WTB: FD Canon Mount 28mm 2.8

firedancing4life · December 31, 2006

I'm looking for a Canon Mount 28mm 2.8. It can be an off brand...just needs to have manual aperture and focus.

Thanks in advance.

Happy New Year

Kevin,

I happen to own a Sigma 28mmf2.8 FD mount lens.

I have no idea what it's value is.

What is it worth to you?? As I look at it, it is pretty beat up - not on the outside, but with debris, fungus within the elements.

If you are looking for a wide angle to reverse, how about a Canon 17mm f4 FD mount? It looks in much better shape optically. Give me a fair price for the 17mm Canon, and I'll toss in the Sigma 28 for free. How's that for a deal??

I have a Canon 50mm macro for an FD mount also...

Crap. I actually just scored the sigma off ebay for 21 bucks shipped.

Thanks for your help!

Sounds like a great deal Kevin

You should have shot me a price for the 17, I might have made you a deal

PF, what are the filter thread sizes on the two lenses you have? I might be able to use them in the lab, reversed, for a little project I'm working on...

Crap...i know...I just check the thread a day late. I figured I'd get outbid on ebay and surprisingly I didn't. next time!

DOc, the Sigma 28mm f2.8 is a 55mm thread size. It may be adequate optically, and may not. (I do not have an convenient way to test it - actually I do have an old FD body - I could shoot a roll of film I guess.)

The Canon 17mm f4 FD mount is a 75mm thread size. It looks pretty good optically.

Let me know if they might be of use.

Corrected - the filter size for the Sigma 28 is indeed 52mm. I have a 52-55mm adapter ring in place on that lens. duh!!

Sigma isn't 52mm thread? doh. I thought it was?

I just did a dig through my old gear...i have a 'Focal' brand 28mm f2.8 canon mount with manual focus & ap...no idea what its worth though

It would be 25 years old though & never used...still in original box.

Kevin,:D

You are correct and I stand here corrected and embarrassed. I apparently screwed in a 52 to 55 mm adapter ring many years ago, and left it in place because the lens cap I am using is a Canon 55mm. So the lens cap is 55mm, but my ASSUMPTION that that was the correct filter size for the Sigma 28mm lens was WRONG!!

Sorry Doc! Kevin is correct!! The accurate size for the Sigma 28f2.8 filter thread is indeed 52mm!!:hide
