Have a very nice (thanks RobS) copy of the latest Leica's 28/2.8 ROM that I'm thinking of parting with. Truly (insert favored deity here)'s own 28mm.
That said, don't find myself using often and when I do, I tend to use it more in a reportage-style mode where you'd be better suited to use the faster 35 'cron, 35/2 ZF, etc.
In short, it's flat-across-the-frame MTF is wasted for the shots I normally find myself using it for and an extra stop would come in handy.
So, thinking of replacing it with a late model 35 'cron or maybe (shudder) an EF 35/1.4, but I don't think the etxra stop and AF is worth the poor out-of-center performance, extra cost and a ticket in the Canon Lens Lottery. Been down the 35/2 ZF route. Nice lens, but not for me.
Lens is pristine and comes with a custom-encoded (e.g. "28mm F2.8") EOS FC adapter for Canon shooters, box, caps, case ,papers.
If anyone's interested $1300 or 35 'con + $$$ shipped insured/tracked within NA. CDN folks EMT or certified cheque fine. US folks with an aversion to Paypal - a USPS INTERNATIONAL MO is fine as well. Paypal - add 3%. Shipping outside NA is fine, buyer picks up the actual cost -$20.
I'll post it here first for a spell before adding it to FM -- or changing my mind. It's that nice a lens as some of you well know.
