I just picked up a Tokina 2.8mm 2.8 that I should get next week. http://www.pbase.com/cameras/tokina/sl_28 I have another Tokina 28-70mm that is one of my favorite lenses and hoping the 28mm is just as good.
Congrats Dave! It's compulsory to post a pic of any newly acquired legacy glass mounted on your NEX - when it arrives! (I just made up that new rule)
Of the 28mm's you been through, what are poor performers, any keepers? This kind of info would benefit every one. I like * Canon FD 28mm/2.8 (cheap and very decent quality) * Vivitar Close Focusing 28mm/2.8 I have but don't like very much * Nikon Series E 28mm/2.8 There're a couple I need to use more to form an opinion. * Minolta MD 28mm/2.8 with (49mm filter thread) * Tamron adaptall-2 28mm/2.5
sure Ones I have tried, all from Ebay: 1- Minolta Rokinon MD 2.8. I bought one and it had all kinds of dust that made the images unusable. I bought a second one and the connecting tabs were beat up and unusable. Both sellers refunded the purchase when notified. 2- Nikkor Series E 2.8. Bad coloring, (everything looked pale), and not sharp at all. Resold. 3- Albinar 2.8 with Macro focusing. I really liked this lens as it allowed me to get really close. Unfortunately I struggled to get a sharp picture in anything but a static object. It seemed that the focus was just way to sensitive on a moving subject and even tricky on a static object. Resold. I have bought other sizes and have had great luck and some nice lenses. I just can't seem to get a good 28mm. Here's hoping the Tokina is a keeper.
that's the good thing on ebay, we can find a cheap lens amounts and with a little luck we can grab a good one .....
Grr, still waiting for this one to arrive. He shipped it ground and it is just taking forever. I hate waiting, I was hoping to have it tonight for a dinner party.
finally This lens finally showed up!! I hate waiting a week and a half. Anyway some quick initial shots. {} {} {} {} {} {} {} It finally looks like I have a keeper.
