Promura-Gekkor 28mm f/2 MC Auto

A tidy relatively fast and small unobtrusive lens for the mirroless 7R3 or other body. Lightweight reasonably fast lens that is unobtrusive. I'd been using Leicas for street, documentary work since my first purchase in Turkey in 1959 while in the USAF. Lens used the most was 35mm but wanted wider. Went through 3 bodies with 3 focal lengths. This year, 2019, decided to go to the SONY 7R3 with this f/2 28mm lens. Fantastic for street work! I have to say that this beats the Leica film cameras hands down. And for the money, now at a fixed income, cannot possibly go to Leica digitals. I've adapted some Canon digital lenses for longer focal lengths and zooming but this little lens is my favorite to carry anyplace I go. The large sensor allows huge blowups so a long lens is not really necessary for street work.

Sharp little lens This lens takes very sharp photos for the price. Any distortion is easily fixed afterwards. It's small and light and is perfect for walking around doing street-type photography. This is a much better lens than Sony the kit lens it will replace. Focus seems accurate when it locks. The focus ring is nice and wide and operates smoothly, and I like using it. If there is a con, I would say using manual focus could be easier (or more smoothly to be more specific). If you are already close and turn the focus ring too fast, it's easy to overshoot. This seems to be a common problem with all focus-by-wire lenses.

Don't Believe Everything You Read I was a little hesitant when I decided to buy this lens. I read some reviews that said the distortion was terrible. I ordered it anyway and I am very glad I did. This is an excellent lens and great as a landscape, street, or walk-around lens. On my Sony A7II, it produces beautiful color and sharpness. Distortion? Almost non-existant. Photoshop has a lens correction for the lens and it's hardly necessary. I highly recommend the FE28/2 lens.
