The various Skopar\'s are starting to look appealing to me. I\'ve seen some photos from the 21, 25, and 35 that are all looking pretty good, especially the 25 and 35. Holding out for a nice used ZM 25 is tempting also tempting.
Jacob, you might just want to bite the bullet and get the best at 20
That\'s the nFD 20/2.8 and no RF lens will touch it on a digital sensor---well maybe one of those lecias on an M9.
I would try to check samples from 5n and cv 21. May it can get this sharp on the sides, but I doubt it. The CV centers are close enough. I doubt there is 20 made today better than this. Incredible coatings. Its fast too and can shoot indoors.
Not small, but not really heavy either. 305 grams. Close focus. etc.
I overpaid at 220USD.
For another 275 you could have what is considered by more than a few to be the best FD lens ever made, bar none, the fairly rare nFD 24/2. It\'s smaller. On the camera with adapter it\'s about the size of the kit zoom.
full size
one of the last Canon lenses in FD mount.
The ZM is potenially sharper, but on the nex sensor, no way. This thing will kill it edge to edge. I could be wrong, but not likely.
