About this product
Product Information
The Minolta Maxxum 28mm f/2.8 lens, a wide model for all Sony Alpha DSLR/DSLT and Minolta Maxxum SLR/DLR cameras, will allow you to enhance the performance in your photography sessions. With the Maxxum line, the heavy duty metal bodies of earlier Minolta models were abandoned in favor of lighter and less-expensive plastics. This lens uses the exact autofocus technology that Minolta purchased from Leica in the 1970s. This is a good, older-style choice of lens that was designed originally for 35mm film and works well with digital cameras.These Minolta wide-angle lenses are light and compact, making them very good accessories to keep in your gear bag when you are on the go. They have a glossy black finish, and there are textured rubber inserts around the perimeter to give you a good grip. The lenses are 2.56 inches in diameter, 1.69 inches long, and weigh a scant 6.5 ounces.The optic elements in this wide-angle lens consist of five multi-coated elements in five groups. The coatings improve light transmission and help to reduce flare and ghosting. This is a prime lens, with a focal length of 28mm on a full-frame camera and an APS-C equivalence of 42 mm. It gives you a generous angle of view of 75 degrees in full-frame format and 50 degrees in APS-C format. One of the first things you will notice when you use this Minolta model is that it focuses very quickly, even in low light. This makes it a very good lens for indoor photographs or outdoor shots where the lighting is not ideal. The autofocus action is also very quiet, which is convenient when you need to stay in the background. The length of the lens changes when it is focusing, but the 49 mm filter ring does not rotate. This means that you can use filters that need to be in a particular orientation to be effective, like polarizing filters.The focus distance window on this 28mm lens shows both feet and meters. Its minimum focus distance is just under one foot. Also in the window, you will find depth of field marks and a red dot on the f-stop scale that functions as the infrared index mark. This dot helps you find the right focal range when you are using infrared black and white film. Although this is an autofocus lens, you can focus it manually if you’d like. It is very easy to turn with just a finger and thumb, and just a quarter turn takes you from close-up to infinity. You can achieve a maximum magnification of .13x with this Minolta AF 28mm f/2.8 model.The aperture of these lenses is defined by seven straight blades. You can choose an aperture size from the minimum of f/22 to the maximum of f/2.8. The lenses produce low distortion, and you can expect sharpness in your photo from corner to corner at most of the f-stop settings. Their performance is particularly good, however, at f/5.6 and f/8. You can expect sharp photos with very good color and pleasing bokeh at these f-stops. If you find yourself outdoors with one of these lenses when the light is too bright, you can use its built-in hood to cut down on glare.
