Re: Bottlebrush tree (Sunactinon 28mm f2.8)
Yes, that's it, except mine is the "A" version. There seems to be very
little info on Sunactinon lenses which were made by Goyo Optical Inc.
I also have a Pentax M 28mm f2.8 & a Sigma Mini Wide II ("A") 28mm f2.8.
They are all very similar in peformance.

Re: Comments on 28mm F2.8 FA AL
Only have the SMC-F version (not AL I think). I think it is a different design but focal is really nice on my D and focussing is sure hell fast (due to very short focussing ring ramp).

Re: Comments on 28mm F2.8 FA AL
Shel, I'll just add "me too" to Perry, Mark and Godfrey's remarks.

Thanks Perry, Mark, Godders ... I'm musing over which will be the next lens I get for the istDS ... either the FA28/2.8 or the FA35/2.0 The FA20~35 is definitely on the list as well Shel > Any comments on the quality of the subject lens?
Re: Comments on 28mm F2.8 FA AL
Everything I've seen taken with it shows it to be an excellent performer. It's very similar (a little smaller) to the FA35/2 AL in weight and feel, rendering. I am tempted to go for one although I really don't need it. The focal length is a very nice "wide-normal" on 16x24, one of my favorite field of view choices. Godfrey

Shel, It is a nice lens. Size, weight and handling is similar to the FA 50/1.7. Sharpness is very good. Auto focus is pretty fast. The manual focusing ring is not great but it is OK. Perry.

I like having a small, light, fast lens to work with. (I sold my DA16-45 for this reason.) But between the FA28/2.8 and FA20-35/4, the size and handling difference is much much smaller: it really becomes a distinction between 1 stop and performance differences. I don't know how much better the performance of the FA28/2.8 is over the FA20-35/4 at 28mm FL setting. I'd love to hear any comments on that... We seem to be on opposite pages on that. I owned the 20-35 and sold it because it no longer satisfied my wide angle cravings when mounted on a DSLR. And in its place I bought the 16-45. Remember that I have the DA14/2.8 too. I bought the 16-45 to see if it would satisfy my desire for a wide-zoom in the wide-normal range and whether it was wide enough that I would sell the DA14, but I found it wasn't wide enough for when I want *wide* and it was awkward enough in use that I didn't like it much. It's a darn nice performer overall, but I like the 20-35 more for both ergonomics and quality. I at one time owned a F 28 f/2.8 (not FA), and found it to not measure up to the quality of the FA 20-35. But the FA28 f/2.8 is a newer glass design, and I suspect that it's probably at least as good as the 20-35, though probably not by much. It's hard to beat that 20-35. Yeah, I think it is. If I really want a prime in this range, I think the FA35/2 is the way to go for me. Two stops faster is a compelling rationalization, and I know the FA35/2 is both compact and a good performer. By the way, I noticed (either here or at dpreview) your writeup on consumer level telephoto zooms. I've got the 80-320 and have found pretty much what you did; that it's a decent lens stopped down a couple of stops. Mine doesn't have that rubbery feel as you zoom it though (I can't remember exactly how you described it). Mine does, however suffer from zoom creep if you point it straight up or down. Maybe yours has been modified in some way to reduce that. Hmm, I think I only posted my test report to DPReview.com. I can post it here if anyone is really interested. On this 80-320 (which is a loaner, not mine) the zoom control has a lot of stiction compared to the 100-300, and doesn't have the velvety smoothness and damping of the A70-210. It's not 'bad', just not as quick to use. There's a little zoom creep if you give it a slight push, but I don't think I've owned too many long zooms that didn't have *some* creep, particularly those with telescoping barrels. It's a good lens, actually all three are good lenses, as long as you stay within their sweet range. None of them can burn a candle against the Canon 70-200/4L that I sold, however, when it comes to straightforward resolution and contrast. That lens is VG to EXC at all focal lengths and lens openings. Godfrey

Actually, given the size and (to me) awkwardness of the DA16-45, the FA28/2.8 would be an easy pick. I like having a small, light, fast lens to work with. (I sold my DA16-45 for this reason.) But between the FA28/2.8 and FA20-35/4, the size and handling difference is much much smaller: it really becomes a distinction between 1 stop and performance differences. I don't know how much better the performance of the FA28/2.8 is over the FA20-35/4 at 28mm FL setting. I'd love to hear any comments on that... I guess the obvious solution is the FA31 f/1.9. ...that's a little more than I'm willing to spend on one lens, being just a hobbiest. I had one. Great lens, just again too large and heavy ... I felt I'd only rarely use it due to the size and sold it too; it was too expensive to have languishing in a drawer. Gdofrey

Hi! Wendy, I might be interested in this lens. Is it a first generation or second generation M28/2.8 lens? What is state of the glass, aperture mechanism? What is filter ring diameter? Do you accept PayPal? Do you ship to Israel? I think that it would fit nicely into M35/2.8, FA 50/1.7, Tak K 135/2.5 outline .

Re[4]: Limited 31mm f1.8 or FA 28mm f2.8 and FA 35mm f2
akozak, All perform quite well. The worst performer IMO, was the FA 28/2.8. It has light falloff problems until about f8 - quite noticeable. In trying to trim my kit down a bit, that was the worst of the bunch. Each lens mentioned (24,35,50) are different enough to not compare directly. That set provides reasonable coverage, speed and optical quality.

Re: Limited 31mm f1.8 or FA 28mm f2.8 and FA 35mm f2
I had the FA35 and liked the optical quality very much: Very sharp, good even wide open, nice bokeh, no flare or distortion. The build quality, however, is a matter of taste. If you are happy with the FA50/f1.4 or FA50/f1.7, you will definitely like the FA35/f2. However, if you can afford the FA31, it would probably be a greater joy to use. Arnold

Ryan, As one who has owned both the FA 28/2.8 and FA 35/2, I don't think it is that important to own both. The 31 splits the focal lengths and is reputed to be quite a wonderful lens. It also partially depends on if you own or intend to get the 43 limited. The FA 35/2 is not too far from the 43 in focal length. The 31 & 43 make a better set. As for me, I sold my FA 28/2.8. I have the FA *24/2 and the FA 35/2 and the FA 50/1.7. That makes a very nice set also.

Re: 28mm f2.8 FA for Available Light Shots?
Brian, That's a common attribute of wide lenses, your lens is typical. Most available light situations should mask the problem, the more picture elements there are the smaller the problem will be.

28mm f2.8 FA for Available Light Shots?
Hello All, I just purchased a 28mm f2.8 FA lens, thinking it would be good for low light photos. However, it seems to have a lot of light loss in the corners at f2.8 and f4. It would seem to defeat my purpose of available light photography if I have to set it to f5.6 or so. Is this expected with this lens? Is the 35mm f2 FA vignetting any better? That had been my second choice, and maybe now the first. I have a 50mm f1.7 FA, but was hoping for something wider in low light. Then again, maybe this is the chance for the 43mm f1.9. Thanks for your help. Brian
FS: Vivitar 28mm F2.8 KA/R
After a recent aquisition I have available a Vivitar 28mm F2.8 in KA/R mount, 49mm filter thread. I do not advise the use of this lens on AF cameras due to the extra ricoh pin which jams on the AF shaft ( which is the case in many KA/R lenses ). It is in decent shape with only a few minor nicks on the barrel, no scratches on the glass or fungus but there are 1 or 2 dust specs inside . The aperture ring is loose and when set to "A" can move enough to F22, this I have noticed in 2 other Vivitar lenses, will not affect an all manual camera or when used in manual mode. Comes with original front and rear caps, no box or manual. Asking $30 usd plus shipping or decent offer. ___ Build your own website in minutes and for free at http://ca.geocities.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

FS: SMC Pentax-FA 28mm f2.8
Yup, this is the auto-focus 28mm that I'm selling. It has a very good reputation for sharpness, but I'm finding that I use my A24-50 whenever I need a wide-angle. And I could use the money. :( By KEH standards this is an EXC+ lens. Minimal to no internal dust, perfect glass, and a great barrel. I hardly ever used this lens after I got my 28-70/4, so it's in almost new condition. B&H and Adorama both sell this lens for $239 US brand new, and KEH currently has an F28/2.8 for $149 (not the FA version). I'm asking the same price ($149) plus shipping for mine, which is the FA version. If you're not happy with it, let me know within a week or so and I don't have a problem giving a full refund, less shipping. Please reply off list, and the first offer of $149 US gets it. I'll even throw in the B+W UV (010) filter that's on it right now. It comes with both lens caps, of course. Thanks! chris - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

It's called the Mini Wide II Macro. In 1999 one of them sold for $65 in EX at KH. That's all I know; I don't have any specs or date of introduction. But it continued to be sold long after the 28/2.8 was introduced in the early or mid 90s. You might still find them new. Sigma designs many of its lenses to shoot a 1:4 magnification or better, so I suspect that this lens is a 1:4 or at best 1:3.
