Overview

The Focal 28mm f/2.8 MC Auto lens is a cheap, all-metal manual lens from the 1980s, likely made by Haking or Cosina. Its build is solid and compact with smooth, tactile controls. However, optical performance is very poor: extremely soft, low contrast, heavy chromatic aberration, and wild color rendering. It suits budget-conscious photographers seeking a quirky, character-filled lens or a paperweight, but those wanting decent image quality should consider alternatives like the Samyang 28mm f/2.8.
