kwmontreal 0 #1 June 15, 2006 Hi All, I am considering buying a lense off of Ebay. I don't want to spend to much, and this lense seems reasonable. I am no stranger to Ebay and checking out the sellers. I would appreciate any comments from people who have bought from this guy (sainidigital), or on my choice of wide angle. I have a 0.5 already. New to camera flying (zero camera jumps), and waiting with the rest of you who have ordered from 2k. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7627894274&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Thanks...

yardhippie 0 #2 June 15, 2006 clickey Ive not heard of that lens, and neither am I a well versed camera guy. Its not one of the brands I see commonly at the DZ. Kenko, Diamond, and Sony being by far the most common. Id say for the price I'd look at a comparable Kenco from B & H or someone. Im running a .5 PRO kenko for over 500 jumps and it works perfect for outside work, tandems, and large inside work. Im lookin at going to a .42 for inside work. hope that helps just a little.Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr2mk1g 10 #3 June 16, 2006 A good friend has a Titanium .45 It is a nice lens and I've never seen some of the nasty artifacts you get from kenko and other cheap lenses on his footage, (such as actually being able to see a reflection of the rear of the first element). I can't directly comment on the size you've posted as I've not seen it before but personally I certainly wouldn't have any issue buying a Titanium lens... though I'm not exactly an authority on the subject. I do wonder how big it is though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sdctlc 0 #4 June 21, 2006 I saw some of these on E-bay in the Titanium series. Has anybody tried it?? For $49 it is inexpensive but if it does not do well, then the cheapes thing is a waste of $ Scott C."He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
