Video reviews

A compact 28mm prime can replace three wide-angle lenses at once. But only in the case of purchasing special converters released exclusively for it: SEL075UWC (reducing the focal length to 21 mm) and SEL057FEC (“fisheye” by 16 mm).

Kid-robust

The diameter of the lens almost merges with the size of the bayonet mount of Sony mirrorless cameras, and its body length is only 6 cm. At the same time, all external structural elements are made of metal, including a wide manual focus ring. The interior of the lens is protected from dust and moisture by rubber seals, invisible to the eye from the outside.

Versatility

The 28mm focal length is universal for many genres of photography. For example, it is equally well suited for shooting landscapes, architecture and street photography. The interiors of buildings are also given to the lens quite well, especially given its high aperture, which allows you to shoot handheld in low light conditions without excessive bullying of ISO values.

Correction

Wide-angle optics, by their nature, suffer from geometric distortions. When shooting in JPEG, the in-camera distortion correction system successfully handles with them, but in RAW format, lines located close to the edge of the frame begin to noticeably bend. The camera also effectively corrects chromatic aberrations that occur at the edges of high-contrast image transitions when shooting at open apertures. Well, the vignetting effect that occurs in the same case is removed, if necessary, already in the photo editor.

Solid savings

The lens draws a juicy and contrasting picture, and it is also practically not affected by backlight. In addition to converters, filters can be used in conjunction with the Sony FE 28mm f / 2. By the way, the small diameter of the front lens (49 mm) allows you to significantly save on their purchase. And the lens itself will not hit your wallet hard, even if you take it together with one or two adapters — anyway, such a bundle will cost less than buying three separate wide-angle lenses.
