Originally posted by Deni They have a Tokina 28mmf2.8 Lens for $39. Is that any good? Can I get a 28mm or 35mm f/2 lens for around $50-60 or am I asking too much?
28mm and 35mm are incredibly common focal lengths. I think a price from $10-$50 is reasonable depending on the condition and the brand. Unfortunately there are so many off-brand producers out there that it is hard to guess how good each lens will be (this accounts for the very cheap prices for non-OEM 28mm lenses). The Tokina RMC 28mm f/2.0 is very good, but my guess is the 28mm/2.8 is just so-so. I also like the Soligor "C/D" branded lenses if you're looking for non-Pentax bargains.
Have you checked out
Stan's site to see what is out there? It can be somewhat helpful, although I disagree with several of the opinions stated there.
