Description from the seller

Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 — Wide-Angle Autofocus Prime Lens

Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.


IMPORTANT — Please read carefully:
- There are slight, early signs of fungus INSIDE the lens. In its current state it is not expected to affect images, but fungus is a genuine optical defect, not a cosmetic note.
Please read the Known Issues section and check every photo before bidding.


About this lens

The Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 is a compact, lightweight wide-angle prime introduced in 1987 alongside Canon's EOS system and the then-new EF autofocus mount. It offers a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture, a wide 75-degree diagonal angle of view, and a 52mm filter thread, with an AF/MF switch on the barrel for quick manual override. It is a practical, highly portable everyday wide-angle for both film EOS and digital EOS bodies. Made in Japan.


Mount and Compatibility

Canon EF mount. It works natively on all Canon EOS DSLRs (both full-frame and APS-C) and on EOS film bodies. On Canon EOS R-series mirrorless cameras it can be used with the EF-EOS R mount adapter, retaining full autofocus; it can also be adapted to other mirrorless systems using electronic EF adapters.


Condition: USED — Good
Pre-owned, with a minor optical flaw (slight internal fungus) as described below. Cosmetically clean with only light use.

Serial Number
Please check the photo.

Appearance
Tiny scuffs from normal use. Please check the photos for details.

Optical Condition
- Fungus: A small amount of fungus is present inside the lens (slight / early stage). This is an optical defect — please read the Known Issues section.
- Haze / Fog: None.
- Scratches: None.
- Balsam separation: None.
- Dust: Almost none.

Functional
- Operation: Works properly.
- Aperture blades: Clean and move properly.
- AF / MF switch: Functions.

Known Issues
- There is a small amount of fungus inside the lens. In its current state it does not appear to affect image quality, but fungus is a defect and can potentially spread over time. We recommend storing the lens in a dry environment and, if desired, having it professionally cleaned.
