The 28 Rokker is a pretty good lens.  It will be better than the first 28
Elmarit but not as good as the rest.  It is not particularly good into the
light (flare).  If you shoot predominately at 5.6 or smaller it is an
excellent value.

Mine has the little dots and the all too typical edge separation but is
still a good performer.  If you are being offered the lens under $200 then
it is a good deal assuming mechanics good.  Beyond that price look at the
Canon 28 F3.5 which is in the $200 range often with a finder.  You will of
course have to find a LTM to M adapter.  Also, 34mm hoods, caps, and filters
don't grow on trees.

Hope this helps.
