Overview

The Zenitar 28mm f/2.8 MC is a manual-focus prime lens known for good central sharpness at f/2.8, but corners are soft and improve only when stopped down (OpticalLimits). Chromatic aberration and distortion are moderate. Build quality is solid with a metal barrel and smooth focus ring, though the aperture ring has no click stops (OpticalLimits). It suits budget-conscious photographers who want a compact wide-angle for landscapes or street photography and don't mind manual operation and some optical compromises.
