Brightin Star 28mm f/2.8 Pancake

The Brightin Star 28mm f/2.8 is an ultra-compact micro-pancake lens that pushes the boundaries of pancake lens design. In the center of the image, the lens shows considerable sharpness and detail rendition even at open aperture with pronounced micro-contrast and natural color reproduction. However, sharpness decreases significantly toward the edges, making it a niche lens for photographers who value compactness above all else and are willing to compromise on optical performance. With decent optical performance even wide open at f/2.8 and an attractive black paint over brass build, photographers will likely appreciate its well-thought-out handling.
