AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I’m listing at auction this interesting Itorex 28mm f/2.8 wide-angle lens, a vintage third-party optic probably produced in the 1980s in Japan. The Itorex brand, while less well-known than the sector giants, distributed lenses with an excellent price–quality ratio, often characterized by solid all-metal construction that today is rare to find in inexpensive modern lenses.
The lens offers a fixed focal length of 28mm, a classic versatile wide-angle perfect for landscapes, architecture, and street photography, paired with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 that guarantees good brightness even in non-optimal lighting conditions. The optical design includes an anti-reflective coating (often indicated as MC or multi-coated on similar models) to improve contrast and reduce flare.
From visual analysis of the attached photos, the unit appears in good cosmetic condition, with sharp white lettering on the black barrel and the lenses seemingly free of evident scratches. It is a manual focus lens, ideal for those who want to experiment with “slow” photography on old film SLRs or to adapt it to modern digital mirrorless cameras to achieve that distinctive vintage look. The filter diameter is standard (probably 49mm or 52mm), making it easy to source accessories such as a lens hood or polarizing filters.
