I've used the manual focus (late version) a lot and found it light and useful .. useful enough for me to leave the much heavier 24mm breechlock lens at home. Regards, Ian. Nottingham, UK. |

... Breechlock? ;-) What's one of them? Hi Ali. Try doing a search for "Canon" and "Breechlock". It is an old Canon lens mount and a search should get you pages of info about its use and virtues. Regards, Ian. |

... Greetings! Does any member of this NG has Canon 28 mm f2.8 lens? What is your opinon about this lens? With thanks. I quite like it. Canon also makes a 28mm f/1.8 lens that is not too expensive. 28mm is normal on the 1.6 crop cameras. I find the 28 f/2.8 to be nice and small and light, focuses quick and is pretty sharp even wide open. It has fairly low distortion at longer distances, but near the close focussing limit it develops some barrel distortion that you can fix with the Photoshop lens distortion filter. It is only $169 at Adorama for a new one so you can't expect everything but at the price it is very good. The hood is a good idea for it. The front element extends a little during focussing but does not rotate so you can don't have to re-adjust your polarizer after focusing. The kit lens is f/4 at 28mm so the 28mm f/2.8 will give you twice the light and allow shallower depth of field if desired. It also uses little 52mm filters so they are cheaper too. Consider also the 50mm f/1.8 II which lets in ten times as much light as the kit lens which is f/5.6 at 50mm and it is only $69.95 new at Adorama. It's Canon's lightest (130g), smallest and least expensive lens. Optically it is quite good even though it looks and feels pretty cheap. My experience with these lenses is on a Rebel XT which doesn't see the outer parts of the image circle so they may not be as good on a Canon 1 series or 5D camera, I don't know. |
