krazykid009 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Calling all togs and filmographers! After a cheap lens for filming. Found 2 28-80mms f3.5-4.5 going cheap. Ones is AF and with non-manual aperture, and the other is full manual. Which to choose? Many thanks James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Fancy being a bit more specific? What brand, to fit what camera, at what prices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazykid009 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 18 quid each. The AF one is a SMC. The manual one is a Cosmicar (division of Pentax). They are older lenses. Am going to be using it on a Pentax Kr for filming only. Thanks James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 If they're only £18 each you may as well buy both, then re-sell if they're no good. I assumed you meant a £400 Nikon / Canon lens or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Tea Why Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 If its just for filming go for the full manual one, although I couldn't comment on the quality of those lenses (probably best to google them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. It's only so I have a seperate one for filming, and seeing as they are chap I thought why not. Saves me taking by nicer lenses riding! Manual it is then!
