Use the center focal point

I have read much about the soft focus on this lens. This lens is not soft! its fast! Wide aperture lenses need the use of the center focal point to achieve the sharpness most of us desire. At least on a lens in this price category.
Pros:
  • Consistent Output
  • Easily Interchangeable
  • Lightweight
  • Nice Bokeh
Cons:
  • Weak Casing

Bright and Compact Wide Angle Lens

The Nikon 28mm f/1.8 wide angle lens is compact, optically superb, and great for nighttime hand held photography. Below are two photos taken at night, hand held, at a shutter speed of 1/125 of a second, an aperture of f/1.8, ISOs of 450 and 3200, Auto White Balance, and Matrix Metering.

Nikon 28mm F1.8

Wow. What a wonderful lens this is. This is one of Nikons best quality wide angle lenses designed for full frame but is equally good on a crop sensor Nikon DSLR. The sharpness from centre to edge is outstanding at all apertures up to F11 and as usual the build quality is fantastic.

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 28mm f/1.8G Lens - BRAND NEW review

I was in one of my favorite camera stores buying a new Nikon V1 for my gal when feeling a little under the weather, I started looking at glass. Spending can perk me up. Wink I'd been casually thinking about this new 28 f/1.8G for a couple of months but was a little worried about the reports of focus...
Pros:
  • Very sharp and contrasty on my D700, D3S and D800. Crystal clear rendition with no color cast.
Cons:
  • Almost too light weight for a $700 lens if that&#x27
  • s possible.

Simply Amazing

I love the feel, look and how quiet this lens is. Superb on the D800. Fast, accurate and images are sharp and beautiful in tone and contrast. I'm not a zoom lens type gal so this lens fits so many needs from landscape, to portraits...its just wonderful!

NIKON AF-S NIKKOR 28 mm f/1.8G Wide-angle Prime Lens

Pros:
  • Fast, light Prime lens, fairly sharp wide open in the centre of frame
  • Nice bokeh for 28mm focal length
Cons:
  • A little soft wide open in corners but worse than that it has bad focus shift as well as bad field curvature, combine all of these together & ultimately it means that the lens was a bit of a let down for me
  • Have tried many copies all the same

This is one of my favorite lenses in the collection

This is one of my favorite lenses in the collection. I often use it with my Nikon D7200 since I really like the field of view and perspective of this lens on a cropped sensor. It focuses super fast, silent, and accurate.

Don't believe everything you read.

I really thought long and hard over this one. All of the online reviews indicated that this was a questionable lens with issues. I then noticed that virtually all of those reviews were from 2012. The recent reviews were much better.

Bring a dramatic wide-angle perspective to your still and HD video shooting. The AF-S NIKKOR 28mm f/1.8G's fast maximum aperture lets you create in nearly any light-dusk to dawn, indoors or out-and offers outstanding depth-of-field control.
