FE 28mm f/2 Lens for Sony E, Bundle with 49mm Filter Kit, Lens Case, Lens Cleaner, Cleaning Kit, Lens Cap Tether SEL28F20 EK

An excellent choice as a second lens, this full-frame 28mm wide-angle prime features a bright F2 maximum aperture and outstanding overall optical performance. Advanced optics and coatings with a 9-blade circular aperture deliver beautiful images. Internal focusing on a fast and quite linear actuator makes this lens ideal for both still and movie. C... moreircular Aperture When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the light sources appear blurred. This 'bokeh' effect of the blurred background can be enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens. Conventional aperture blades have flat sides creating unappealing polygonal shaped defocused points of light. alpha lenses overcome this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result. ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass / Super ED glass As focal lengths get longer, lenses built with conventional optical glass have difficulties with chromatic aberration, and as a result images suffer from lower contrast, lower color quality, and lower resolution. ED glass dramatically reduces chromatic aberration at telephoto ranges, and provides superior contrast across the entire image, even at large aperture settings. Super ED glass provides enhanced compensation for chromatic aberration. Aspherical lens elements Aspherical lens design dramatically reduces spherical aberration while also reducing lens size and weight. Spherical aberration is a slight misalignment of the light rays projected on the image plane. This is caused by differences in refraction at different points on conventional spherical lenses which degrade image quality in large-aperture lenses. Specially shaped "aspherical" elements near the diaphragm restore alignment of light rays at the image plane, maintaining high sharpness and contrast even at maximum aperture and can also be used at other points in the optical path to reduce distortion. Well-designed aspherical elements can reduce the total number of elements required in the lens, thus reducing overall size and weight. Internal focusing Only the middle groups of the optical system move to achieve focus, so the overall length of the lens does not change. Other important benefits include fast autofocusing and a short minimum focusing distance. Also, the filter thread at the front of the lens does not rotate, which is convenient if you're using a polarizing filter. Go even wider or fisheye with converters For even wider perspectives an optional Ultra-wide Converter (SEL075UWC) and Fisheye Converter (SEL057FEC) can be added to increase the angle of view to 21mm wide-angle or 16mm fisheye with full 180-degree coverage, respectively. Corresponding EXIF data is generated when these converters are attached to the lens, making data management easy.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Sony 28mm f/2.0 FE lens is a compact and versatile prime lens, ideal for landscape, architecture, and street photography. It offers excellent image quality at an open aperture and performs well on both full-frame and APS-C cameras, with faster autofocus on the latter due to phase detection. The lens is praised for its fast autofocus and good sharpness in the center of the frame, making it a great choice for both portrait and street photography. Despite its compact dimensions, it is robust enough to survive heavy rain, although it lacks official weather sealing. Some users note minor inconveniences such as a less convenient focus ring and slight distortion, but these are outweighed by its benefits. The lens's small front lens diameter allows for cost-effective filter use, and its affordable price makes it an excellent starter lens for Sony full-frame cameras.
Pros

Cons

Overall, a good starter lens for any FF Sony.

I bought A7s. This was the only one available for rent in my city. I took it for a month for projects and used it in tandem with the fe 50f1.8. In the end, I realized that this glass more than suits me in all respects and bought
Compact lens
Excellent image quality at an open aperture. For fullHD on the a7s, it's the perfect lens in terms of sharpness.
It provided accurate, smooth focusing when working with the a7s (even though that's not the camera's strong suit). I used it on both the a7s and APS-C cameras like the a6300/6500. It worked much faster on APS-C, but that's also due to phase detection autofocus.
Survived heavy rain (although no weather sealing is claimed).
Not the most convenient focus ring. I used a wide elastic band from China

Purchased a lens for portrait and street photography. A wide-angle converter can be added if the angle is insufficient. Excellent balance between focal length, aperture, and price.
Compact dimensions. Fast autofocus. Good sharpness in the center of the frame

Video reviews

A compact 28mm prime can replace three wide-angle lenses at once. But only in the case of purchasing special converters released exclusively for it: SEL075UWC (reducing the focal length to 21 mm) and SEL057FEC (“fisheye” by 16 mm).

Kid-robust

The diameter of the lens almost merges with the size of the bayonet mount of Sony mirrorless cameras, and its body length is only 6 cm. At the same time, all external structural elements are made of metal, including a wide manual focus ring. The interior of the lens is protected from dust and moisture by rubber seals, invisible to the eye from the outside.

Versatility

The 28mm focal length is universal for many genres of photography. For example, it is equally well suited for shooting landscapes, architecture and street photography. The interiors of buildings are also given to the lens quite well, especially given its high aperture, which allows you to shoot handheld in low light conditions without excessive bullying of ISO values.

Correction

Wide-angle optics, by their nature, suffer from geometric distortions. When shooting in JPEG, the in-camera distortion correction system successfully handles with them, but in RAW format, lines located close to the edge of the frame begin to noticeably bend. The camera also effectively corrects chromatic aberrations that occur at the edges of high-contrast image transitions when shooting at open apertures. Well, the vignetting effect that occurs in the same case is removed, if necessary, already in the photo editor.

Solid savings

The lens draws a juicy and contrasting picture, and it is also practically not affected by backlight. In addition to converters, filters can be used in conjunction with the Sony FE 28mm f / 2. By the way, the small diameter of the front lens (49 mm) allows you to significantly save on their purchase. And the lens itself will not hit your wallet hard, even if you take it together with one or two adapters — anyway, such a bundle will cost less than buying three separate wide-angle lenses.
