Its 28mm focal length is a classic choice for capturing expansive landscapes, immersive street scenes, and environmental portraits with an appealing degree of perspective.
Known for its excellent sharpness when stopped down and its quality build, the 28mm f/2.8 ADG is a functional, lightweight piece of vintage glass that remains highly relevant today, especially when adapted for use with modern mirrorless cameras. The manual operation grants the photographer full, tactile control over focus and aperture, encouraging a more deliberate and creative photographic process. Compatible with a wide range of Minolta MD-mount cameras—including popular models like the X-700 and XG-M—this lens represents a reliable and budget-friendly entry into wide-angle and close-up photography, providing distinctive vintage character in every frame captured.
