In this highly detailed review of the Sony FE 28mm f/2 Lens I will do my best to show you what it is capable of in the real world and lab. I will first show you the gear and how the conversion lenses mount/ release. Then onto real world sample photos and much more....

The "lab" you built with the circuit boards, crayons, and coins is really, really cool!

Exactly what I was after in a review - real world testing and loaded with comparison images in lightroom - great work J!

Thanks very much!!! I was not completely sure of buying this lens, but it will be perfect for my gimbal. And after seeing this video, I definitely will get the sony converters. One of the best tips in youtube ever!

Thanks Jay for all your time and effort, i enjoy your reviews and comments. It was nice of you to show off loads of nice example pics too. Just ordered the 28mm f2 for my a6300 and the fisheye maybe on the cards now!

The best review of the Sony FE 28mm f/2. The barrel distortion is the easiest thing to be corrected digitally without any quality problem. So it isn't a big issue with the Sony FE 28mm f/2.0. The vignetting is easy to be corrected too but can reduce slightly the quality at the corners. The chromatic aberration is harder to be corrected digitally and the result isn't t always perfect.
The price of adapters may seems high but are really cheap for a full frame camera. Of course they deteriorate the quality and I suggest to be used only with bright light at f/8.

I think you need to make it clear to people that the distortion is very easily corrected in RAW. The JPEGs are the exact same photo as the RAW files but corrected in-camera. This is an excellent lens and super sharp, an excellent value.

At first, I thought I was about to watch a Mat Grangier review with the music! Thanks for a great review..

[plantsandramen]

Thanks for the review, I really like how you seem like a pretty mellow and positive person. Keep it up!

[aristones]

Got the 28mm f2 and I think it's a pretty sharp lens for a Sony Lens. Just got the 21mm ultra wide last night and did a time lapse using the app. It's a pretty nice combo, and I'm glad I got it both.

The conversion converter looks great:: + the leever.

[juanmarmolejos]

Great review! Is it possible to use a filter between the lens and the conversion ? Thanks

[evilwarlock]

Great review, one of the best I've seen! Is there anything that you'd add up now, 2 years later? Thanks.

[MOBHouse]

you should show how people can correct the distortion in Lightroom with just 1 click. Most people might get misguided by the repeated comparison between the jpeg and RAW files/

[MegaNardman]

excellent review. This was very helpful for me!

[GetOutsideYourself]

Hey man, nice review.  You almost lost me explaining the function of the drawstrings on the case, but you more than made up for it with the excellent sample pictures that do a great job showing lens performance.

[RangerRickTV]

do you lose any clarity with the ultra wide lens? video or photos?

[NLMusique]

Great video.
If you use the 21 mm, will you reduce the aperture of the lens down?

[metz]

just bought all three for my sony a7s ii this review helped a lot.
thanks

[Tzadeck]

Seems like a good bargain on a system really lacking in good bargains.

Hi Jay, amazing video as usual.
Do you think this lens will have the same distortion when mounted on the a6000 ?? Considering it will act as a 42mm lens so no longer a wide angle. Thanks
