this a good lens?, and price?. My existing w/angle isn't Olympus (Tamron).
Am tempted,
but need some nudging
If it's really mint (not just in a mint box!) it's a good price. MXV are
advertising one in Exc++ condition for the same price but £5 postage extra.
It's regard as being a better lens than the f3.5 28mm version, which also
sells for around that price.
I have an MC 28 / 2.8 w/ original Olympus metal hood. Make sure you get a
28mm hood and don't rely on the after market rubber one size fits all hood
[which I use with my 50mm]. I once made the mistake of using the rubber hood
with the 28mm and experienced a serious case of vignetting.
