Thank you for sharing this experience. I'm actually waiting for the full test.

I could not stop myself and bought this lens today. It will arrive tomorrow and look forward using it. I have the 45p lens wich u like very much but i wanted someting close to a 24 mm in fullframe equivalence. I like dynamic shots with someting in the foreground and stil having space around it and this lens can focus really close. Thanks for your review! I like that you bring your opinion very neutral and not overly enthusiastic like some others that always are positive about everything. But just realistic and critical.

Nice video, thank you for sharing

Have had mine on back order. I’m hoping it will come soon.

I really enjoy the style and pacing of your videos. New subscriber here from Australia. 🦘

This is a very attractive lens in terms of size und price. Thanks for the video. Maybay you can talk about vignietting and how the lens works with a speedlite and a strobe in the later review.

Thank you for this review and I am now looking at getting this lens for the X2D camera. These lenses seem to be difficult to acquire in UK but not in Scandinavia/Denmark. Goodness knows when the 90mm will become available. Interesting review - thanks again

I have the 28P after having owned the 30mm. I am still trying to figure out the best apertures for sharpness across the frame - it doesn't seem as consistently sharp as the 30mm, and interestingly may perform better wide open or close to wide open (I am used to stopping down to around f/8-f/11 for corner to corner sharpness). There may be some field curvature too. Still love it for its compactness and silent operation - great for shooting in urban environments. But for landscape shooting I think I would prefer the 30mm.

Love your reviews. Always wondered how hasselblad manages to make wide angle lenses with such small elements “glass” do you have an answer to that mystery 😅

Mine was too, then I found it in another shops listing, cancelled my order and bought the listed item. Just a bit og luck, hope you get yours soon.

I have the 45/P (and can still return within a few days), will be getting the 28/P for travel & street and good price. I am thinking of switching the 45/P for the XCD 38mm2.5, should I? The AF speed of the 38mm is only marginally faster than the 45P, I find. Since I now have the TechArt (it worked with the EF 100-400! Thank you!), I could, of course, just get a EF 40mm f2.8 like you. Is the EF 40mm why you did not seem to have the XCD 38mm? I am willing to have 1 good XCD lens in my bag, just not sure which one: XCD 25, 38, 55. (For tele, I am looking at one of the EF 85mm, and I already have the 100-400mm). For travel/street/food/close-up, I am thinking of either the 28mm (no stock), or 38mm (in hand). 45P (in hand) but much louder and slower than the 38mm.

really wonder how it stacks up against the H version 28mm. that was never my favorite lens of the lineup but it seems better than this one

How do you display the focus distance?

Hello Dear, I have heard of an issue the combo X1D2 + 28P. Have you notice a magenta color aberration on any of your photos ? Thank you for your response. I would like to invest in 28P, but that issu makes me hesitate.

I'm curious how does this compare with the 45P on the X1DII? Would it be worth changing?

Are the 28mm and 28mm p the same lens?

When you write "That means you can use flash at full power down to 1/4000" I have to wake you up from your dream. The 1/4000 will simply cut most of the flash power off in time when you shoot at 100%. If we, for ease, ignore the t-something spec of flash duration then the question stands, what speedlight or strobe has a flash duration at full power of 1/4000 sec? Almost all of its history Profoto was at 1/200 at full power and that's 20 times as long. In short, yes you can, but for your camera and studio pack strobe or speedlight, test it. You'll see that at some point the camera cuts the flash off. Is that a problem? Well it increases recycle time and a battery-fed system has less flashes at full power than at a reduced setting. Just make sure you have a strobe or speedlight that maintains consistency in flash power and colour temperature when you reduce flash power. Older Profoto and cheaper ones from the past are notoriously bad. AFAIK the first to have complete reliable control over this aspect was broncolor, but my Nikon speedlight has it too, and today's cheap Chinese speedlights from the Holy Cow [1] brand may have it too.

Only watching this video because I love 28mm lenses and wow so expensive for a 28mm f4. Cool lens but seems rather slow for a 28mm.
