Have not been able to shot any landscape yet, but plan to do it in next batch.
I have to memorize the settings for each photos and try to keep it simple:
First round wide open, second round close focus, and so on.

So far this lens really impresses me. I have seveval 28/2, but I would like to calm down a bit before I say something about the comparison.

Whoa! I just checked in the BAY. Those lenses go for extremely high prices!
You've got a gem there!

It's a bargain compared to something of similar quality with a red dot on it Wink

Carsten and Ian,
Thanks for your comments. I think this forum has increased prices of many lenses to a higher level Very Happy
Many sellers in eby also have unrealistic prices. And because of these sellers, I also had difficulties in local negotiation in some cases, often ended no sale.

Very nice lens, shame you can't fit Hexanons to EOS.

Thank you for the samples.

Does anyone know how the 28/1.8 compares to the 35/2?

28 1,8 probably more sharp with better contrast, I did try both, difference if any is little. UC lenses better coating than others.
