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

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

Nikon 28mm f/1.8 G Review

It's all plastic and made in China, with a metal mount. The first thing that hits you about it is how light it is, and that's always how it feels: small and light.

Within the year 2010, Nikon added three very fast f1.4 AF-S lenses into its lineup: 24mm, 35mm, and 85mm. While two of them are fine wide angle lenses, they all cost $1600 and up.

Pros:
  • very good image quality in the frame centre
  • good or decent image quality on the edge of the frame
  • slight lateral chromatic aberration
  • well-corrected distortion
  • negligible astigmatism
  • low coma on the APS-C/DX sensor
  • quick
  • silent and accurate autofocus

Nikon 28mm f/1.8G AF-S Nikkor review by alifeinpixels

We all read pros/cons about this lens. You know about build, slack in focus ring, and price. I spent too much time with this lens and wish I could get it back. Despite monkeying with af adjustment I just could not get a sharp picture wide open on my D600.
Pros:
  • sharp stopped down
Cons:
  • soft wide open - which is a shame
