  | sent on 28 Dicembre 2021 Pros: price/quality ratio Cons: does not excel at anything, if it can be a defect Opinion: Now it has accompanied me for over 3 years, and next to the 85 1.8, I find it the ideal companion to have a focal length now habitual thanks to the daily use of mobile phones to take flying photos, therefore with a "familiar" field of view and suitable in many generalist situations of daily life. It is a light and compact fixed, rather cheap that I often prefer to the Tamron 17-28 2.8 that, after buying it, I thought could lead me to sell the 28 f2 ... but instead for some uses I prefer the small fixed, not so much for the quality as for the bulk and weight that make it almost an "invisible all-rounder", both during travels, especially in low light conditions, and for when the spaces tighten but you do not want to give up some portrait with a discreet detachment of the floors ... without risking the distortions of wider focal lengths. It never misses a shot like autofocus, although it is not a splinter, but more reliable (at least in my experience) than the 35 2.8 Samyang. Even the construction is more than honest, with its small hood that you can safely leave mounted given the negligible footprint. It makes the A7iii practically a compact FF, with indisputable quality, more than enough for amateur use, if you do not have claims to detail and correctness in the most extreme edges. It is often found around 300€ new... if you have constructive demands or uncompromising quality, it is not this 28 that can satisfy them, but for these objectives it is necessary to at least double if not triple the expense (see GM). As for vignetting and distortion, which are present especially the first at f2-2.8, I find that with LR (as I think now for every photo editing program) these are no longer defects, or at least do not represent problems, as with a click they disappear. |
 | sent on 24 Ottobre 2021 Pros: Lightweight, compact, sharp already at full aperture. Cons: None for the price Opinion: Good quality lens, light and well balanced in overall performance. It pairs perfectly with the a7, an ideal mix for travel and street. Sharpness over the whole frame at least my copy. Vignette a bit but it can be corrected with a click from lightroom. For those looking for quality at an affordable cost there is nothing better. |
 | sent on 23 Giugno 2021 Pros: is the only 28mm f2, colors, sharpness in the center, backlight seal, construction, weight, bokeh Cons: sharp extreme edges even closed to f11, distortion Opinion: taken for video on a7s, focal that I prefer for this use compared to 24mm, the lens is made well (I know that the paint does not last much but all metal); optically slow good but not excellent, at the extreme edges it never totally recovers even at f11 (curvature of field?), while at f2 usable with good central-2/3 sharpness of the frame with a good bokeh; af on the a7s precise but not fast (also affects the machine) |
  | sent on 20 Aprile 2021 Pros: Optical and constructive quality. Value for money. Cons: Perhaps the painting too delicate and the quality of the lampshed. Opinion: A relatively economical goal, but entirely in metal and with an excellent yield in color and sharpness. Not for nothing do I think it has been pointed out by dpreview as one of the best value for money goals for Sony. The 28 mm is a classic focal point and those who are so many years old on their shoulders, like me, will remember that the three focal points to have in the bag were precisely the 28, the 50 and the 135. Back then there were no all-rounder zooms or in any case their quality was significantly lower than the fixed. Definitely to have in place. |
 | sent on 23 Agosto 2020 Pros: General portability, general performance and price Cons: Edge quality and distortion Opinion: Purchased as a lightweight lens from photo-journalism, especially when you have to go unnoticed, and placed in the optical park with the Samyang 14 and 18mm 2.8, the Sigma Art 35mm 1.4 and the Sony 85mm 1.8. He does his job well, even if it is not a perfect lens, in fact the lightness and dimensions are perfect for the concept of transportability - often just an illusion - of mirrorless. The overall performance is good in fact the autofocus is very fast and the lens in the center is sharp, however the quality at the edges is quite mediocre. In fact it is the opposite of Sigma Art, autofocus not perfect but very sharp lens on the whole frame. Personally, the choice between these two objectives is closely influenced by light (if it is evening the Sigma is a must) and portability/visibility (the Sony is unreachable). Price, transportability and rather good quality make this 28mm highly recommended if you choose it for the use for which it was designed. Keep in mind, however, that it does not excel at anything. There are semi-grandangles, street lenses and better portrait lenses for the photographic genre for which they were designed. |
  | sent on 06 Febbraio 2020 Pros: General performance, size, weight, price Cons: I would have liked it to be tropicalized Opinion: I have owned this 28mm for 3 years now and for at least two years it has been the everyday lens for my street photography. I can say that I had a very good feeling with this lens right away. Combined with the A7s he created a really good, accurate and efficient tool for me. As well as discreet and portable. For a few months I also own the A7s2 and the A7r2 and this 28mm continues to amaze me even on these two machine bodies. I have to admit, with the A7r2 sensor, it's a little bit on the edge. Limit, however, that is only noticeable in certain situations. That is, at full opening and at the minimum distance of maf. Just close to f2.8 and it's perfect or just stay at least 50cm from the subject. I do practically only street and therefore the occasions when I happen to be less than half a meter from the subject are really few. At full opening, making portraits where only head and shoulders are framed, he manages to give interesting and effective blurry. The colors, contrast and 3D that gives are reminiscent of much more expensive and ephaly ephaly lenses. The af is quiet, fast and precise. I'm a little bit ad f2 but it's not a drama for me. Indeed! However vignette and distortions are easily removable in pp. So, in summary, the size, the weight, the fovale, the performance make it practically perfect for use of street and reportage. The price then is the icing on the cake. The build quality is not like that of G's or GMs but it is obviously understandable given the cost of both! Had it been entirely theopicalized it would have been (for me) just perfect. I can still say that I scrambled enough for more than two years in hot, humid conditions, incredible dust and even under the snow and in temperatures of -20 and I have never experienced any malfunction. In short, if the street, the reportage, the travel photography is your sector then you can not not have it with you. You're going to have a hard time getting him out of the car. Super recommended.

 | sent on 02 Settembre 2019 Pros: Price, weight, size, sharpness, AF, Cons: Distortion, absence of MF switch, absence button assignable. Opinion: The value of this lens is to have an excellent quality and bright (f2.0) in really minimal size and weight. It is built well, it is internal focus so it has no external parts that move/stretch. It is fully usable at full opening and also with a good blur. It has no particular problems with chromatic aberrations, flares, vignettes. Great and saturated colors, reminds me of the zeiss/contax 28 f2.8 in this. The AF is fast, quiet and precise. Sharpness in the center very good at full opening, I would say excellent from f2.5 onwards. At the edges very good from f5.6-8. (if not, it would not be a perfect specimen). Focus on edges, not center. The only real flaw is a distortion a bit high to be a 28mm, it corrects itself without problems, but it costs something in terms of resolution and mm of focal; in C1 there is a trick to remedy. It would have been nice to have MF switches and button on the barrel, like the 85mm 1.8. Lens for me multipurpose, from reportage on the go, to portraits set, landscapes, street. Certainly recommended for the Sony E system. |
 | sent on 24 Gennaio 2018 Pros: Excellent sharpness, resistance to backlight, blurred and tonality. Minimum dimensions Cons: None, perhaps the fact that distortion changes as the focus plane changes Opinion: I compared it with the Nikkor 24-120 f / 4 VR on D600, set to 28mm. Nikon's zoom is optimized at low focal lengths, and has a higher yield than many vintage fixed wide-angle lenses. At f / 4, Sony outperforms the whole frame. The difference is reduced by stopping at f / 5.6, up to canceling at f / 8. Not only that, at f / 2 the Sony has a sharpness comparable to the Nikon af / 4. Even against the backlight Sony behaves better, despite the Nikon is already excellent. Add a nice blur, contrast and bright colors, and small size, I would say that it is a fixed wide-angle serious, without weaknesses in performance. The only flaw, on Capture one for Sony the distortion is not completely correct when the focus is close. Rated 10 |

 | sent on 02 Settembre 2017 Pros: Virtually everything for the kind of photographic that I use Cons: I could only say that it was not tropicalized Opinion: This 28mm is the only autofocus I have for the Sony system and therefore I can not make comparisons of reactivity and accuracy with other Sony material. I can still say that the AF of this lens, coupled with my A7s, is still responsive and fast hooks even under really unfavorable light conditions. I only notice a small negative side, namely the fact that every once in a while (once a dozen ) the focus is not perfect. I repeat that the percentage of photos that are out of focus is really low. Not more than one in ten. In addition, I do not know if this is to be imputed to the lens or machine. Having no other AF lenses for my A7s I can not test it. The same problem I had when I used my Xpro2 at 36 f2. A photo of ten was out of focus. That 35 on the XT2 worked perfectly always and the Xpro2 was always perfect with the other fuji lenses I had. Probably it was a talk of very slight and sporadic incompatibility as maybe it is now with this 28 and the A7s.rnOctually I feel like it is; perfect for what I do. Sharpen at any opening. Colors as they like to me are interesting contrasts. In the past, it's small and light. It hesitates a little bit on the lens (at least in my case) .nnDate the optical qualities, size, weight and focal length to be perfect for my purposes. In Italy it is less than 400 € and it seems to me to be an added value to this very interesting lense! RnStronged to street street and reportage with any Sony A7! RnMax |
 | sent on 07 Marzo 2017 Pros: sharpness, diameter of filters, compactness. Cons: Distortion Opinion: Lens in my opinion outstanding as sharpness and resolution. It can also be used for open-aperture portraits. With closed aperture is a blade with astonishing sharpness. Excellent the dimeter of only 49mm, very suitable for mirrorless philosophy. Remarkable distortion for a 28mm but it pulls away with a camera raw click, so for me a relative problem. Also excellent for the nocturnal astrophotography of the Milky Way. I'm still fully satisfied. |
 | sent on 09 Settembre 2016 Pros: sharpness, lightness, autofocus, weight, size Cons: distortion Opinion: The goal comes with excellent sharpness from F2.5 onwards. The size and weight are very small with a diameter 49mm.il aluminum barrel filters gives sturdiness and solidity (like the Zeiss Sonnar 55mm) with the absence of the ferrules games. Fast silent and precise autofocus great for sore street.rnL'unica is the distortion that for a 28mm seems too pronounced. highly recommended anyway |
 | sent on 14 Maggio 2016 Pros: Lightweight, quiet af, fast and above all internal components without protruding from the barrel, f2, excellent yield General Cons: obvious distortion but correctable in a click Opinion: I use it with satisfaction for a couple of months with the 90mm f2.8 macro Sony and the new 50mm f1.8 for Sony wedding reportage and 28 is a perfect focal length for this style! RNE able to give truly unique shots! In conclusion it is a perspective that once bought is no longer sold in my opinion for what it returns is a must have! |

| sent on 29 Settembre 2015 Pros: Sharpness, excellent colors, precise autofocus, lightness, quality, price Cons: Nobody Opinion: Lens wonderful travel and nn only on A7r makes great with really good color and sharpness. Suitable for photos urban night, even when you need a rest of convenience, as the handrail of a bridge or a column improvised. A report quality / price very attractive. Bought hastily before leaving for London, and for the focal adore both for lightness, I can say that has earned a special place in my goals. |
 | sent on 12 Agosto 2015 Pros: Lightness, size, build quality Cons: Excessive distortion Opinion: Overall a very good lens with an affordable price. Excellent sharpness, even at full aperture, and blurred very soft and pleasant to see. Also good color rendering. Unfortunately has a distortion a bit 'too much for a 28mm lens and, although you can easily correct it in post production (in recent versions of Camera Raw's profile pre loaded this goal and you can make an automatic correction so fast) The thing however a little 'annoyance. In conclusion it is still a goal with a quality / price ratio very good, with size and weight contained, in line with the philosophy of a mirrorless system. |
 | sent on 11 Luglio 2015 Pros: Size and construction, sharpness, good blurred at maximum aperture Cons: Excessive distortion, easily corrected in post. Opinion: An optical Sony FE unmarked zeiss good standard, compact size, robust and with a very good price (paid 392 euro with new costs) rnPur not a project as extreme openness gives a good sharpness which is required with a blurred very pleasant and morbido.rna7 and 28, lightness and exceptional comfort, a whole other world. If I have to find fault x force say front cap, gives the impression of being fragilino and built a little approsimativa. |
