Hello
I got the lens above. Ijust wanted to know something about it, if anyone else have it etc
I took some pics and seems quite good. the serial number starts with 28...
etc.
I read about the difference betweend the cosina and komine manufacturer and that cosina is less good?, while komina version should be a step higher
is it correct? here a pic with this lens and a canon 350d
thanks for attention , bye

I had Kiron 28/2.5 and Komine 28/2.8 - Komine was better. Sharper and slightly less CA.

A late chime in (found this topic while googling for said lens),
I snagged a Komine one from evilbay in June for next to nothing. I use it for film photography on Prakticas and Zenits.
Have done the usual unscientific tests on a Nikon D700 with a glass-equipped adapter. It performed on par with the Pentacon 29/2.8 and Super-Takumar 28/3.5 (old version). All look more or less the same at f/8 (the 29/2.8 looks to be a good sample, many say it's rubbish). For me its a keeper.
Wide open at f/2.8 here, illuminating expired Ektachrome 64 (normal light sharpening applied to combat flatbed scanner induced softness).

The Cosina made 28mm 2.8 and the Komine (I have the Panagor version) one (not close focussing I don't have that one) are pretty comparable. I think the Cosina's bokeh is a bit better. Cosina will focus as close as the close focussing version to 23cm. (30cm for the Komine).
