You have a valuable source of information here. 28mm you think a suitable lens Im actually new to sony, made the leap from canon 60D. I ahd the chance to buy a FE 4/16-35 for a very decent price and now I am torn between the FE 2/28’s size and speed and the 16-35’s flexibility. The Sony shows pretty severe barrel distortion and is clearly meant to be electronically corrected. Wäre mal interessant zu wissen wie die sich machen. I never had any issues with vignetting. Author Alpha Universe Date 2016.04.05. Thanks ? Could you show some samples? Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result. I am interested because that distortion is really noticeable, and I would probably end up correcting it if I were to use it. You got lucky, Phillip didn’t. Are you going to review the wide angle converter that turns this into a 21mm 2.8? So would I get extra speed and better images in the standard zoom lens spectrum? The Fe 2/28 has a metal mount. Something light weight but very effective. The FE 2.8/35 is even shorter and lighter but also a stop slower. E-mount APS-C cameras. With the bright f/2.0 aperture, the 28mm prime is also a great choice for low-light shooting.” –Andrew Alexander, Imaging-Resource, “The Sony 28mm f2 has incredible image quality, and it goes to show that folks that tend to snub their noses at Sony lenses should give them another look. This makes the lens useless for any video work or for those who want to use it with nd filters attached unless they are okay with shooting at f/2.8 and above. Hi Phillip, (I got the “S” because I shoot in low light a lot: both indoors and outdoors.). Also, there is a wide angle converter for the 28mm f2 which I can get later for an even wider perspective. Thank you for a first insight! When I attach my step-up ring and xume adapter on it, the camera fails to allow me to shoot wider open than f/2.8. Sharpness high as well if you only look at the center. Great review, I bought this and enjoyed it but now looking to upgrade to a Batis 18mm.

Does it report 28 or 21 mm with your step-up ring? I would expect that the MD 2/28 (49mm filter thread version) will have less smooth bokeh than the MC 2/28 but it will be sharper and smaller. When I go landscaping without serious weight restriction I usually take the zoom because of its versatility. Also cheap/old FD glass (28/35/50/85) is much better than the 2870. Saw it but wasn’t sure if it was just that one sample with a miscalibrated aperture or a real update. Merci pour vos renseignements. I’m interested to know how the corner and center sharpness of the 28/2 compares to the 35/2.8 AFTER lens profile correction. The Sony FE 2/28 is a small and affordable fast prime for the Sony Alpha 7 series. I think that the right side (with the grass) is the most significant part of the picture for judging the degradation in sharpness (although it may not be exactly in the focus plan). Share.

The Sony is a very good compromise, not the world’s best 28mm. Stopped down to f/8 the difference will be minor. Now on the a7 15mm are very wide but I would of course like to test it since other photographers liked it a lot.

AF worked well and precise, it is one of the faster FE lenses. “What I enjoy most about this image is how sharp and clean it is. Thank you for confirming what I expected. I would love for you to compare this lens to the nikon 28mm 2.8 ais lens as it is regarded as one of the best 28mm lenses ever made but it manual focus only. Hi, Phillip! Na, sold my 28 and 55 after got the 28-75. Updates on this one . So I would not count on it. The Nikon has much less light fall-off at open apertures. I will give it a try, I could always resell them for not much cheaper. What can you say about field curvature of FE 28 f/2? At f/2 the Batis and the Sony are pretty close as long as you subject is in the center of the image.

I love idea of the 28mm being so small and light weight but I’m just not sure about the image quality it give on my A7rii. For my next trip I’ll probably go for the Sony because I already have a screw in ND filter for 49mm filter thread. Though a similar style 24mm,(that isn’t F/1.4, huge and very expensive), would be more useful, and a 20mm, even more so. It looks like my copy of 28/2 produces more pronounced sunstars, doesn’t it? hi what do you think abt 16-35 vs 28/21 (with converter) combo. Any thoughts would be great. I think the lens performs a little worse at it’s shortest focusing distance, than at infinity. These cookies will be stored in your browser only with your consent. The camera’s dynamic range and the lens’ sharpness allow for detail in the terrain and the sky both to come through.” –Sony Artisan Spencer Pablo, “This wide-angle prime is compact, making it a great option for a small walkaround lens, plus the 28mm focal length is a great option for landscape and travel photography. The Sony FE 28mm f/2 is a new wide-angle prime lens for the Sony A7 full-frame E-mount compact system camera. It is light and compact and it provides smashing color, contrast and pop.” –Steve Huff, Steve Huff Photo. I’ll try it on the A7 II this weekend, but I am not expecting things to improve. The Zeiss lenses might be a tiny little bit more contrasty due to different coatings but I think you overexaggerate it by a lot I think the FE 2/28 has very high contrast and nice colors. In the end I just need to take a deep breath and remember that it’s not the gear that takes good photos! You compare the size of this Sony lens with other lenses, and in the photo all other lenses have the adaptors on.

I really don’t like what I’ve experienced from the 28mm F2, sorry As a general purpose lens the Sony is more attractive. Well I already own too many lenses and I can only test what I have. Sorry falls das schon mal behandelt wurde und ich es überlesen haben sollte. E-mount Full Frame Cameras. Hello there Pascal. Aspherical lens design dramatically reduces spherical aberration while also reducing lens size and weight.
