28mm Lens for Canon A1??
Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2007 5:14 am
Hello everyone! I'm a new member to this forum but it looks as if it is the place to be.
I recently purchased a Canon A1. It takes beautiful pictures with the stock 50mm lens, and the the 70-210mm lens that came with it does wonders too. But I've been told by a few people that the 28mm lens has a certian appeal to it, and from the pictures I've seen on the net, I would agree.
I've heard of Canon lenses, and Vivitar lenses. I'm trying to find more information on the others (Tameron, Tokina, etc) that are out there, but I think I'm looking in all the wrong places. I'm looking for other brands that compare to Canon & Vivitar, and I'm looking for price comparisons. (Poor college students have to be price concious at all times).
B&H listed a Canon FD 28mm lens for $269. I payed less than that for my Canon A1, the 50mm lens and the 70-210mm lens that came with it. Is $269 a reasonable price for a 28mm lens?
Thanks for any advice you can offer!
