Includes entire-frame images up to 24 megapixels as well as large crops from f/2 through f/13.
The Sony 28mm f/2 is quite sharp, but I have some reservations about its excessive distortion because correcting that distortion degrades image quality in peripheral areas. But it offers a strong performance overall, and any JPEG shooter need have no concern at all about the distortion—just enable distortion correction in camera and poof no issue.
Still, I don’t feel any urgency to buy it, unlikes the Zeiss Batis lenses. And yet a 28mm f/2 is a very nice focal length, and the lens is a perfect match for the Sony 35mm f/2.8 and Sony 55mm f/1.8 in terms of size/weight and performance style, all designed by Zeiss.
