Some claim that FD 24mm f2 is even better. I've never had the L version, but 24mm f2 is certainly excellent in every aspect. Of course it's also more expensive than 24mm f2.8. As others have said, FD 24mm f2.8 is very good too. _________________ Many lenses and some film bodies for sale here: http://forum.mflenses.com/canon-fd-minolta-md-c-mounts-m42-pentax-and-more-t50465.html

I have both the Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 and the Canon FD 24mm f/2.8 SSC. I've never thought to compare the two, though. I've always been happy with my Nikkor's performance. I also have the Tamron 24mm, which compares very favorably with the Nikkor and is just a tad sharper, based on my own observations.
Vivitar marketed a 24mm f/2 made by Kiron that's supposed to be very good, but I've never used one, so I'm just passing on what I've read.
What about the Leitz 24mm f/2.8 Elmarit-R? How deep are your pockets? _________________ Michael

It's good, not stellar, but I was having infinity issues with my adapter, I'll be retesting it soon to see I it's a keeper.
I think the 28 has better rep. than the Minolta/Leitz 24/2.8 does. _________________ A Manual Focus Junky...

Thanks for all of you, friends.
I took note of your suggestions.
My wallet is ok, this is not the first place problem.
Good for the zeiss, and for the leica R.
My copy of the hexanon was something prone to flare and does not resolve so good heavy backlight situations.
The canon f/2 and 2.8 are a good options too i guess. |

Nobody tells nothing about the f/2 om. Well, seem not to be so good lenses.
Well, to look for one of the suggested lenses. |

Yes, I've seen claims in both direction. The 24/1.4 I have can certainly be sharp wide open but not sharp like the Contax G lenses.

Well, it's very simple with those claims: a great copy of whichever lens will outperform a middle-of-the-road copy.
24mm f2 wide open (might be a crop too, I don't remember).
and now the crop of the above:

Thanks jesito.
I am in lenses world from a long time ago. But without much experience in w.a. lenses because don't like them very much. So want to buy one really really good, and no more look for a 24 mm lens anymore. |

I do, but I haven't run a test comparison on them yet. Anybody with a NEX wanna let me borrow it so I can do the test right?
Seriously, I have an EOS DSLR and the only way I can compare the two lenses digitally is to use an FD-EOS adapter for the SSC lens, which also behaves as a 1.2x teleconverter, and which also exhibits some blooming flare at apertures wider than about f/3.5 or so. Actually I have two. One is a Fotodiox brand and it handles flare better than the other. But it still behaves as a 1.2x TC.
You've piqued my curiosity though. I may go ahead and do it anyway.
UPDATE: I just took some comparison shots. The results might surprise you. I'll post them in a separate thread. _________________ Michael
