Lens Info - Osawa MC 28mm f2.8
OSAWA MC 28MM F2.8
The Osawa MC 28mm f/2.8 lens is a vintage manual focus prime lens known for its compact design and 3D pop. Produced during the film photography era, this lens features a 28mm focal length, offering a wide perspective suitable for landscape, street, and general photography. With a relatively fast maximum aperture of f2.8, the Osawa MC 28mm allows for decent low-light performance and creative depth of field control. Despite being a third-party lens, it is appreciated for its solid build quality and straightforward manual focusing. One thing I’ve come to love about this lens is it’s “3D pop” giving images an almost lifelike 3D feel to them. While not as widely recognized as some other lenses from its time, the Osawa MC 28mm f2.8 provides an affordable option for photographers seeking a vintage lens with a wide-angle perspective and a bit of character.
