This lens does not support external filters Review: Teeny tiny marvel - For the price of it I had to buy one, I’ve always loved the 28mm focal length and wanted something small for my A7c. It came nicely boxed and I was impressed by the build quality. I’ve taken a few shots with it so far and I have to say I’m impressed. One shot I took you could count the hairs on the back of my hand. Autofocus isn’t really close and not the fastest but overall I can see this lens spending a lot of time on my camera Review: Awesome little lens - + small, slim and light + works with APS-C body + ease of use + well-made even considering its footprint + can produce sharp photos + autofocus is fast and spot on + there's a bit of noise but only when it's darker + gives your photos "vintage" look + will make your setup smaller + vignetting is easy to control + good color reproduction - almost no bokeh at f/4.5, photos look more out of focus - constant aperture of f/4.5, so you cannot change it - you have to open the lens before you turn on your camera, if you won't do this, lens may break after prolonged use ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | VILTROX | | Camera lens description | The VILTROX 28 mm f4.5 FE lens for Sony is a wide angle lens with a focal length of 28 mm and a light intensity of f/4.5.
