...focus down to 200mm with CFC...
I reckon you're talking about this (Ai-S 28/2.8), Robert?
It's my most often used lens indeed, sharp, easy to focus and very well built.
A word of warning though: as this is a CFC lens, sample variation can be a problem. In fact, the copy I bought in Tokyo is much sharper than the one I bought in HK.
That's the one Peter, the sharp one please! LOL
Bj¸rn R¸rslet recommended it to me years ago when I got my PB4 bellows to use to copy slides ands negatives, I have enquired about one wherever I have been. My contact can get one... At a price. I checked various offerings out on eBay but none were actually the CFC version when it came down to it.
I think it would be a good lens for 'standard' on the DX, very roughly equivalent of the 45mm pancake, which is the classic length I believe, just short of the standard 50mm lens.
So is anyone is wanting rid of a 28mm f2.8 CFC lens I would be interested.
