Lens Showdown: Vintage 28mm f/3.5 Lenses Compared and Tested | Round Glass Review

This video puts six vintage 28mm f/3.5 lenses through some rigorous tests to find the best. This video tests the Canon 28mm f/3.5 S.C., Konica Hexanon AR 28mm f/3.5, Minolta MC Rokkor 28mm f/3.5, Nikon Nikkor 28mm f/3.8, Olympus G.Zuiko Auto-W 28mm f/3.5, and the Pentax SMC-K 28mm f/3.5. Excepting the Konica, these are all 70s lenses, most hailing from the middle of the decade. The Konica design is about ten years older. This does put the Konica at a disadvantage, but in some ways the Konica still has captivating and interesting performance.
