  • Fast f/1.2 aperture captures bright low-light images
  • 28mm wide angle frames 75.4° for environmental storytelling
  • Two ED and two UHR elements minimise distortion and aberrations
  • Smooth manual focus ring enables precise critical sharpness

Versatile 28mm f/1.2 Prime for Sony E

This wide-angle prime lens mounts natively on Sony E-mount cameras and delivers an ultra-fast f/1.2 maximum aperture. It suits photographers who need shallow depth of field and strong low-light performance at a 28mm perspective. The 75.4-degree angle of view captures more environmental context than narrower 35mm or 50mm lenses.

Simple Mount-and-Shoot Manual Focus

The lens attaches directly to any Sony E-mount body with no electronic contacts or firmware steps required. Focus is entirely manual, so the operator turns the ring until the subject is sharp; there is no autofocus motor to hunt or misfocus. The 62mm filter thread accepts standard screw-in filters for creative control or protection.

f/1.2 Aperture Decides Low-Light and Depth

The f/1.2 maximum aperture is the single specification that determines whether this lens meets the need for extreme subject isolation and handheld night shooting. Buyers who need autofocus, weather sealing, or a slower maximum aperture to save weight should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the lens is performing as expected after mounting it on my Sony E camera?

Attach the lens, set the aperture ring to f/1.2, and take test shots in low light; sharp detail across the 75.4-degree field and smooth bokeh show the two ED and two UHR elements are working correctly.

What accessories are included and what must I purchase separately?

The lens ships with front and rear caps; any 62mm screw-in filters you want for bright-day shallow depth of field must be bought separately.

Which focal length suits my needs — 28mm, 35mm or 50mm?

The 28mm gives a 75.4-degree angle of view, wider than 35mm or 50mm, making it better for environmental portraits, street scenes and landscapes where you want more context around the subject.
