While I hope to create a full Nikon 28mm f/2.8D AF Lens, my first priority is to include results from this lens in the lens comparison tools available on the site. This page currently exists because it is required by the database and content management systems for me to post information and standard...

The Nikkor 28 is exactly what I expected. I have several Nikon lenses and cameras and always enjoy the quality. I am using it on a film body to record scenes I might like to sketch.

I received it on time for a time sensitive project. It is a fast lense for sharpness and a true 28mm wide angle lens as needed for a group picture of 150 people in a limited space. An 8x10 is sharp.

I've owned this lens for many years now, and find it to be a very consistent performer-- it does what it does very very well. I have had no issues whatsoever with it. When I shot primarily 35mm film, this guy was a real staple.

Consistent Output; Durable; Lightweight; Rugged

Slow Focus

This lens is a bit of a sleeper as its quite cheap but does give quite good image quality once past F4. I recently decided to go with primes for all lenses under 100 mm - why carry around a 24-70 that weighs 1.4 kilos when I can get a 50mm, a 28 and a 20 that weigh just about 0.6 kilos between them...

small; light; very sharp centre resolution

some distortion; not particularly robust

I was loaned a 28/2.8 Ai-s by a friend when I first began shooting Nikon, long long ago. I instantly fell in love, and after he asked for me to return it I immediately went I bought a copy of my own.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Lightweight

Very versatile normal-wide angle lens. Now adays, 28 is not really a extreme wide angle anymore but about 6 years ago when I bought this lens as new, it blew my minds away with the optical performance and its 74° field of view. The contrasts and sharpness was amazing.

The build quality, Optical performance, CRC with 0.2ft min focusing distance; Smaller physical size compair to one stop faster f2

none I found for last 6years

Got this mainly for shooting street photography with my D700 and 28mm is an ideal focal length for this. The lens is small, light & discreet. I like the way it has an aperture ring and a proper infinity focus stop. Well worth getting the HN2 metal hood for extra protection.

Consistent Output; Lightweight

I WOULD NOT PURCHASE THIS LENS - INSTEAD, LOOK FOR A GREAT ZOOM LENS. IN ADDITION, I WOULD NOT BUY IT AND LATER EXPECT TO SEND IT IN TO ADORAMA TO REPURCHASE IT FOR/OR EXCHANGE FOR ANOTHER LENS. YOU WILL LOSE EVERY TIME.
