An Undesirable
My Hexanon 28mm f2.8 has unfortunately received a nasty bash to the coupling and will need some specialist attention. Whilst it's away I'm very tempted to replace it and sell it once fixed. This lens has never produced the goods in the way I had hoped as it seems fairly characterless and a little vague i.e an image shot with it can be technically sharp but have no real punch, appear a little soft but have no character in it's soft rendering. Perhaps this whole description is soft and a little vague buts it's very hard to describe what I feel is missing. I use it predominantly on my M8 as a loose 35mm and would be looking to replace it with a good performer on that camera.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a punchy 28mm? Does Zeiss have anything worth considering or perhaps there's a cheap unknown gem out there?
Apologies for another 'what lens thread' but this forum does excel at informed lens comment and examples!
