Steve, I think the A28/2.8 is better than the M28/2.8, an old dog. Build is a problem so get one that's lightly used. The metal leaf springs under the plastic aperture ring have a habit of coming off. The first thing I did when mine arrived by mail was try changing apertures. Things seemed a bit rough then jammed completely. I could no longer reach "A", or above f8 or so. I dis-assembled and re-glued the leaf spring in place. I believe there are two and the A button pushes themdown so it can engage. Simple but irritating fix...don't lose the little ball bearing for the f-stop dents either. Regards, Bob S.
