What it is
{"overview":"The Canon Serenar 100mm f\/4 is a short telephoto rangefinder lens in Leica 39mm screw mount (L39\/LTM), dating from Canon's early post-war rangefinder era before the company standardised on the 'Canon Lens' branding. Work the focus helicoid through its full range to check for stiff or dry grease, and stop the aperture down to confirm the blades are dry and snappy rather than oily.

Questions
Will the Serenar 100mm f/4 fit a Leica?
Yes — it uses the L39 (Leica 39mm screw) mount and will thread onto Leica and other LTM rangefinder bodies, as well as mirrorless cameras via an L39 adapter.
Is the Serenar 100mm f/4 a good value lens?
For a vintage Canon rangefinder telephoto with Leica thread compatibility, the price range is modest and the lens offers an affordable entry point into LTM shooting, provided the glass is clear and the focus is smooth.
