    18–28mm · f/4–4.5

    Overview

    The Exakta Varioplan 18-28mm f/4-4.5, a Samyang-made lens, offers sharp center performance but suffers from heavy vignetting, field curvature, and poor infinity sharpness, especially at 18mm (ManualFocus-G). Build quality is basic, and it is often available cheaply (Attila). It suits users seeking a fun, characterful lens for close-up or portrait work, but not for critical landscape or infinity shooting (56 DIN).
