from ebay Summary: A 28 is fairly easy to make: most are very good and rarely get poor reviews. I have owed 28's by the following manufacturers: Canon, Vivitar, Soligor, Nikon, Minolta, Olympus Leitz and Zeiss. Without question the best results I have seen has been with the Leitz Elmarit and the Zeiss (Biogon for the G, Distagon for the RX SLR). Given I no longer use an M and the Elmarit was so expensive, I have to say hands down the Zeiss Biogon is the best 28 I have ever used and a bargan to boot! Sharp across the board (as are many 28's), good correction, little distortion (again, as are many 28's), what makes this stand out is the great color, the crisp clarity of what is in focus and the soft okeh of what is out. I am sure many will argue that their 28 made by (fill in the blank) is as good or better. Fine and good, but for me NO ONE makes a better 28 and only Leitz can match it. Strengths: Small, solid, well made
Sharp, perfect color, no visible distortion (it's a Zeiss for Pete's sake!)
Outstanding stopped down AND wide open
Sold very cheaply now on the used market-beyond a bargain! Weaknesses: No longer supported
That's it! Similar Products Used: 28's by the following manufacturers: Canon, Vivitar, Soligor, Nikon, Minolta, Olympus Leitz and Zeiss. Customer Service: no longer available-but never needed
