    • Minimum Focal Length: 28 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)

Also, when the dedicated fisheye converter (SEL057FEC) is attached, the Exif lens name is recorded as "FE 16mm F3.5 Fisheye."

A: Hi RichardBoboljov, the Sony FE 28mm F2 does have auto-focus capability. You can use this lens both in auto-focus and manual focus mode by changing the focus setting on the camera body.

    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.
