I picked these up on the bay with some other parts lenses. These were
in nice cosmetic condition (just slight brassing on the diaphragm ring)
but had sticky diaphragms. I probably introduced a little dust in the
process but I opened them up and disassembled and cleaned the diaphgrams
and they are now operating correctly.
Price USD 15 postpaid in the lower 48. Negotiable elsewhere. If you
don't have a moderate wide angle prime here's your chance to get your
feet wet for cheap. 30 day guarantee if you pay return postage.
No front or rear caps available. Front needs 52mm. I will email photo
on request. There is probably some story behind these lenses. I first
thought they were "new" old stock since the serial numbers of the two
lenses differ only by the least significant digit. Then I noticed the
slight brassing which said they can't be new. Perhaps they were long
used in-store demos. If you'd like a 28mm f/2.8 you can't go wrong at
this price.
