  • Very sharp manual focus lens that can focus extremely close. My go-to lens if I only can take one!

    I adapted this lens to Micro Four Thirds cameras and the images it can take are very sharp, rivalling modern lenses. Not as compact as a native M43 lens but I like how it gives a 3D kind of render of the image where the background s just out of focus. Not exactly what I would call a creamy bokeh but still very pleasant. Great lens, tightly built, smooth focusing.

  • An excellent lens.

    Nicely made durable lens. I put it on a micro 4/3 camera and found its IQ to be excellent. The close focus feature gives more options without having to change lenses.

  • useful with the right adapter.

    I got this as a 'prime' lens to use with my digital Lumix G5 micro 4/3's camera system. Since I already have a collection of old 35mm Canon equipment, I can use it there, as well. The stock lens that came with my G5 has a max apt. of F3.5, so this gives me an option in low-light situations.

  • A gamble on an old lens

    These lenses are too old to be reliable. You could get a bargain or be sadly disappointed. This sample had a aperture that did not work.

  • 28mm Canon FD

    It's a great lens and for the price!!! You can't go wrong but what I did enjoy the most it's his manual focus rings.
