Disregard all the negative reviews youve read about this lens, the Sony SAL 28F28 its a GREAT lens on its own.

The lens is small, light and discrete, with a hidden hood built in it, may not be a big hood, but its better than nothing.

Most people and websites compare this lens with far more expensive wide angle lenses, making it a toxic mess to stay away from. SO NOT TRUE.

This lens is sharp, even at f/2.8, has a great DOF and bokeh even though its aperture blades arent circular.

On a APS-C sensor, this camera will yield a 42mm focal length, which sort of makes it a portrait lens rather than a wide angle, in APS-C sensors, you require a lens made specifically for that size of sensor if you need a wide angle. This lens its a full frame lens. If you need a wide angle on APS-C, look at the Sony 11-18mm, Sigma 10-20mm or Tamron 10-24mm or 11-18mm.

Despite that fact, this lens is great to work with indoors, its large aperture will help you get shots without a flash and will make portraits look stunning.

The only downside Ive seen to this lens its the filter size, 49mm, not very common if you plan to attach filters to it. I may be wrong though, look for filters this size if you will need them.

A great feature of this lens its that it allows you to shoot from very close to your subjects, its focusing distance allows you to get shots that borderline on macro, even though this isnt a macro lens.

This is a great lens if youre in a budget and you need a fast prime (fixed focal length lens), and even if youre not on a budget, this lens will yield beautiful results.
