Sony FE 28mm f/2 Lens

Sony FE 28mm f/2 Lens (Sony E)
Compact Wide-Angle Prime – Bright f/2 Maximum Aperture, 28mm Full-Frame Focal Length (42mm APS-C Equivalent), Advanced Optical Construction (One AA Element, Two Aspherical Elements, Two ED Elements), High-Speed Linear Autofocus Motor, Internal Focus (IF) Mechanism, Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm, Dust- and Moisture-Resistant Construction, Compatible with Optional Ultra-Wide (21mm) & Fisheye (16mm) Converters, Includes Front Cap, Rear Cap, and Dedicated Petal Lens Hood, Native Full-Frame Sony E-Mount (Excellent Condition)

The Sony FE 28mm f/2 is an agile, lightweight wide-angle prime lens engineered for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras (also functioning as a practical 42mm equivalent standard-wide optic on APS-C bodies). Balancing a sleek, pocket-friendly footprint with optical performance, this prime is designed for street documentation, architectural interiors, travel landscapes, environmental portraiture, and everyday walkaround capture. Its bright f/2 maximum aperture provides notable low-light capability for handheld shooting in dim conditions, while offering shallow depth-of-field control with smooth subject-to-background separation.

The optical design features 9 elements in 8 groups, incorporating two Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements, two standard aspherical elements, and one precision Advanced Aspherical (AA) element. This optical arrangement suppresses chromatic aberrations, color fringing, field curvature, and spherical distortion to produce consistent edge-to-edge sharpness and accurate color rendition. Autofocus is driven by a high-speed linear motor paired with an internal focusing mechanism, delivering swift, quiet, and responsive focus tracking suitable for high-speed stills and video work. For added creative versatility, the front barrel is designed to accept optional dedicated Sony ultra-wide and fisheye converters, converting the optic into a 21mm f/2.8 or 16mm f/3.5 lens. Sealed against dust and moisture, equipped with a 9-blade rounded diaphragm, and supplied with protective caps and a dedicated petal hood, this compact prime remains a dependable everyday asset.

CONDITION DIAGNOSTICS & PHYSICAL NOTES

Included Components: COMPLETE COMPACT PRIME OUTFIT. Supplied with the Sony FE 28mm f/2 lens, genuine Sony front snap-on lens cap, genuine Sony rear E-mount lens cap, and dedicated Sony petal-type bayonet lens hood (ALC-SH112). (Camera bodies, optical conversion adapters, and screw-in filters sold separately unless pictured).

Exterior & Barrel Status: EXCELLENT CONDITION. The matte black aluminum alloy barrel, ribbed focus ring, and bayonet mount show minimal signs of handling, with no deep scratches, dings, or noticeable finish wear. All focal length indicators, Sony badging, and mounting index marks remain crisp, white, and fully legible.

Optical Status: EXCELLENT CONDITION. Both front and rear external optical glass surfaces are pristine, clear, and completely free of scratches, scuffs, cleaning marks, haze, fungus, or element separation. The internal assembly contains a trace to minor amount of scattered dust typical of normal use; optical bench evaluation and sample image testing confirm that these dust specks do not impact contrast, resolution, or color neutrality across all aperture settings. Anti-reflective coatings remain fully intact.

Mechanical & Electronic Status: FULLY FUNCTIONAL. The internal linear autofocus motor acquires focus swiftly, accurately, and silently; full compatibility with Sony Fast Hybrid AF, Real-Time Eye AF, and Tracking operates smoothly; the electronic manual focus ring rotates with smooth, even damping; the rounded 9-blade diaphragm stops down cleanly without oil accumulation or sticking; electronic mount contacts communicate Exif metadata and in-body corrections reliably with Sony camera bodies with zero error codes.

KEY FEATURES & PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

Fast f/2.0 Maximum Aperture: Enables handheld shooting in low ambient light while delivering shallow depth-of-field control and pleasing subject isolation.

Versatile 28mm Wide Perspective: Captures an expansive 75-degree field of view on full-frame sensors, transitioning to an everyday 42mm equivalent normal-wide perspective on APS-C bodies.

Advanced Optical Architecture: Combines 1 Advanced Aspherical (AA) element, 2 standard aspherical elements, and 2 ED glass elements to suppress distortion, coma, and chromatic fringing.

Swift & Silent Linear AF Motor: Internal focusing system with a linear actuator delivers fast, quiet autofocus performance suited for high-speed stills and video.

Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm: Engineered with 9 curved blades to produce smooth, circular out-of-focus background blur and natural bokeh transitions.

Converter Lens Compatibility: Compatible with optional dedicated SEL075UWC (21mm ultra-wide) and SEL057FEC (16mm fisheye) converters for expanded wide-angle capability.

Weather-Resistant Construction: Built with internal seals to protect against dust and moisture during outdoor shooting in inclement weather.

Compact & Lightweight Profile: Weighs just 7.1 oz (200 g) and measures under 2.5 inches in length, making it ideal for compact travel setups and gimbal stabilization.

Complete Cap & Hood Kit: Supplied with front snap-on and rear protective caps alongside the dedicated petal bayonet hood to block stray off-axis light.
