Sony FE 28mm f/2

(7 customer reviews)

This camera glass is a wide-angle photographic lens that has a high aperture value, which means it can capture bright and sharp images. It has an autofocus system and can be used on full-frame cameras. The lens has 9 aperture blades, which helps to create pleasing bokeh in the background. It is 60mm long and weighs 200 grams, making it easy to carry around. The lens has a 49mm filter diameter, which is close to the next standard filter size. The lens elements are coated to reduce flare and ghosting, resulting in clear images. The lens is well-built and has a high resolution, making it a good option for landscape and street photography. The manufacturing time is not mentioned, but there are alternatives available for those who want a different focal length or aperture value.

Positives:
The Sony FE 28mm f/2 camera lens offers pro features at a reasonable price point. It is a versatile lens that can be used for video and still photography, making it a great all-around lens. The Optical SteadyShot (OSS) function is outstanding in keeping your image steady, and the zoom is quick and responsive. The lens has a wide zoom range, which allows me to keep it on for most video shoots. One of the standout features of this lens is that it is parfocal, which enables me to maintain the focus when zooming in or out – a huge plus for video work.

Negatives:
While the Sony FE 28mm f/2 lens is a solid performer, its build quality could be improved. The lens feels a bit flimsy, which may not hold up against frequent and heavy use. Additionally, the lens has noticeable distortion and vignetting when shooting wide open at f/2, which can be tricky to correct in post-production.

Conclusion:
Overall, I recommend the Sony FE 28mm f/2 camera lens for anyone looking for a versatile, all-purpose lens that can be used for both video and still photography. It is a great value for its feature set, but keep in mind the lens’s limitations when shooting wide open. While the build quality is a bit flimsy, it should still hold up well for casual use. The added bonus of being parfocal is a huge plus for video work, making this lens a solid choice for any content creator.

    Great power zoom video lens for Mirrorless Cameras I’ve used this on FS700 camcorders and a7iii cameras. It works very well on both. Performs like an ENG style camcorder lens with smooth variable speed power zoom. The three rings for focus, zoom and f stop make it just like an old school camcorder. F4 works very for low light and bokah on mirrorless cameras. The lens looks and performs like a professional lens. Well worth the money if you can find one! Optical stabilization works great even when on a tripod which is where this lens belongs. It’s heavy and has some very quality glass. I love the super slow zoom speed. Great lens for weddings and events where you want a super slow and smooth zoom.

    Sony’s 28-135 FE PZ F4 G OSS E-Mount Lens is a tremendous bargain! I purchased this lens for my new Sony PXW-FS7 because it allowed complete communication with the camera for iris, zoom and focus control. It’s proved to be an excellent value for the money. My initial tests show it to be extremely sharp and interestingly the f4 maximum iris still allows short depth of field to put backgrounds slightly out of focus for interviews with only a few feet between the subject and the background. This is due undoubtedly to the super 35, 11.6 mp full frame sensor in the camera, so the combination works great. Sony has a winner in this one.

    Sony Cinema Lens totally worth it. Great Slow smooth zoom. It also activates the Clear Image Zoom in Sony cameras seamlessly.

    Easily use with focus and zoom motors on remote gear. You will still need a gimbal type stabilizer when going into Zoom. A+ lens.

    Great video lens Great addition to the video arsenal. Image is sharp, awesome range, great picture. Manual control over everything, though the zoom takes some getting used to. Autofocus is quick and accurate. It is a heavier lens, but for everything it offers, it’s certainly not a huge downfall. I got great results shooting handheld.

    Pro features at a good value A good all-around lens for video and even a few stills. OSS does a great job keeping the image steady, the zoom is quick and responsive, and the zoom range means I can keep this lens on most of the time when doing video. Did I mention it’s parfocal?! Another plus.
