a surprising performer
To my surprise, this lens works very well on FX. My lens dates from 1989 and it does not focus instantly, but the quality is good and the images are surprisingly sharp. The lens is very small and unobtrusive, so it does not call attention to the camera and does not take up much room in the bag, but...

Excellent FX wide prime
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.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Lightweight

I am trying to be esoteric with the "Review Title." The lens is inexpensive, so in essence this lens doesn't have a 'fat price tag.' I came up with an idea, which I called, the "Fixed-Focal-Length Weekend." The plan was to shoot with only using fixed-focal lenses over the Fourth of July Weekend.

28mm F2.8
A great value wide angle lens which is designed for full frame Nikon DSLRs but can also be used on any crop sensor Nikon that has a focusing motor in the body (D90, D7000, D7100, D7200).

Great lens!
Has great depth of field and is fast. Focuser works smoothly. Great for landscapes and astronomy. The lens is much better than the poor reviews indicate. It is sharp if you use it properly. Colors are well saturated.
Pros:
- Has great depth of field and is fast
- Focuser works smoothly
- Great for landscapes and astronomy
- The lens is much better than the poor reviews indicate
- It is sharp if you use it properly
- Colors are well saturated
Cons:
- It has no vibration reduction and on a DX camera will require manual focus
- But it will work
- It requires more skill to use it than your newer lens that has vibration reduction
- There is less room for operator error
- The focus is critical
- And shutter speed must be fast enough to avoid camera shake

Nikkor 28 is a great wideangle
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.

This 28mm is actually a much better and cheaper lens (albeit less wide
Although this is relatively cheap, it's light and offers the traditional Nikon metal build quality, producing warm, saturated images of old. I briefly owned a new 20mm 1.8/G which I bought earlier this year from Amazon and returned it due to dreadful lack of sharpness, lack of contrast and plasticky...

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.
