The Sony FE 28mm f/2 is a compact and solid lens with a fast aperture of F2. It provides great sharpness and image quality, especially at the center, and it is fairly good value for money. However, it has noticeable barrel distortion, vignetting, and some issues with bright lights and contrast levels in bright light conditions.

The Sony FE 28mm f/2 is a compact and solid lens with a fast aperture of F2. It provides great sharpness and image quality, especially at the center, and it is fairly good value for money. On a full-frame camera, it delivers great sharpness with just a tiny bit of magenta color fringing in the image edges. The lens also works well on an APS-C camera, delivering fantastic sharpness in the middle with some softness in the corners, improving as you stop down the lens. However, it has noticeable barrel distortion, strong vignetting, and some issues with bright lights and contrast levels in bright light conditions. The bokeh is decent, although it has an edge of nervousness in almost every picture. Overall, the Sony FE 28mm f/2 is a good lens for the price, providing decent image quality and a smooth shooting experience, but it does have some drawbacks in terms of distortion and handling particularly in bright light.

The bokeh is decent, although it has an edge of nervousness in almost every picture.
