 hi
since i twice missed the 30mm 2.8 on ebay. i am now
considering these 
 two. i
looked at a reolution test and it seems that the 28mm
 m f2 is better. 
anyone
 care to elaborate on either of these two.

Hi, 
if you are looking for a cheap high-quality lens you
may also consider the M 28mm/3.5. They are quite
common.  

I have the 30mm and like it a lot. This lens is very
sharp between f4-11. It is capable of showing fine
details and, most important, of reproducing incredibly
fine tonal ranges.  Excellent for BW and slides. 
Ebay prices seem to go up to 250-300 US$ though (still
significantly less then the 31mm ltd)

Enjoy,
Alexander

Re: smc m 28mm f2 vs smc k 28mm 3.5

2003-05-30 Thread William Johnson
I have both the M28/3.5 and the K30/2.8.  While I feel the K30 is the better
lens, the M28/3.5 is certainly no slouch, and it is pretty tough to tell the
difference with everyday subjects.  Only with closer subjects at the wider
apertures do I really feel like I would definitely prefer the K30, and this
is really just a matter of taste (bokeh).

HTH,

William in Utah

The K 28/3.5 is excellent and is a tremendous value. I can't say for
certain, but I would guess that the build quality is slightly superior
to the M lens.

I do have the K28/f2, K28/f3.5, M28/f2 and F28/f2.8. Of these the 
K28/f3.5 is in my pfoto bag most often, as it is really, really sharp, 
offers superb build quality, the size is very convenient, and the 
focusing feel is perfect. I pick the much bigger K28/f2 only if I 
foresee that I need the speed. The F28/f2.8 I pick only in combination 
with an AF camera. The M28/f2 I own longer than the others, and I can 
confirm that it has very high resolution. However, it seems to me, that 
the K28/f3.5 has slightly higher contrast.
