I've bought a used Canon CL 8-120mm f1.4-2.1 off eBay. I knew it would not mount on my DSLRs but since it was 16 pounds total I said I'd take him and figure out something to do with it.
It seems that the lens needs to be mounted on its camera for the aperture to open even a little bit so there's not much I can do with it now.
Any smart ideas besides taking all the optics out and turning it into a fancy mug ? :)
Answer
what you have is this lens that was supplied with the Canon L1 (or L2) Hi8 Camcorder. it is designed for a 1/2 inch format CCD. when Canon came out with the XL1 miniDV Camcorder, they changed the CCD to 1/3 inch format, so the older interchangeable lenses became obsolete. While the Hi8 tape quality stinks, the L1 was actually a pretty nice analog video camera but not worth buying even on eBay. unfortunately the lens does not work with any other canon or other brand cameras. Since it is a video lens, the iris caps to protect the imager when off.
15 pounds is a pretty substantial paper weight.

Shops in Tucson AZ? Safe to buy lens online?

Im going to buy a lens for the first time, for my dslr. Its going to be $700 and I was thinking it might not be safe. I have bought things from Amazon but only inexpensive things. Once a coffee mug got lost during the delivery and Amazon agreed to replace it, even though its reports said it had been delivered.
Anyways, anywhere I can buy camera lenses in Tucson? I dont live there, but its the closes city. If I dont find shops I might order it from Best Buy but I would like to find a camera only store that has lots of lenses available for pick up...

Most people make their camera equipment purchases from either B&H Photo or Adorama. I have been doing business with them since I was 18 now am age 71. No problems. With Amazon although I have had absolutely no problems you are in effect dealing with two companies instead of one.
