• UPDATE



    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

My local shop has a used 42mm f/2.8 TS-E, I thought I was hallucinating when I saw it but it's definitely a 42mm. They said it was very rare, but I can't find anything on Google (very weird). Anyone heard of this before?
 
Are you sure it's not a 24mm with the numbers reversed (i.e. it says 42mm both on the body & the front of the lens bbl)?

See if you can borrow/rent it for a day & post the EXIF data :-). Or just shoot a few test shots with it in the store...

I'll see what I can do, and yes it's definitely not a 24mm

Ok I stopped by and checked, it was actually a 45mm TS-E, but the tag was labeled (and still is labeled) 42mm f/2.8. I was sure that I had seen 42mm written on the side of the lens, but after doing some thinking I realized that this picture form Northlight images is where I had seen 42mm before (and it's fake of course):
