Advertisement Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Hi pico, Take a look here Anyone have experience with the old Canon 28mm f2.8 LTM lens?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
250swb Posted March 20, 2015 Share #22 Â Posted March 20, 2015 Steve - I am aware of this, although there is a video out there of Garry from 1982 in Los Angeles using a an early version 28mm Elmarit. Â That's around the same time he started to amass his vast collection of unprocessed film,.........and two years later he died. Buyers remorse?

A miller Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share #23 Â Posted March 20, 2015 Steve - yes, a depressingly sad and abrupt ending he had. I think he just couldn't keep up with his shooting volume. I don't think it was so much that he was hoarding it. He must have shot over 5 million exposures over his life. And he did all dev and printing in-house.

A miller Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share #24 Â Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) I've shot a B&W and color roll with this lens and can report that it is a piece of sh$t. My 28mm summaron is MUCH better all around. Back to Japan it goes.... Edited March 27, 2015 by A miller 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to Japan it goes.... Â Can you post some examples? In any event, sounds like you saved me a chunk of change. Wide-angle lenses are more difficult to do, there are some surprises. The Nikkor 2.8cm F3.5 is quite good on my Monochrom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boojum Posted October 31, 2021 Share #31  Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) I have had good luck with the Canon 28mm f/2.8. Good color, good definition. Just dumb luck I suppose.

boojum Posted October 31, 2021 Share #32  Posted October 31, 2021 I seemed to have lucked out in this B&W with an M8.2 and the Canon 28mm f/2.8. I am not sure what is wrong with this lens. But I am sure someone can help me out with its flaws. Thanks for your guidance.
