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.

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 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.

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.

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).

Purchased this lens and it arrived a couple of days ago. Just did a lens test this morning with a target and I am very impressed. A touch soft around the edges at 2.8 but this is still a usable f/stop. Clears up nicely by 5.6. f/22 not a hot f/stop but f/16 is very nice.

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 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.

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

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...
