2 primes going on e-bay - DPChallenge Forums

3 actually, but I may already have a buyer for my kit lens.

Peleng 8mm circular fisheye with Canon adapter - $180.00

Canon EF 28mm 2.8 - $120.00

I'll pay shipping. I accept paypal. Both lenses are in mint condition. I've decided I want the extra stop of a 35mm f2, and I'd rather have the Zenitar 15mm fisheye (the 8mm is a little too much for how I wish to use it).

www.photodo.com shows the 28mm 2.8 to be just as sharp as the 50mm 1.4, 50mm 1.8, and 35mm f2 (all at 2.8). The lens is awesome (but not a usm and the focus buzzes like the 50mm 1.8). Grey market brand new at B&H is $160.00.

The Peleng is a fully manual focus lens and needs an adapter to fit on Canon lenses (included). www.kievcamera.com sells it new for $250.00.

I plan to e-bay them, but wanted to give first crack to my "online friends" first because I know these are very reasonable prices.

I'll bump this a couple times today and then stop.

(consider this another vote for a Buy/Sell forum)

My 35mm f/2 is broken and I'm debating between buying that lens again or the 28mm f/1.8. I curious if you thought about the 28 f/1.8? There are a number of reviews that suggests it's a little soft, but I'm not sure how much it would affect digital output. The 35mm f/2 is a great little lens but it is noisy and it can be a little long (55mm eq).

I'm trying to concentrate on portraits (it's where I actually make some money). 28mm on a 1.6 crop camera is good indoors, but if you get too close to your subject, slight distortion is visible. I'm hoping the 35mm will give me a little bit of extra distance between me and my subject to reduce distortion.

I've read a ton about the 28mm 1.8. People who own it, seem to like it - but people who only test lenses, seem to not like it so much do to it's softness. I love the look of photos at 2.0, so for me it's a no brainer to get the 35mm f2, it's sharper wide open, which is where it'll be 99% of the time.

Down the road I'll be looking at a 20mm prime for wide, non portrait stuff, but I really don't go wider than 50mm most of the time. No rush on wider angle (which is too bad because the 17-40L is one of the cheaper professional lenses ... I just know I don't use the range enough to justify the cost).
