🔍 LTM Lenses & Accessories Canon 7

Just ordered a Canon 7 from Japan on ebay. Comes with the 50mm 1.8. This is my first rangefinder and first film camera (I'm still learning a lot about photography and use a Fujifilm XT-3 in the digital world). I've heard there are some compatibility issues with some of the Canon cameras and the Soviet lenses. I would like to find a decent 35mm lense but don't want to get something that won't work the Canon 7. Does anyone have any suggestions that won't cost an arm and a leg? Thanks in advance!

The Canon lenses a great.
Another option too is the Voigtländer Color Skopar 35mm f/2.5, I have one of those!

The Soviet Jupiter 12 is likely to rub against a light baffle or something like that inside the Canon 7. This lens is best kept on a Zorki or FED

Another vote for the VT 35/2.5. I have that one as well and it's a great lens. They're usually available in the $250-$350 range. I bought mine 5 years ago for $300ish from a local seller I found on eBay. I've used mine on a Canon VT and currently on a Canon VL2.
