Lenses like the Nikkor Z 28mm F2.8 (and the 40mm F2) address Nikon's budget-concious customers. The good news is that the Z 28mm F2.8 delivers generally sharp results and works well on both full-frame and crop-sensor bodies. You can even choose between standard ($299.95) and Special Edition ($309.95) finishes depending on your aesthetic preferences. Occasional chromatic aberrations and a stuttering autofocus motor are our biggest complaints here, but those are acceptable compromises in light of the price and the lack of low-cost third-party options on the platform.

Nikon Z 28mm F2.8 is a Fixed aperture Auto Focus (AF) Wideangle Prime lens with 35mm FF max sensor coverage, and it is designed to be used with Z Mount cameras. What type of photography is the Nikon Z 28mm F2.8 lens good for?
