    Sharp f2.8 lens4.0/5

    Sharp f2.8 lens I use this lens on my Sony Ax with an adapter. It is very sharp, decent wide as a FF lens on FF camera. I do a lot of indoor with the f2.8 aperture. I have no trouble with the focusing. f2.8 help me a lot. I have other 28mm with f3.5. too, but I like this one better.Too bad I can't put it on the Canon 6 D. Besides, it is inexpensive to own such a good quality lens. The only problem is all manual. For the people learning photography from ground up, it should not be a problem at all. The 28mm with f2.8 beats all kit lenses.

    Good starter 28 prime4.0/5

    Good starter 28 prime This is a great starter prime lens for film making, but unless stopped down the sharpness leaves your image soft and appears as thou it is out of focus. Manual controls are great, but would prefer a declicked Aperture.

    Great lens, sharp and beautiful bokeh5.0/5

    Great lens, sharp and beautiful bokeh love vintage lenses for video work and portrait. Works great on my Canon 6D and Canon 5D Mark II with adaptors
