SLR Magic 28mm f/2.8 Lens with 1:1 Macro for Sony NEX

Unread post by pakodominguez »

So, Adorama is carrying this lens since... today.

I went to the store in order to look at it from closer. Brief: it is a toy lens, don't expect corner's sharpness and the "macro" label is really, really optimistic. If you want to order one call to the store and try to get free shipping or a small discount because the lens doesn't worth 150$ You can probably get the same "satisfaction" from the Holga lens for NEX you can find on eBay for 20+$

Regards
Pako

That's too bad. I've seen downsized photos posted that looked OK. For this FL, the best bet may be to wait for the Sigma and see what that looks like. Seems relatively compact, if not a pancake.
