Originally posted by rbryant I apologize for thread-jacking. I am also very interested in these, having two 35mm camera bodies, but only one 28/2.8 (which will just not do). Are there any particular brands / types of these you'd recommend avoiding? And has anyone heard of a brand called "Underground?" Thanks.
'Underground' is a store brand from the Boston area, circa the 80's and before, .. . their store-branded lenses will usually be among the better no-names, just with their own name on there. They usually tried to offer decent stuff, so you're probably safe enough with a prime from them.
(If you get one with an Underground cap, I'll trade you something for said cap? For nostalgia's sake.
