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...

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).

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.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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

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...

Perfect balance of price, wide angle, and speed.

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.

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

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...

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
