FA-28 f/2.8 AL
FA35 F/2
They are all in very very good condition what are your opinions of
each. given that there are 2 28mm options which one is best optically.
I have got 3 of the lenses you mention: FA 24 2.0, FA 28 2.8 and FA 35
2.0. All of them are excellent, and they perform well both in digital
and film bodies. I think you should make your choice based in the focal
lengths you find more useful for your photography. The FA 24 2.0 shows
some chromatic aberration in high contrast scenes (mainly when shooting
digital) that can be corrected in post processing. It is the best built
of them, being a metal bodied lens, but the other two are nice, the FA
35 2.0 has a slightly better manual focus feel than the FA 28.
If you don't know which of them to choose, and the price is right, buy
these 3 lenses, plus the FA 20 2.8, and be happy :-)
