Depending on your subject, that may not matter, since you're using the

The fact that it's a manual unit does make it slow to operate, and best for

than AF.S (single).

It appears that the brand of your 28mm is Focal. I've seen the name before,

with knowledge of lens mechanisms: does a constant-aperture

The FA 28-70 f4 is light, sharp, and inexpensive. There should be similar
