Wow. What a wonderful lens this is. This is one of Nikons best quality wide angle lenses designed for full frame but is equally good on a crop sensor Nikon DSLR. The sharpness from centre to edge is outstanding at all apertures up to F11 and as usual the build quality is fantastic.

After trying half a dozen lenses to use as as a fast normal prime on my D7100 I've finaly found one I like. Nikon 35mm was too long, Sigma 30mm was to soft, Nikon 28mm f/2,8 AF was nice, but f/2,8 is quite slow for a prime. The Nikon 28mm f/1,8 on the other hand is perfect.

Light; sharp; fast; what more to ask for

Spherochromatism; quite large for a prime

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.

Mount: Nikon F | Format: Full frame | Construction: 11 elements in 9 groups, 7 diaphragm blades | Closest focus distance: 25cm | Filter thread: 67mm | Autofocus: ring-type ultrasonic | Dimensions: 73x81mm, weight 330g | Tested on: Nikon D7100 This lens is nearly an f/stop slower than Nikon's 24mm...

Fast, light Prime lens, fairly sharp wide open in the centre of frame; Nice bokeh for 28mm focal length

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

Bring a dramatic wide-angle perspective to your still and HD video shooting. The AF-S NIKKOR 28mm f/1.8G's fast maximum aperture lets you create in nearly any light-dusk to dawn, indoors or out-and offers outstanding depth-of-field control.

* Fast, f/1.8, maximum aperture * Excellent MTF performance * Highly colour-corrected * Weatherproof design * Quick and quiet AF * Internal focusing * Full-time M/A focusing Nikon's AF-S 28mm f/1.8G prime lens is in danger of being overlooked on account of the brevity of its name.

The Nikon 28mm f/1.8 wide angle lens is compact, optically superb, and great for nighttime hand held photography. Below are two photos taken at night, hand held, at a shutter speed of 1/125 of a second, an aperture of f/1.8, ISOs of 450 and 3200, Auto White Balance, and Matrix Metering.

I was in one of my favorite camera stores buying a new Nikon V1 for my gal when feeling a little under the weather, I started looking at glass. Spending can perk me up. Wink I'd been casually thinking about this new 28 f/1.8G for a couple of months but was a little worried about the reports of focus...

Very sharp and contrasty on my D700, D3S and D800. Crystal clear rendition with no color cast.

Almost too light weight for a $700 lens if that's possible.

The Nikon AF-S 28mm f/1.8G gives a wide field of view but keeps the weight off...
