Thank you for posting your brilliant shots of the lens! I am not sure if it is appropriate to update this thread after 4 months...but I recently grow interested in this lens and also the Vivitar/Kiron 24mm F2.

I adore the close-focus feature of Cosina 24mm F2.8 but I also envy that F2 which brings shallow DOF, haha.

Have you once tried the 24mm F2? That lens is much more expensive than Cosina 24mm F2.8 where I live.

Didn't know that there was a Komine version... thanks for your info again! and the beautiful pictures!

I just realize this F2 lens is almost the same price as a used FA*24 F2 LOL. I think I'll go with the F2.8 Macro.
