    Yeah the 28 f2 is pretty awesome. I love the close focus, and the bokeh wide open, something the 25 can't do.

    However, the 25mm is great also, it's one of my personal fave focal lengths (24/25).

    I have both of these lenses in AE, and in particular like how they pickup and flare the sun when they are backlit.

    Sorry everybody for the delayed responses but just after I posted I got called out on a rush job.

    The lenses were all sold about 30 minutes after they went up by a gentlemen paying about twice what I thought I was going to get.

    The offer was so good I had to make sure it wasn't a scam.
    Turns out he just really wanted the lenses and hadn't found them anywhere else as KEH has dried up and ebay is touch and go for quality.

    Point of the story is that if you've got a set you are lucky as someone seems to be swooping up the left overs.

    Yeah I don't know what's going on. KEH is wiped out. But B&H and Adorama still have some stock.
