First shots from my 28 Rokkor-M

[erikhaugsby]

I got a (new for me) 28 f/2.8 Rokkor-M on the bay two weeks ago, spent all of last week photographing with it. Our school put on a nice week-long winter celebration over the week and I decided that Major Tom (my 20D) was used far too much for sports so I whipped out Sidnee and used her almost exclusively with the 28. Being the photoeditor on the yearbook sure gets you into a lot of places for free :p

and 28 is a great focal length :D

Great shots! My favorite lens, 28mm. I have them in Minolta slrs and a Bessa Color Skopar.

Really well-defined with great color, without being harsh or edgy. Thanks for posting. Not very usual to see photos made with this lens.

I noticed this in my pre-purchase searchings. There seem to be a number of positive reviews of it but I saw very few images from it...but I'm still happy.

Yes, the 28mm Rookor really "rokks". Good stuff you have posted here. This lens is 100% Leica quality. Here are four shots I once posted:

The thing I like best about this lens is that it doesn't look like a wide lens--the first two shots are uncropped and the third only slightly cropped.
