A compact, classic wide-angle prime for travel, street photography, landscapes, and everyday film shooting.
The Minolta MD 28mm f/2.8 is a wonderfully useful lens for photographers who want to show more of the scene without going dramatically wide. On a Minolta manual-focus film body, its 28mm perspective is great for walks around town, travel, architecture, environmental portraits, landscapes, and the everyday moments that benefit from a little more context in the frame.
Its compact size makes it especially easy to keep on a camera, while the f/2.8 maximum aperture offers a nice balance of low-light flexibility and portability. Like other Minolta MD lenses, it delivers the tactile, deliberate experience that makes manual-focus photography so enjoyable. It can also be adapted to many mirrorless digital camera systems with the appropriate adapter.
