Carl Zeiss Distagon 28/2.8 I love this lens. I assume it's durable. I don't even know why they ask that. It's such a beautiful focal length, wide, but not so wide you can't see anything. I feel so comfortable with it. I know people say we naturally see in 35mm focal length, but I think 28mm is closer. It has a spaciousness to it, a feeling of not being hemmed in, like a feeling of freedom. It's just this side of the Super-Angulon. It's really nice without being kind of I hate to say overdone, because I love the Super-Angulon, but almost enough is enough. I think 28mm is really nice and I could live with it for a very long time.
One of the best 28mm out there One of the best 28mm lens one could get for full frame cameras. Use cases exclude non stabilized night photography (due to 2.8 aperture) and where extreme corner sharpness is required, where a similar Nikon with floating element would be better.
Heavy but Sturdy This is a very well constructed lens, both mechanically and optically. It is larger and heavier than other 28mm lenses of this aperture. But on the positive side, this makes it easier to adjust the focus and aperture.
