Nikon Nikkor Z 28mm F2.8 (SE) Review
The Nikon Nikkor Z 28mm F2.8 lens sacrifices a bit of build quality to meet a reasonable asking price, but it captures pleasing images and offers lots of value. 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. That said, the premium Nikkor Z 24mm F1.8 S ($999.95) remains a better option for serious photographers who value optical perfection.Basic Black or Special Edition? The Z 28mm F2.8 is available in two versions. The standard has a black finish and no adornments—it looks like most of the other Nikkor Z lenses. We received the fancier Special Edition version for review. It comes at a modest $10 premium but resembles a 1980...
Pros:
- Small, light prime
- Sharp full-frame optics
- Sensible pricing
- No visible distortion or focus breathing
Cons:
- Autofocus is on the slow side
- Plastic build without weather protection
- Control ring function isn't that useful

Nikon NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 Lens - Brand New review
Nikon cleverly put its Z 28mm f2.8 right between the existing Z 24mm f1.8 S and Z 35mm f1.8 S and made it much smaller, lighter and cheaper than both alternatives. Its slow focal ratio of f2.8 might be a bit of a let-down but was certainly decisive in reducing size, weight and price.
