The Super Lentar 28mm f/2.8 for Nikon F-Mount is a vintage, budget-friendly wide-angle prime lens built primarily during the 1970s and 1980s. Lentar was a distributor rather than a manufacturer, meaning these lenses were produced by various Japanese optical sub-contractors and rebranded for affordable consumer markets.
Key Specifications & Performance:
Focal Length & Aperture: A 28mm wide-angle perspective paired with a moderately fast f/2.8 maximum aperture.
Focusing: Strictly manual focus with an all-metal, standard vintage aluminum barrel construction.
Optical Character: Like many budget lenses of its era, it yields a soft, classic "vintage charm" wide open at f/2.8. Stopping down to f/5.6 or f/8 will noticeably sharpen the center image. It is known to produce unique background bokeh and flares when shooting directly into light sources.
