Good day all,
A friend of mine is very enthousiastic about alternative lenses for his Nikon camera's, especially the Zeiss series. These lenses are out of my legue to be honest, so he recommended to look at some other brands like Contaxt or Olympus.
Just a while back I posted a question about which standard zoom I should buy for my 5D I. Some of you wrote I should get a decent standard some in the range of 28-xx and maybe buy the Canon 24mm/2.8.
So, now I wondered is it worhwhile to look at the following lenses instead of the above mentioned Canon 24mm/2.8.
for my EOS 5D:
Olympus zuiko om 24mm 1:2.8
Yashica ml 24mm F2.8 f. contax yashica
What do you think? MF is no problem for me.
Best wishes,
Reinier

The Sigma 24/2.8 is decent and had a very short MFD.
