"Ww" stands for Weitwinkel - "wide angle". I've never come across a 25mm one, but the 28mm was a reasonably good budget-priced wideangle, 1970s or 80s vintage, I think. _________________ Stephen

Thanks Stephen, I got a few hits on the 28 but nothing on a 25mm, did see a Tamron 25 but it looks nothing like it, photo of the Raynox here http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af273/AKBAMAX/2011/10_Oct/01_5th/RAYNOXlens3.jpg |

I saw that too. Previous 28mm models were Cimko lenses, so I wouldn't expect massively high quality results, but who knows? _________________ Graham - Moderator

The Ensinor 2.8/28 and 2.4/28 are both Cimko made lenses and both are good, I have two copies of the 28 and apart from the coatings being not so great causing flare without a deep hood, they are good lenses. The results others have got from the 24 version were also good. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

Not sure I want to spend circa £60 on a whim, I've done it to much lately think I'll keep the money towards a Voigtlander 75 or 90 |

I'd pass too, although 24mm lenses are quite expensive, 60ukp should get you a good one with some patience. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |
