This is a description of a vintage wide-angle lens. It features a fully manual operation, a relatively fast f/2.8 aperture, and a 28mm focal length. The lens was manufactured by Toyo Optics and utilizes a multi-coating (MC) to reduce flare and improve image contrast. This type of lens typically requires the user to manually focus and set the aperture.
Such lenses were commonly used in film photography and offer a unique aesthetic and tactile experience. Their appeal lies in the hands-on control they provide over the image-making process and their potential to produce images with distinctive character. They represent a period in photographic history where optical design and mechanical precision were paramount.
