Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. dose this come with a lens cap and a rear cap?

A: Yes.

Q: 2. How is the corner sharpness on this lens? And the ultrawide 21mm converter? I've seen mixed reviews.

A: I have been surprised by the quality on this lens - I may have a good copy, but corners have been fine for me. Distortion has been easy to fix (no profile in Adobe raw that I have seen). Build quality and overall rendering are a touch behind the zeiss branded 35 and 55. I have not tried to converter.

Q: 3. But, if I have Sony A7S2, can I zoom?

A: With any prime lense you cannot zoom, but the quality is that much better.

Q: 4. Does this product come with both the 90 degree tube and the straight lens tube?

A: Yes, the AstrHori 18mm f/8 90-Degree Direct View Macro Probe Lens (Micro Four Thirds) comes with both lenses.

Q: 5. Does this lens come with a lens hood? I do not see it listed, nor is it an option.

A: Yes it does, a little bayonet mount petal hood.

Q: 6. Does this focus to infinity?

A: yes it sure does! It's a very sharp lens and does focus fast and accurately from about 11.5 inches to infinity. This lens outperforms a lot of others - one of the sharpest sony makes and it's also one of the lowest priced. Can't recommend it enough. I pair it with the ultra wide 21mm adapter and get twice the use out of it. And I'm incredibly picky and a pixel nerd because I'm a retoucher and photographer by trade - so I don't say these things lightly. :)

Q: 7. Is the focusing/aperture action on the FE 28/2 louder than other FE lenses? Or is this unique to the used copy I just purchased? Focusing at f2.0, my copy is surprisingly loud with a bit of vibration/roughness. Its similar to screw drive lenses. Considerably less stealth than any of the other FE lenses I've used (55/1.8, 90/2.8, 28-70 kit). I'm considering returning it, but wonder if another (new) copy would be similar. Others have a similar impression? Any thoughts appreciated.

A: I just tested mine and it is nearly silent - certainly no louder than my 35 or 55, in fact a touch quieter than the 35, but all are very quiet.

Q: 8. Im looking into purchasing a ND filter for this lens on my a7sii so I can shoot in slog2 in the daytime without having over exposure issues. What size filter would be purchased?

A: I use a 49mm UV filter on my lens. Im sure the ND filter would be the same size.

Q: 9. How is this lens for astrophotography?

A: Great lens, very sharp. But most people prefer to have wider than 28mm for astrophotography.

Q: 10. How does this lens compare to the Sony FE 35 f2.8?

A: Hi--it's difficult to compare two lenses with different focal lengths, but these two are somewhat similar in optical quality, with the 28mm lens being somewhat better optically, as well as having a wider maximum aperture of f/2 vs f/2.8 for the 35mm lens.
