The F 28 is a very nice lens on APS-C. The problem is that its super duper prone to flare. It absolutely needs a hood, and to me that detracts from its elegance. I suspect it might do better with an HD coating. Come on Ricoh, make the HD DA 28 2.8 a reality!
The F 50 1.7 holds a special place in my heart because it was the first lens I ever purchased used through Craigslist. They seem to have fallen out of favor since the DA 50 1.8 is so cheap these days, but the F-series body is so much sexier.
I find it hard to get excited about the F 135 2.8. There were times where I could have gotten one, but it's pretty pricey, and I always felt "why not just get the DA* 50-135?"
As a trio though, these lenses would be nice for the upcoming full frame. The final prices on these auctions will probably be nuts.
