Sony 28mm F/2.0 Full-frame Wide-Angle Lens for Sony E-Mount Cameras - SEL28F20
Jan 05, 2021
Sony 28mm f2 is a beast!
I’m used to using telephoto style lenses and this small compact lens won me over to Sony’s native line of wide-angle lenses. 28mm feels like the perfect travel lens. Great for self-portraits, video, and adding context, environment, and storytelling to an image or video. The f2 aperture is excellent for semi-lowlight areas. It’s sharp wide open and adds a subtle smooth and pleasing bokeh to the background of a subject near the lens. The price is great too for the features offered. It does not have a side button traditionally found on some Sony lenses. Its simple design includes a focus ring and that’s it. The lens hood is helpful in some instances, but not necessary in most. The auto-focus speed, depending on your camera's custom settings and speed may vary, on mine it’s incredibly fast. Almost instant in many use cases as I’m using (AF-C) continuous focus, on a Sony ILCE-7RM2 (A7RII) with focus speed set to “normal” or “fast” for photos and “slow” for video. Love this little lens! Here are a few photos to see bokeh and minimum focusing distance. Hopefully this is helpful to anyone looking at this lens. ✌🏻
