28/3.5 KOBALUX / AVENON: Show your photos !

[maddoc]

My copy of this tiny wide-angle lens for Leica screw-mount just came back from service, a former owner had obviously tried to self-service it and messed up the correct assembling of the barrel ... Now it is focusing fine and I would like to share some photos taken with this lens. If you own or have owned the 28mm AVENON / KOBALUX lens, share your photos ! 🙂

The 28/2.8 ASPH is a different league for sure ... 😉

How do the Canon ltm 28's (f2.8 and 3.5) compare?

Raid, very nice portraits !!

Jon, it was serviced by a friend of a quite famous master of the 50/1.0 lens ... 😉

Frank, that would be an interesting comparison !

I have read that the 28/3.5 is sharper than the 28/2.8.

From Abu Dhabi, in 2009. I use this lens probably more than any other.

Might be able to show you soon, I own the Canon Serenar 28/3.5. Guess I'm allowed to post shots from it here: I'm using a Kobalux 28mm finder with it 😀

I really do miss my 28 Kobalux. Never should have sold it.
