Description

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 28mm F1.8G is a full-frame wide-angle prime lens designed for Nikon F-mount DSLR cameras. Its 28mm focal length provides a 75° angle of view on FX-format cameras, making it well suited to landscapes, architecture, travel, interiors, street photography, and environmental portraits.

The bright f/1.8 maximum aperture provides strong low-light capability and allows greater control over depth of field. The optical design uses 11 elements in 9 groups, including two aspherical elements, while Nikon's Nano Crystal Coat helps reduce ghosting and flare for improved contrast in challenging lighting.

Autofocus is driven by Nikon's Silent Wave Motor for quiet operation, with Rear Focusing and M/A mode allowing manual focus adjustment during autofocus. The lens focuses as close as 0.25m and uses a seven-blade rounded diaphragm for smooth out-of-focus rendering.

At approximately 330g, the AF-S NIKKOR 28mm F1.8G remains relatively compact for a fast full-frame wide-angle prime. On Nikon DX-format cameras, it provides a 53° angle of view equivalent to approximately 42mm on 35mm format.
