Used Sony 28mm f/2.8 Lens for A Mount DSLR Cameras

Lens is clearly at it's best in the f5.6 range. Parties, picnics,scene investigations, etc. are all great uses. Used on Alpha 900 and although a good standard lens, it is understandably disappointing compared to the Zeiss glass. I am not faulting this compared to a lens that is 5 times the price, just be aware that images are notably soft on both open and closed ends. This is a great utility lens, but not able to deliver quality the 850 and 900 are capable of.

I use this on my alpha 850. I like its low weight and small size. But in pixel peeping it's not that sharp outside of the center even stopped down and has too much chromatic aberration (although that can largely be fixed with software).

Used on a Sony Alpha 200 & 350, as main lens. Gives field of view similar to what the eye sees. When used on an Alpha mount camera, the 35mm (full-frame)equivalent is 42mm. Images are sharp, including edges, at all apertures (f22 not used or tested). Ideal lens for landscapes. Also good for any general purpose, and performs well at f2.8. This gives you good versatility - a general purpose lens. An accessory hood is needed to prevent lens flare. Prone to flare, particularly when a filter is used. Also, filters should be multi-coated. Recommended accessories: - LNHW49, 49mm Wide Angle Rubber Lens Hood (filter screw-in type) - 66042177, B + W 49mm Digital Pro Skylight 1A Multi Coated (2C) Glass Filter (KR1.5) - 66017403, B + W 49mm Digital Pro Circular Polarizer Multi Coated Glass Filter - 7072, Nikon Lens Pen (cleans lens and filters)

For crystal clear crisp images this is the lens to have and at 2.8 not much light is needed to attain these great shots. From being light weight and easily mounted to great candid photo's not to mention the right price. This lens definately gets 2 thumbs up
