Sean Reid's recent test of 28's

ever since the report of visitors of certain websites being monitored by FBI and/or canadian security authorities, i believe in all kind of excessive control 😛

cheers

That's pretty funny--I hope they're looking for pedophiles/ terrorists, not Sean Reid subscribers w/ loose lips. If you think otherwise, you're pretty paranoid.

I didn't realize every one of his subscriber's was sworn to secrecy.

The guy makes money off publishing his opinions on the web. If his opinions were worthless no one would pay for them. If you want to know what he thinks, pay the man. It's only fair in my opinion.
 
Being nice and friendly with forum-mates and providing help and advise has nothing to do with giving away was has been payed with our "hard-earned",and that is not to mention the amount of effort and objectiveness he puts in his reviews....

Heck, the guy does it for a living!!!

Subscribe and you won´t regret it(I didn´t),plus you will get a LOT of interesting and fun reading...not only the 28´s report!!

All the best.

Actually, Sean has some stuff on 28mm (and other focal length) lenses "free-to-air" at The Luminous Landscape:

http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/lenses/rd-1-lens.shtml

That's not eating into his revenue stream. (Sean asks his subscribers not to pass on stuff from his site which is fair enough. Further, he doesn't really do "ranking" but, rather, explains and expands on lens charistics. He explains his preferences but is at pains to point out that others' needs and tastes will be different. So his reviews really need to be read, not summarised.)

his lens tests so far have been with the rd-1 so they might be different for film.
the canon 28 he likes because of it's lower contrast than many modern lenses but the outcome might be different when considering modern films.

Can anyone tell me how he ranked these? I'm particularly interested in the Canon 28/ 2.8 LTM.

I don´t know, and I really don´t care, cause I have one. And you don´t have to pay me anything for following information: get one if you can. I´m happy with mine, tiny, and delivering first rate results.🙂
And I really can´t take this sh*t, why would anybody pay for somebodys opinion, afterall it´s just an opinion, not a scientific fact?

People have whole careers centered around expert opinion: Consultants of all types, attorneys, physicians, counselors, financial advisors, art critics... 🙂
