A wide view with a strong visual character

The manufacturer’s official sample shows how the 28mm perspective keeps the environment in frame while letting the photographer work close to the action. At f/1.4, the lens can still separate a subject from a busy city scene.

From f/1.4 to more controlled rendering

A 14-blade diaphragm produces calm out-of-focus areas. The aperture ring switches between clicked operation for stills and a smooth, declicked movement for video, across an f/1.4–f/16 range.

Street, close detail and motion

The optical design combines an aspherical and a low-dispersion element with high-refractive-index glass. This helps control colour errors and retain detail across varied lighting conditions.

Get closer at 0.4m

A 0.4m minimum focus distance extends the lens to textures, fine details and more intimate compositions. The manufacturer’s official example clearly demonstrates the difference from a conventional working distance.

Mechanical control without electronics

Focus and aperture are fully manual, with no electronic contacts or optical stabilisation. The grooved focusing tab supports quick, precise focus shifts, while the aperture ring offers clicked and declicked operation.
