Handling and Features Performance Verdict Specification This brand new compact wide angle lens from Nikon costs around ￡620 and sports a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, silent internal focusing and nano-crystal coatings to help control ghosting and flare.

Excellent optical performance; Silent focusing; Low CA; Low distortion; Compact and lightweight; Relatively good value (when compared to f/1.4 alternatives

Falloff of illumination towards the corners at wide apertures

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 28mm f/1.8G is a capable but quite pricey prime lens that will appeal most to landscape and architecture shooters who routinely stop their lenses down or those photographers looking for lovely out-of-focus bokeh effects from a wider-angle perspective.

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.

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

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