 100 and 135mm f3.5’s and the 50 f1.4, all very good glass and very shootable in todays atmosphere, I use them on a Fuji xt-2 with an adapter, I was wondering about the image quality with this earlier series of lenses, I will be picking one of these up. The canon ltm’s are really a bargain and I love the compact size due to the lack of electronics. You can shoot in a lot of situations without the need for autofocus. Lose the bulk, the plastic and the electronics and buy these quality lenses.
Yes Canon started with the 2.0 then went to 1.9, then to 1.8 over the course of about 10-12 years. They had a 1.5 that was a completely different design. The 1.8, 1.9, and 2.0 lenses are often seen selling for $150-$250 mostly dependent on condition.
I love this lens

Canon LTM is often underrated, they made some great glass.
It seems that lenses are a little like guns, the old ones still work great!
what f1.5 is few thousand dollars and then F2 & F1.9 are so cheap? F1.8 is available?
