p.2 #3 · p.2 #3 · Is there a lightweight 28mm lens for Canon EOS (6D)? | |
I'm a litte slow responding to this, but regarding the suggestion chez made in post #2 of an adapted OM film Zuiko, I did almost exactly that for several years. It was the 24mm f/2.8 on a 5D, but almost the same. I used to pick this kit when I needed to move quickly hiking in bad/dangerous weather.
The results were excellent, at least as good as the 16-35 f/2.8 II.
Actually, the OM Zuiko 24mm f/2.8 is a cult lens, and I sold mine for ~US$450 only a couple of years ago. The 28mm f/3.5 chez mentions is also a cult lens, and has been since the film days. The 28mm f/2.8, which I still have and which didn't sell when I listed it, is not. I also used that on my 5D a couple of times with good results, though not as sharp as the 24. That could have been my copy, which also was from my film kit and which I never thought was as good after a repair as it had been before.
I eventually got sick of the manual aperture and use the 24-70 f/4 IS in that role now. If I wasn't as fond of 70mm as I am, I might have chosen one of the new Canon 24/28 IS lenses.
