Overview

The Kenlock automatic 28mm f/2.8 is a compact, inexpensive manual-focus lens with a macro facility (1:4.5–1:6). It delivers sharp images and vivid colors, even on overcast days. Build quality is basic, typical of amateur M42 lenses. Its main weakness is single-coating, which may cause flare. Best suited for budget-conscious photographers seeking a lightweight wide-angle for casual or macro use.
