At faster apertures very have a very sharp center, the rest of the image is noticeably less sharp but\u00a0it does not really deteriorate towards the corners<\/li>\n<li><strong>Zeiss Distagon 2.8\/28<\/strong> &#8211; At f\/2.8 and f\/4 it has a better midframe performance than the Sony FE lens but the corners are worse. At f\/8 the Minoltas are clearly inferior and 98% of the image is very sharp.\u00a0The last few pixels in the corners deteriorate quite a bit.<\/li>\n<li>Both <strong>Minoltas<\/strong> require f\/11 for good across the frame sharpness and the Zeiss is much better at faster apertures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h1>Conclusion<\/h1>\n<p>The Sony <strong>FE\u00a02\/28 performed remarkably well<\/strong> in this test, it has by some margin the best bokeh and it is as sharp as the Zeiss 2.8\/28 with even better corners. It also is the most flare resistant and it is one stop faster than the Zeiss with very similar results at f\/2 than at f\/2.8.<br \/>\nFor that you trade very high distortion and and higher LoCA. Ithink this is a good trade.<br \/>\nIt is also nearly as good at f\/2 as at f\/2.8 and it is the smallest and lightest lens in the test.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Zeiss Distagon 2.8\/28<\/strong>\u00a0managed to outperform the Sony in some aspects (CA control, midzone sharpness at f\/2.8) and it has of course much less Distortion. I think this is a remarkable performance\u00a0for a\u00a030-years-old lens.<br \/>\nWith the Distagon the tradeoff is quite nervous bokeh.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Minolta MC 2\/28<\/strong>\u00a0is faster than the other two manual lenses and it has nicer bokeh but it is not super\u00a0sharp. I still think it is an interesting lens.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>Minolta MD 2.8\/28 <\/strong>showed an unremarkable performance but it is\u00a0very cheap and quite small.<\/p>\n<p>So all in all I think the Sony FE 2\/28 is the winner of this comparison, <a title=\"Sony FE 2\/28 \u2013 Rolling Review\" href=\"http:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/sony-fe-28mm-2-what-we-know-so-far\/\">check out my review<\/a> for more samples images and some more information.<\/p>\n<p>This site contains affiliate links.
