Canon used the Leica thread mount from the S-II of 1946 until the Canon 7 of 1961, and pushed its rangefinder lenses to unusually fast apertures in those years. The 35mm f/1.5 is one of them, a very fast wide-angle for a screw-mount body, fitting thread-mount Leicas directly and M bodies through an adapter. Wide open it gives the soft glow and shallow depth that the fast Japanese rangefinder lenses are collected for, tightening noticeably once it is stopped down.
