Review: Great Manual Lens w/ a Small Profile - Great lens with very impressive build quality (you can feel the weight and durability of this lens). Given the slower autofocus speed of my camera, I was looking for a small manual focus lens for my Fuji X-E1 to remove that issue. The profile, appearance, and aesthetic is perfect. Purchased this along with the Fuji X lens adapter. I know this isn't the sharpest lens in my kit, but gives me exactly what I was seeking for this type of use, particularly for street photography and inconspicuous camera use. From some of the other feedback I've read about how the aperture can be unintentionally moved due to location of the control ring, I get that. My only suggestion would be to make that aperture adjustment clickable, rather than a smooth dial to ensure it stays on the aperture you're wanting. Highly recommend picking up the Brightin Star UV filter to cover the lens, too. Review: Nice lens. - Nice lens. Works well with the M2 to Fuji X adapter I purchased at same time as the lens. Nice sharpness and easy to use with focus peaking. I really like the lever for changing focus. Someone mentioned it is hard to change the f stop, but the outside of that ring is ribbed so easy for me to change with a fingernail. Only bad point is the tiny lens cap that is threaded on to the lens. Easy to get off but somewhat difficult to put back on. When finally you get the threads started it will on only thread on for about one turn. Lens is very good on colors and as mentioned it is nicely sharp. ## Features - 9.9mm Ultra-Slim Design: With an overall thickness of 21.5mm and a weight of 125g, this lens features a lightweight design that reduce the burden on your shooting setup. - 6 Elements in 5 Groups Optical Structure: Incorporating three high-refractive-index glass elements and one ultra-low dispersion glass element, it suppresses chromatic dispersion and aberrations. - Black-Painted Brass Craftsmanship: The lens body is crafted from solid brass.

Top notch customer service. The only real downside I’ve noticed is that when used wide open at maximum aperture, the lens is a bit soft toward the edges. I’m using it adapted (M to L), so it’s possible the adapter or sample variation contributes to some asymmetry, but unless you’re pixel-peeping it’s difficult to notice in real world use. Stopped down to f/4, the center of the image is very sharp, which is where I tend to leave it most of the time. The aperture control is a bit unconventional, but given how thin this lens is, it’s understandable... there simply aren’t many places to put it. I primarily use this lens on a Leica CL as a compact, pocketable setup, and it allows me to carry one of my favorite cameras into situations where larger lenses just aren’t practical. This lens clearly makes intentional compromises to achieve its extremely thin profile, but the end result is a very usable tool. Since purchasing it, the lens has stayed on my camera most of the time. If Brightin Star can produce a lens this capable at this thickness, I’m very interested to see what they can do in a more traditional form factor. ## Frequently Bought Together - Brightin Star 28mm F2.8 Full Frame Manual Focus Lens for Leica-M Mount,Camera Lens Compatible with M2 M3 M4 M5 M6 M7 M8 M9 M9P M10 M262 M240 M240P M10P M10M - K&F Concept Lens Mount Adapter Compatible for Leica M Lens to Alpha Nex E-Mount Camera Body with Matting Varnish Design --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/548935760-brightin-star-28mm-f2-8-full-frame-manual-focus-lens](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/548935760-brightin-star-28mm-f2-8-full-frame-manual-focus-lens) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
