    Small, Solid and Sharp

    So I did a test, put on my 55mm 1.8 Zeiss, then put this little beauty on. Its a perfect compliment, length wise, however sharpness and color quality are near identical. Looks pretty much the same as noted as one of the best lenses out there according to DxO, the 55mm. This 28 is probably the best bang for your buck. Now I do mostly all video, the focus ring and compactness of this are exactly what I was looking for. On the picture side, its the same. Creates beautiful stills. I HIGHLY recommend this lens for any a7 series owner, hands down.

    Excellent image quality.

    Was looking for a prime wide angle lens and decided to go with this one. Sharp pics all around. Great investment. I use it on my Sony A7ii. This lens is on my camera 90% of the time.

    Compact and light.

    Very nice lens! Got a nice deal on an open box deal, it was missing the front lens cap though. This lens is compact, light and pretty sharp wide open, not Zeiss 55mm sharp but sharp enough, stop down to f2.8 it's even better. AF is pretty snappy, in low light it hunts a little, but not too bad. Color rendition is pretty good, not as contrasty as the Zeiss, but it's not bad at all. This is a great less expensive alternative to the 35mm f2.8 Zeiss, and almost as compact. For street photography, it's awesome, and even for wide portraits. I'm really enjoying this classic focal length lens. Definitely worth picking one up if you like this focal length.

    Great walk about prime

    I tried using my sony A7II with older MF lenses for a while. They work, but I had some shots that were out of focus. I bit the bullet and shelled out the $ for this lens. I mostly use wide angle and prefer to get up close, mostly events and festivals. I wish I’d have bought it sooner.

  • Will it do well on the a3000?

    Hi Rikki, the lens will work on the a3000 with some exceptions : The SteadyShot is not supported. When a dedicated ultra-wide converter (SEL075UWC) is attached, the Exif lens name is recorded as "FE 21mm F2.8." Also, when the dedicated fisheye converter (SEL057FEC) is attached, the Exif lens name is recorded as "FE 16mm F3.5 Fisheye."
