| comment: | I first saw this lens being sold on eBay and Amazon under the Veledge brand name. It is now also being sold under the Neewer and Mcoplus brands. I purchased a Neewer branded copy from the same seller I've bought most of my Neewer lenses from. It is a bit longer than the Kaxinda/Meike/Neewer 28 F2.8 pancake lens but several mm shorter than the Rokinon AF FE 35 F2.8. The body is styled like the Neewer 35 F1.2. "MADE IN CHINA" The image quality is much better than the $35 mini C-mount Fotasy 35 F1.6 and somewhat better than the Kaxinda 35 F1.7, but nowhere near as good as the $45 E-mount Fotasy 35 F1.6 APS-C (3516E) or the Zeiss Touit 1.8/32. There seems to be a alignment problem with this copy with a directional glow wide-open. If the alignment was corrected this would be a decent lens. Unbranded front and rear caps were included. Just like the 35 F1.2 there are three lobes on the front of the focusing barrel that seem to be for a optional bayonet hood. The filter threads and hood bayonet do not rotate but do extended with focus. |
