Overview

The Mitakon MC 28mm f/2.8 is a vintage lens from the late 70s/early 80s, originally sold under the Mitake name. Optically, it is sharp even wide open (cbass) with decent coatings, but corner sharpness at infinity and f/8 is only decent, not excellent (Alun Thomas). Build quality is typical of the period—well made mechanically (Alun Thomas). Its unique 1:4 macro capability is a key feature (cbass). It suits users seeking a cheap, vintage 28mm with close-focus ability, especially on APS-C where corner issues are less pronounced (cbass).
