[QUOTE="moony16, post: 375843, member: 23104"] That is a good way to lean. No sense spending $$ unless you must do so to get what you need. You could probably save even more $$ if you move to a 28mm f/3.5, but, again, this only makes sense if you have no need for the f/2.8. Also, Vivitar makes some excellent 28mms from this era w MF. The Komine versions (ones with serial number starting with 28) are excellent. They also make close-focus versions and even an f/2 version, for far less $$ than the Nikkors. You will not lose anything in IQ either. I picked up a 28mm Vivitar (Komine) f/2,8 for $20 once, though that is a lucky hit. However, you can easily get one for twice that price these days with a little patience. I'll post a shot with the $20 Vivitar when I have access to my stuff. My advice here is late, but you can always make adjustments if you need to. jt [/QUOTE]
