I can get a Panagor 28/2,5 locally, in excellent condition. The seller wants to have 30 euros. Is this a decent lens (I know that Panagor lenses were made by various manufacturers), and is this a decent price? The focal length would be very nice for my purpose (gives a 40mm FOV on my Canon DSLR). Thanks! _________________ Fujifilm X-Pro2 / Fujifilm X-T1 / some Sonnar & Takumar lenses |

Most Panagor were made by Kino Precision (aka Kiron in the States) until the late 80's/early 90's when Kino went out of business. At that point, Tokina made the Panagor label lenses...I believe the 28mm F2.5 is a Kino made optic that is a decent lens, but the price is just a tad high IMHO _________________ Cameras-Nikon D300, D7100,D610,FE2,FTN ,FT2,N90s, Olympus Pen EP-3 & Olympus OM-D E-M10

I have and use the Panagor (Kiron-Kino Precision Industries, made) 24mm ƒ/2.5 lens. It's a very good lens.

This lens is very common underthe label Vivitar ... Very good optic , a bit under the tamron 2,5/28 . I have the Vivitar one and an "Admiral" copy which is physically identical to the Panagor .However, I think the price is on the high level here . |

Well, I got a new offer ... to buy the lens plus a skylight filter for 25 euros. According to the seller, the filter has always been on the lens. It does look near mint on the pictures indeed.
Let's see if I can bring that down to 20 euros ... that would make it interesting for me. _________________ Fujifilm X-Pro2 / Fujifilm X-T1 / some Sonnar & Takumar lenses |

The Kiron 28mm f/2 and 24mm f/2 are pretty good too.

Hi,
No, not in Amsterdam, but yes, in Noord-Holland. Just curious, how much did you bid?

Johan,
7,50 euros. So that would be not too much. But usually a seller might respond saying f.e. that's too low, and then we could make a deal maybe. The ad stated bidding (if I'm not mistaken). _________________ Greetings, Dick

I must admit that I usually don't respond to very low bids as well. My experience is that many sellers do the same, btw.
Were you looking specifically to that lens? I was just looking for a good 28mm M42 lens for on my "new" film camera. So if you want to trade the Paragon for something comparable, that might be fine for me. _________________ Fujifilm X-Pro2 / Fujifilm X-T1 / some Sonnar & Takumar lenses |

Hallo Johan, I have this lens in M42 version. Bought mine for Euro 5,00 at the "Zwarte Markt" in Beverwijk. In my opinion 30 Euros might be a bit overpriced. But perhaps I was lucky then (2008). Regards Cliff. |

5 euros sounds like a steal but to me it looks worth 20 euros (in this condition) as well. _________________ Fujifilm X-Pro2 / Fujifilm X-T1 / some Sonnar & Takumar lenses |

It is more important that you are satisfied with your new buy. Have fun and take lots of pictures. By the way my Panagor is still on a Fujica ST801 which I used at the "Havendagen" in Rotterdam last year. Roll is still in, shame on me. I went there complete analog. Fujica ST 801 and Pentax SP500 body. Lenses Panagor 2.5/28, Takumar 2.0/50 and Eyemik a.k.a Porst 1.8/135. It was great fun among all the digital shooters.
