Thanks for your valuable opinion.
Interesting.
How come ” Sony 28mm f/2.0″ has “Max Aperture: f/2.8” ? It’s so obvious…
read again….
whatever happened to the ability to upvote comments without log-in?
F2.0, not 2.8…. Just wondering, 9 dia blades, is that true?
The picture clearly shows f2.8. OMG!
chap, just in case you arent joking: 28 deciphers the focal length… no need to thank.
LMFAO. You guy are too funny!
come on it doesn’t matter if it’s 2,0 or 2.8
who doesn’t know the difference is buying it anyway. after all it’s a sony. 😉
2.8 comes with a lower price tag > essential for the market.
is this AF? and is this weathersealed?
Uwc: €329 http://www.aldana-foto.com/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/P154105.jpg
Fisheye: €349 http://www.aldana-foto.com/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/P154100.jpg
so it became a G lens to non G and then to a FE 2.8????
Oopsm 28mm F2. sorry
It never was a G.
Its a play off of the earlier report.that it was a G. Andrea has more typos with the specs on this lens than all the others combined.
I hope that’s not rubber ribbing on the 28mm
Why so much confusion when the image clearly shows f/2?
In the specs it is written “Max Aperture: f/2.8”. Some people are text oriented.
449eur is overpriced. Should be $300usd.
Should be $100 and f0.85 with OSS and it weighs too much.
@MdB
lol don’t forget a minimum focusing distance of 2cm
Yep, some will never be satisfied.
This lens has no competitors at 450. The canon lens is from 2005, I don’t think it should be compared to this. There is no point asking for less. Why not complain that you don’t have to pay but rather get some cash buying this thing? Or maybe f/0.4, 5 Axis IS? Perhaps?
Nikon 28 1.8 is much more expensive…
The Minolta AF 28/2 is between $375 and $575 on the used market and then add $250 for the LAEA4.
If this lens is anywhere near as good as the Minolta, it will be priced just right.
it is not.
one never knows .. myNameIsCondor could be Sony sales rep 🙂
LOL
Price is right, specs are right, it would probably perform great on a smaller-than-A7 full-frame camera with 5-axis stabilization.
It can be a better alternative of 35 2.8… and maybe better coupled with the 55 1.8
28, two converters and 55mm 1.8. Perfect set up outside of wildlife or portrait work.
I’ll wait for a 100/105 f2!As the awesome old minolta 100 f2
I hear ya. I have plenty of long lenses. Although, a 100mm F2 would be stellar.
so the 35 2.8 is more expensive than the 28f2. Does this mean this lens is lower quality? Generally these things are priced at what the market will bear in relation to aperture and image quality.
I notice the 35 is Zeiss branded and this isn’t.
No. The 35/1.8 normal sony branded emount lens is sharper than the Zeiss 24/1.8. People who want a blue badge thats looks cool pay more. Zeiss doesn’t meant better IQ when it comes to emount lenses.
What? Do you compare a 24mm with a 35mm? A 35/1.8 is far simpler to design and correct than a 24/1.8. I own the 24/1.8. It is not perfect, but it is an outstanding lens and worth every penny. If there is a premium for the blue Zeiss badge, than it is minimal. Just my opinion.
Either way, your comparison makes no sense whatsoever.
Just the sign Zeiss is worth more than the lens 🙂
I don’t think so. The 35mm f2.8 is a very sharp lens from f2.8 itself.
I am sure the 28mm f2 won’t be a bad performer but it may need not match the contrast and sharpness levels of the 35mm f2.8.
The 28mm f2 can be made more versatile with the matched converter.
Thats exactly what I was thinking. Is it worth 1 stop of light for the contrast/sharpness/extra width is the question. Plus it might drive the used prices of the 35mm lenses down.
Well its highly possible that the 28mm f2 can match the 35mm f2.8 in sharpness. 28mm and f2 isn’t going to be some exotic design that requires a ton of corrections so yes hopefully the 35mm f2.8 can reduce in the used market.
Honestly such a slow prime should have been priced much lower.
