    28–80mm · f/3.5–4.5

    Overview

    The Makinon 28-80mm f/3.5-4.5 MC is a fully manual zoom with all-metal construction and well-damped rings. It offers constant aperture across the zoom range, but is varifocal, meaning focus shifts when zooming. Optical quality is good stopped down past f/5.6, with some glow wide open and susceptibility to flare. It suits videographers who don't need zoom-while-recording and value build quality over convenience.
