    Overview

    The Kiron 28-210mm f/3.8-5.6 MC Macro is a versatile super-zoom from the 1980s, built by Kino Precision Industries. Optically, it equals or exceeds prime lens resolution at 105mm and 200mm, with favorable results at 28mm (Modern Photography via Film Photography Project). Weaknesses include slow aperture and weight, making low-light focusing difficult. Build quality is high, typical of Kiron's premium line. It suits budget-conscious photographers seeking a walk-around lens for daylight use, but not for low-light or action.
