Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 lens or similar

I'm looking for a prime focus Canon EF wide-angle lens, in the range of 14-28 mm. Must be EF mount (not EF-S or EF-M), and no IS is required.

I'm planning to use it on my CCD (with adaptor), so will not be attaching it to a DSLR body - so no need for stabilisation and manual focus is fine.

Would also be happy with a 14, 20 or 28 mm f/2.8, or 24 mm f/1.4 or 28 mm f/1.8.

I have a Canon 28mm f1.8 USM that is surplus to my needs.
It's in great condition and I could let it go for $350 including postage (to Tas?)

All these shots were taken with it on my 5DmkII:

Thanks Hugh -- I'm ideally looking to go a bit wider (20-24mm is my target 'sweet spot', to best complement my other lens choices [I already have a 40mm]), but if nothing else comes up, I'll get back to you. Appreciated.

No worries!

Just a suggestion but I've just got a lovely fully manual Voigtlander 20mm f3.5 on a Nikon ai-s mount that I'm using with my A7s. I believe the same lens is available on an EF mount but maybe that's a bit too slow for your purpose.
I haven't had a chance to use it under the stars yet but it looks good for the daylight stuff I've tried so far.

Yep, found the EF version: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...0mm_f_3_5.html

Pricey, but worth considering for the future - thanks for the tip Hugh.
