All the photos below are taken by SLR Magic 28mm f/2.8 lens users.
The SLR Magic 28mm f/2.8 lens is a multi coated manual prime lens that is made to work with the Sony NEX system for camera bodies such as the NEX-3, NEX-5, and NEX-VG10. Lens is in native E lens mount and will work directly on your camera!
 
What is really special about this lens is that it is very light weight (~280g) and has a unique rotational aperture disk. When wide open it produces silky smooth bokeh. When stopped down it still produces silky smooth bokeh. Whay? It is because the rotational apertrue disk ensures a perfectly round aperture opening at all times for the perfect bokeh. It is the signature of this SLR Magic lens and it is quite interesting

The lens is great for creative photography. We occasionally receive questions about how this lens differ from the kit lens. Field of view (FOV) becomes 42mm on the SONY NEX camera.  This is between wide angle and normal focal length in 35mm photography and is great for use in proper framing for a shot which may be difficult to master with the kit lens of your camera.   A perfectly round aperture is achieved at all times means great portrait photos can be achieved.

The lens is a fully manual lens and it is a great lens for creative photographers who would like to take artistic photos with a shallow Depth of Field. It is easy to use and we suggest you take a look at our REVIEWS section.

The size of the sweet spot is controlled by your aperture at the front of the lens.The wider the
aperture opening(f/2.8 is the widest),the smaller the sweet spot and the larger the
blurred/defocused areaes.The narrower the aperture opening(f/22 is the narrowest),the larger the
sweet spot and the smaller the blurred/defocused areas.This is the general concept but with SLR Magic Lens 28mm f/2.8 in the digital age we suggest yu to just keep on shooting without worrying too

much!
