The 28/2.8 Minolta for the CLE is about half the size of the 28 Elmarits at less than half the price. Another lightweight alternative is the 28/2.8 Ricoh lens, made for the Japanese home market. Don't overlook the small LTM 28/3.5 Kobalux aka Bower. 28's The best buy is clearly the Voigtlander 28/3.5, add the bayonet adapter. The problem with the Minolta CLE's 28/2.8 is that it often has edge separation. The 28/3.5 Kobalux aka Bower aka Adorama is very nicely finished, very small and lightweight, in LTM so it will fit screw mounts or M's, and comes with a nice finder. If the mount is good, the 28/5.6 Russian lens with a bayonet adapter is another low priced alternative for about $100. 28/3.5 Kobalux aka Bower aka Adorama. Nicely finished chrome lens with good finder, very small and lightweight and priced right. Add the bayonet adapter. <http://cameraquest.com/mlenses.htm> Ric Carter http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/ricc/ On Mar 11, 2007, at 9:13 PM, Eduardo Albesi wrote: > Do any of you know this lens, it performance or natural history? > Marc? > > http://cgi.ebay.com/M-28mm-F3-5-lens-for-Leica-Leitz-never-used-in- > box_W0QQitemZ320088740776QQcategoryZ30063QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem > > Thanks in advance > > Ed > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
