Indeed I have many, but the answers depends on whether:- using film or digital, wide open or stopped down and then there are copy variations due to manufacturing tolerances, not forgetting distortion if used for buildings or interiors. Anyway for "quality" in a general shot (stopped down) my Sigma 24mm super wide II beats...................ordinary CanonfD/FDn 28mms, Vivitar 28mms CF/non CF, Tamron 28mm etc etc etc
For cheap lenses...maybe I have a very good copy, but for £8 it was a bargain and will never part with it.

Thanks for you precious feedbacks.

@Excalibur: on digital aps-c, mostly indoor, so not much stopped down (since I don't like flashes, light conditions could be low and I like a well balanced bokeh behind the subjects Smile ). Mostly for video (with resolution and codec limits wehave at this moment with a dslr...) but also for photos (in this case, I love to work in raw).

@jito: I'll look for something and send you via pm next days.
