Replying to Selling two lenses (Tokina 17mm+ Olympus 28mm)
Hi guys,
I'm selling two lenses, or at least seeing if there's any interest in them.
First of:
Tokina RMC 17mm - OM mount (can be adapted to Canon. Adapter ring included). Can be used on FF if you need something extremely wide.
Very sharp, very wide. The sharpness of this lens, even wide open is astonishingly good. You would expect it much softer than it is, this doesn't mean of course, that it's as sharp as a 50mm prime, but it's very useable.
I bought it new in the box from a guy a month ago, just to see how I'd like something that wide. Turns out, I don't. I have also use the Samyang 14mm for a while and it's actually VERY comparable. Sharp, with a little distortion (as can be expected from this FL). The only difference is, that you can use filters on the Tokina and you can't on the Samyang.
Box, plastic bags, lens cloth and styrofoam molds are NOT included, but could be sent from the Netherlands in half a year (if you pay the shipping).
Full metal. Got some scratches on it. Glass is PRISTINE. No dust or whatsoever inside. Used maybe 5 times.
200$ OBO
Then:
Olympus Zuiko 28mm f/3.5
Almost a pancake lens. Not the fastest, but it's tiny, very light and very sharp, especially around f/5.6
Great little lens to get into primes. I hate to sell it, and for the money I shouldn't, but I hardly ever use it (don't ask me why; I know I should).
$50 OBO
With the money from these two lenses I want to buy the Olympus Zuiko 24mm. Something in between that's wide, but not extremely wide, like the 17mm.
24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 135mm is hopefully what my lineup is going to be. (Although lately, I've been thinking more and more about getting a zoom. Shame on me).
