Hi to all,
Does anyone have any information on this lens ?
It looks really nice (at least the sellers pictures  ) and it's my first manual 28mm lens, but I can't find anything about it.
Thank you in advance,
RC |

I have just googled +crestar +lens 28mm -financial -bank -mortgage and if people own this lens, they don't talk about it. I found a few attempted sales, and just one brief comment. On this page, primitive_man says, I also have a Crestar 28 mm, which is mechanically not so great ... My policy with such unknown lenses is that if they cost less than a hamburger, fine.

LOL.
Thank you. I've also did the Google query (without the money related part) and found very little.
I will start to follow your policy (it looks like a great one by the way).
I've bought it for the same price I buy a MacMenu in Portugal so ...
I will post some pictures taken with it as soon as I have it on my hands.
Again, thank you. |

It looks pretty "generic" design.
I 've seen Pentor and Carenar 28mm lenses that looked pretty identical to that Crestar.
My guess is it's just a cheapo lens that may have been marketed with many 3rd party brand names.
However, if it is really cheap it may worth a chance. |
