An excellent lens! One of the best 28mm lenses I have ever used!

To me most of them are same, Konica, Nikon, Minolta Leica etc all are pretty much same. Probably I can't pickup any what is huuh lot better than others. I think my favorite is Konica 28mm f3.5 silver nose lens.

I have two favourite 28mm lenses: the Voigtländer Ultron 2/28 (for the M8, my NEX cams and the V1) and the Minolta Rokkor 2/28 (EOS converted) for my EOS cams.
Both these lenses combine breathtaking image quality with a fast aperture!

(A little long for a NEX, though.)

On third place, I would put the Leica Elmarit-R 2.8/28 which is probably a tad better than the Rokkor but also a stop slower.
Unfortunately, I don't one one. Sad

Ah, wait, defintely the best 28mm I have ever used is the Leica Summicron-M 2/28 - a real gem of a lens!
Perhaps the best 28 ever!! (But also not mine. Crying or Very sad

)

Wow! An "M"? by LucisPictor, on Flickr

Those lenses are even better than the Zeiss Distagon 2/28 I had here for a test and wich is on rank 5 in my list:

Beautiful stuff! Can your post samples with each ? I am curios, once I had a faulty 2/28mm Distagon so not countable as experince, was bulky Sad
