Morning Harry, as I have shot film over the years I have used a 50mm 1.8 on my OM2 for twenty + years and have never really felt limited. Since I have bought the Rebel and immersed myself into the effort to do more with my photography I have enjoyed learning the possibilities with the zoom and variety and ease it affords. I also have missed my prime and this one was affordable and almost new.. I am looking forward to more experimentation with it as well.
Be well today, Stan

Yep, just take the 28 and see what you can get with that that day. You may seem other oportunities with a say 100mm lens that day, well, make it a 100 mm day the next day, a reason to go back !

Hi Harry, I think that just getting out and using this one will give me joy without the big price tag. I have found that sometimes being in the moment is all that one needs for the capture. Thanks for you kind words and support!!
Be well, Stan

Hey Bop,
You know "God" watches out after fools and children... You choose which one I am, but you never have to worry about me, because I think I'm both. A foolish child, indeed, but life is great... hehehe
The conversion factor for your camera is 1.6, so the 28mm is like a 44.8mm on a 35mm film camera.
In the "60's" the 35mm was the real factor for a lens, but in the "80's" they all said the 50mm was the lens to have...
Today the prime lens is the 50mm, but I tend to lean towards the 35mm since I'm a romantic and all... ;)
On our cameras a 22mm would be 35.2mm, which is as close to a real photojournalists lens from the "60's" as they make today...
I think my favorite glass was the Nikon 35mm, 1.8... Not sure where it is, but it's somewhere around here, or I gave it away, not sure?
All of my Love to you and yours ol' friend,
Marty
PS. You don't have to be a Mother Hen, because your a Bop! You ware too many hats my brother!

No, you have to dig and find gold before you can buy a f/1.4
It does the job. No worries.
Be well

Hi Marty, glad that Ike went and picked on someone else. Never wish those on any one.. This little lens seems to be user friendly. I still need a little more time with it but I think it will fit nicely into my limited quiver. I think that 28mm is about 38mm on the Rebel. Still nice to have the 2.8. for lower light. Thanks for checking in!
Be well, Mother Hen!

Hi harry, just got in from work. I was glad that I got the kind of quality I was looking for with this lens. Not L glass but I am not in the position to drop that kind of $ right now. I used this for 2 days and only changed back to the 35-70 in the afternoon of day 2. Shot 190 images with the almost prime. Focus was quiet and seemed to marry with the Rebel quite well.
Be well, Stan

Thanks Heloiza, I stood in front of the building and this just had to happen. The morning sun was not to high to back light the roof and was able to get a good exposure. Just played with the saturation to please my eye, glad it caught yours as well.
Be well and have a good week, Stan

Thanks so much Dave, this is a 15 mile drive on a dirt road to get to Elk Horn. It is also forest access after the town.

Stan,
Looks like you got a new toy. Seems to be a very sharp piece of glass to me. And prime glass is always sharper than zooms, but a bit more expensive... hehehe
Nice find as far as I can tell from what you have posted already...
Well done my friend,
Marty

Thanks so much Julie, breaking in a 28mm lens. This was a grand old building and was one of the last ones standing. It was a really beautiful alpine setting and the remnants of the old settlement was really interesting. There were 2500 people in this town in the 1880-1890. One of the few mining towns that had families all living there. Had a great Birthday and my grandson is doing great. Thanks for your encouragement and friendship!
Be well, Stan

Thanks Keith, this was my first time to visit Elk Horn. It is at about 7,000 ft elevation. There are some scattered buildings that have survived and many that have burned or totally collapsed. It is a very nice historical site but much of the town is private property. It was well worth the visit.
Be well, Stan

Thanks Harry, I got a 28mm f2.8 Canon lens on ebay and this was one of my test run images. Seems to have what it takes to work with. I pumped up selective saturation on this one. The remnants of this town are really interesting. There are still people living here but no mining is in progress. This old building had some great details on it!
Be well my friend, Stan

Good evening Mitra, glad you liked it. A little PS on this but the image stood on it's own. It was on the west side and in the shade. I just played with the colors to spice it up[ a little bit.
Be well my friend, Stan
