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.

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!

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...

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

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.
