As the title suggests, I have a 2.8C in nice condition but the focus knob is in feet and I'd really like one in meters, so if you have one and want to sell it let me know.
The one from the MX-EVS SHOULD be good too.

In case you're interested in a swap it would be even better, mine is in average condition and probably needs a paint and refill of the engravings, now temporarily filled in black crayon stick. The memo disc is quite interesting, it has ASA for 8 -16 - 20 - 25 - 32 film speeds up until 160 and is in very good condition.

The close focus on the 80mm lens models is different than on the 75mm lens models. So an MX-EVS (75mm) knob won't be accurate on a 2.8C, I don't think.

Here's an MX-EVS knob on Ebay (foot scale). The close focus is 3 feet. The mark for 3-1/2 feet (close focus mark on my 2,8C) is 15 degrees or so away from the closest focus mark-

And then a knob labeled in meters-

(Yep, I've got a bent knob on an MX-EVS and am trying to figure out the best way to fix it)
