    Overview

    The Photax-Paragon 28mm f/2.8, also known as Super Paragon PMC, is a solidly built all-metal lens made by Cimko in Japan, likely licensed from Topcon. Optically, it delivers good resolution, colors, and definition, but is susceptible to flare when pointed into the sun. The aperture ring has full-stop clicks only, and focus goes down to 1 foot. It suits users seeking a well-made, affordable vintage wide-angle for adapted use on mirrorless or film cameras.
