Ser.no. 22xxx. Would this 5D with use. It is also 28, 97 and 37 of the starting numbers. Who they are manufactured, and which of them would be the best?
What about the 2,8 versions.

I can recommend those manufactured by
9 Cosina
22 Kino (aka Kiron)
28 Komine
37 Tokina

Yeah, but are so expensive. More than the OM 24 / 2,8

Maybe worth the price?

They seem overpriced when compared to OEM lenses. If you find one cheaply then give it a go. I like Kirons and Komines as they are good, just not amazing IMO.

fwiw, I only have one kiron lens but its the 105mm macro which is outstanding optically
and mechnaically. dont know if the 24/2 is as good or bad.
