Nikon AF-S Nikkor 28mm f/1.8G Review - Top-quality, full-frame, wide-angle lens

Use this on my D800 and it focuses quickly and is very sharp. Some might be put off by "no VR" but this lens does not need it and I am able to get good photos of my kids indoors, one handed. Its a great buy and if you can get over not having a zoom lens you will not be sorry.

Superb sharpness; quiet operation

lightweight; could be mistaken for being cheap

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!

From some time now Nikon has been expanding its line of their different full frame fixed-focal lenses by presenting their new versions. Lately we've seen the launches of such instruments as: 1.4/24, 1.4/35, 1.4/50, 1.4/85, 1.8/50 and 1.8/85. Also the 28 mm instrument joined that wave.

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

slack on the focusing ring; very high longitudinal chromatic aberration; significant spherical aberration; high coma in the corners of full frame; significant vignetting on full frame

I bought this lens few months ago. Because of the size and price I started investing only in fixed lenses. It is the matter of getting use to have a zoom option in your legs :) If this doesn't not bother you do not hesitate and buy this lovely piece of glass.

It is light in the hand and small in your camera bag or Nikon D4,D3 or D700, D800. The Nikon 28mm f1.8g has nano crystal coating and gold ring making it a high end lens. Unlike it's cousins the 24mm f1.4g and 35mm f1.4g that are big and heavy in weight and in price, this one is light, small and...

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.

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.

Consistent Output; Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight; Nice Bokeh

Weak Casing

MRP for this lens as per Nikon India is INR 49,600
