This is a work in progress.

Canon made various 39mm screw lenses. These were primarily marketed for the company's own rangefinder cameras, but most fit any camera -- Leica, Bessa, etc. -- that either has such a lens mount or has an adapter that provides it.

19mm

  • Canon f3.5. Nine elements in seven groups. Rigid, black and silver. August 1964. Calibrated in feet. Supplied with a case and finder.

(Canon may also have sold the 19/3.5 FL-mount lens (for SLR) as a set with a finder and FL-to-LTM adapter. Certainly this lens is used in this way.[1])
