price paid:	missing
positive:	Size and weigth. Minolta colors.
negative:	Not as sharp as the other primes. Flare control not as good as the other primes. Fiddly lens hood Cornes are not really sharp, would be OK at f8.
comment:	Sold after got an 28 2,0. The 2,0 has a lot of better corner sharpness open and in the whole range compared to the 28 2,8. But the 28 2,8 is still a cheap and good staring lens.
