These lenses were used in films such as “Aliens”(1986) and “American Hustle” (2013). The iconic Canon K-35 lenses were manufactured during the 1970s and ’80s. Someone on eBay is actually selling a Canon K35 18mm lens housing without any optics! To put that price in perspective a 6-lens set of ARRI Signature Primes costs $152,670 USD.
