Price Paid:
$0.00 Summary: A recent trend towards the ultra end of the wide angle market, means that the 28mm focal lengnth has gone out of vogue, and consequently a lot of people deem the 28mm, with its 74 degrees of view, as 'not wide enough', and therefore , 'not very good'. More fool them I say, back in 1978 I bought my first wide angle lens, a Sigma 28/2.8 and was very happy with it, a few years later and here I am with the AF Nikkor 28/2.8 D, and I'm more than happy with my example, the colour rendition, saturation and sharpness are all very good, infact this is a very sharp lens indeed, great for landscapes, especially at arround f5.6- f8, particularly if you want to get a bit of foreground in frame. All in all this lens represents a bit of a bargain, particularly if sharp prime Nikkors are your thing, all gadget bags should have one. Strengths: Sharpness,
Multicoating,
Greart optiona HN2 hood,
Price, comparitively cheap. Weaknesses: For the price range it has no weaknesses really, if you want 'better' build quality, then higher prices will inccur. Similar Products Used: Sigma, 28/2.8 MF,
Nikkor 28/35 NAI MF,
Nikkor 28/2.8 AI MF,
Nikkor 35/2 AI MF. Customer Service: Nikon UK, have always been informative and helpfull and Greys of Westminster, (London), is a great source for your Nikon needs, (I'm not on commission).
