Nice photos of Luzern, the Jungfraujoch-Bahn, Zurich, among others.
You should try a Nikkor 28/3.5 .... the only vintage 28 I decided to keep (did try the Canon 28/2.8).

I am glad you like it~
Thanks for your advice. I just bought a Nikkor 50 1.4 ltm. As good as another Zeiss copy Canon 50 1.5. Now,28 3.5 is my next target. Haha

Yes, i just got a nikon s2, recently alot of users are selling their s2...and i found some nice nikkor lens to try on.
Guess, while i am unable to find a reasonably priced canon 35mm f2...i swop over to try out the nikkors while the price is good....
So have been testing out lens and camera with films...
I think its time u should run another roll of film for all these lenses that u have got!

Wow~~~ That's great~!  Nikon S2 is a good try and I also plan to do that in the near future.
Really? Maybe I can help you to look around if you told me about that... Actually I just saw several 35mm f2 sold out at the reasonable price.
Great! Looking forward to your film works~!
Haha... Indeed,I should spend more time on film.
Cheers

I would say the lens is uncommon, perhaps rare, but there are a few in circulation at times. At one time I owned two of them (having acquired an extra one inadvertently with a camera body purchase), now I'm down to one. I have also found it superior to all the chrome versions of the Canon 28/3.5, which says a lot since the chrome model is also a very good lens.
I'll post a shot or two later.

Nice shots Kevin I was impressed when I saw your flickr stream. That 28 looks good. As 28 is my fave focal length I will have to try one if I can lay my hands on one.

Here's a shot on color print film with the black Canon 28/3.5 wide open. This is Ronald Reagan's Air Force 1 in the Reagan library in Simi Valley, California.
The lens handles this rather severely backlit scene very well. Note the controlled flare on the bright ceiling flood lights. I overexposed a tad - some post processing might improve this.

chrome versus black
I used to own a chrome Canon 28/3.5, and it was an excellent lens. The chrome lens is tiny, making the camera/lens combo very compact.

In the case of the 28/3.5 and 35/2.8, the later black model is significantly bigger than the chrome version. In my opinion, this makes the ergonomics much better, as the focus ring has a much better grip area. Also, the black model has evenly-spaced f-stop markings on the aperture ring, while the chrome model has logarithmically-spaced markings.

That would be me. I owned it for many years and used it when I didn't want the obtrusion of my 28 Elmarit. I found nothing redeeming or remarkable about this lens except for its size. As a mater of fact, I found it to be quite unremarkable in many ways. It was in a word, "mushy".
Nice images and I am glad you are enjoying yours!
