I found a craigslist listing where a guy is selling it for $55. It's a Canon mount, and from the bit of research I've done it seems to be an EF mount. Worth the purchase? It'll go on my 1D :)


1D classic | 50mm 1.8 | 28-105 3.5-4.5 | 270ex flash

it's an adaptall lens...so are you sure the mount the guy has is EF, and not FD?...you can get em on ebay for cheaper...maybe not in EF mount, but then you can buy an AF-confirm adapter for $20...i'd think if it was a decent lens, and since it's able to be universally mounted means it'd have more people after it...so the fact it goes so cheap is probably a sign...

I use this lens on a Nikon D300 (Tamron Adaptall 2 mount) and Canon 550D (big is (e-bay)) Adaptall 2 to Canon EOS chipped adapter. Both work well.

The 01B version is basically the same lens except for it being 24mm not 28mm.

You should be able to find this lens for quite a bit less with patience.
I bid online and purchased this lens for $21.75.
