About this product

Product Information

When you're on the search for quality lenses for your EOS Canon FD SLR camera, consider the Vivitar Canon FD 28 mm f/2.8 lens. It is a great choice for the FD lens due to its compact size, speed, and lightweight. Whether you're looking to shoot portraits, landscapes, panoramas, or up-close nature shots, this product will help you complete the job. These 28mm wide-angle lenses are designed to function best when shooting landscape or group photos. You can get sharp pictures with the f/2.8-16 aperture range because it allows more light into your photo's resolution. Plus, you can set a focus with a minimum of just 9 inches. This lens will not weigh your camera down at a mere 5.8 ounces; its length is 1.5 inches, so it easily fits into a camera bag for portability.Vivitar Canon made a high-quality product via this specialized sub-brand name under the Canon umbrella. This wide-angle lens comes with a back cap and a glare-free lens filter in the front. It is designed to protect your investment with a comfortable weight balance. With the addition of specialized accessories like an adapter, you can use this lens with your mirrorless cameras. The five aperture blades are quick, and the focusing ring moves smoothly. You will be impressed with the bokeh, the color and contrast, and the soft resolution. With rapid, eyes-free mounting and a durable polycarbonate construction, this lens will earn a place in your regular rotation.These Canon 28mm lenses can be adjusted down to a minimum of just 9 inches. The FD manual mount is a predecessor of the EF automatic lens mount. This FD mount fits all manual focus Canons from 1970 and on, except for a Canon EF type of course. This 28mm will fit other brands such as the Nikon, Sony, OM, Pentax, and Leica using available adapters. For those who have upgraded to a Canon EOS or an SLR, the newer models will accept this 28mm lens with readily available adapters. Composed of seven air-spaced elements, it possesses contrast, resolving power and boasts a judicious arrangement to reduce spherical aberration. For Canon enthusiasts who want to add filters or other accessories, the thread and filter size of this lens is 52mm. Keep in mind that these lenses are manual with a focal length of 0.13x magnification. The optical formula is 7 elements in a 7 group. This macro lens is good for indoor use and street photography. It makes small indoor spaces appear larger, and it also give the street photo an up-close-and-personal touch. It boasts an optically pure wide-angle view. Due to the arrangement, distortions are almost non-existent, and the spherical aberration is virtually 100% corrected. This is a great 28mm FD for controlling ghosts, flares, and color fringing when you're shooting in unique environments.

  • Very sharp manual focus lens that can focus extremely close. My go-to lens if I only can take one!

    I adapted this lens to Micro Four Thirds cameras and the images it can take are very sharp, rivalling modern lenses. Not as compact as a native M43 lens but I like how it gives a 3D kind of render of the image where the background s just out of focus. Not exactly what I would call a creamy bokeh but still very pleasant. Great lens, tightly built, smooth focusing.

  • An excellent lens.

    Nicely made durable lens. I put it on a micro 4/3 camera and found its IQ to be excellent. The close focus feature gives more options without having to change lenses.

  • useful with the right adapter.

    I got this as a 'prime' lens to use with my digital Lumix G5 micro 4/3's camera system. Since I already have a collection of old 35mm Canon equipment, I can use it there, as well. The stock lens that came with my G5 has a max apt. of F3.5, so this gives me an option in low-light situations.

  • A gamble on an old lens

    These lenses are too old to be reliable. You could get a bargain or be sadly disappointed. This sample had a aperture that did not work.

    It's a great lens and for the price!!! You can't go wrong but what I did enjoy the most it's his manual focus rings.
