Kobalux & Avenon are the same lenses sold under different names. I've handled the 21 and 28 when i was in Japan but didn't buy one. I find it interesting in the review that the vignetting doesn't improve when stopping down.

In any case in this thread i was looking for info by those who'd used the Canon LTM 28mm lenses

The Canon 28/3.5 is a very capable lens, in my opinion. Roland (Federer) agreed with us years ago that the 28/3.5 is sharper than the 28/2.8.
Yes, I know that the Kobalux is the same lens as the Avenon. I don't see such vignetting.

Who's Roland.... and who are "us" ?....

Roland (or using his RFF name Ferider) was a very active poster here at RFF. As an engineer he brought us all lots of useful information on many lenses, I recall. "us" is me and him agreeing on this finding. You don't know Roland?

Thank you Raid... No i didn't know him. After my test rolls and prints... i'm quite happy with the example of the 28mm 2.8 i got.

Congratulations. This is all that counts.

Both are fine lenses and reasonably priced in the used market for what they are.

It may have been a theft in the bazar, with the teenager running away from the guy chasing him. It is outside the mosque.
Here is a shot taken wide open inside the bazar or market.

I found a 40mm yellow filter, but had to go with a 40-40.5 step-up ring for the orange filter.

Can the Canon 28mm 2.8 fit on a .72 Leica m6? And does anyone know if the frameline selector automatically selects when using a LTM to Bayonet adapter?

Yes it will fit...it's a very compact lens and won't intrude in the viewfinder. I'm sure it will key the 28 frameline if you have the correct 28mm adapter (28/90) for example (Cameraquest.... link below.... or cheaper versions elsewhere. amazon or ebay)

Nice shot. Are you happy with the lens?
Deardorff38
Mentor
Very happy.... it's tiny & i like the character. I use it a lot on my CL (film) i find a 40mm too restrictive in general. @f8 and hyperfocal distance...it's a high class point-&-shoot....
