Nope, still got it......... ( I have taken it off list with Eric....)

I just do not get along with 28mm......at least as a single FL lens...... (
on 24x36).

Tried on my Miranda.. no luck
Tried on my Contax IIIA... no luck
Tried on my Canon EF.... no luck
Tried on my Nikon 8008.. no luck
Tried on my M6.. no luck

I should get full points for the never give up attitude.....
But you would have thought I would have learned......

Thanks for the names..... I had forgotten Ballerstadt......

BTW, I use the 24 and 35mm FL all the time.... so it is not a WA issue with
me in general....

Actually I'm glad to have seen that post.

I was the guy Frank bought it from and I got it from Ralph Ballerstadt, a
very talented shooter  over on the SP forum; the lens is as Frank describes
it.

Frank, if you have sold it, I'd be interested to know to whom - just for the
sake of curiosity and knowing where it is and what it's doing.
