Nikon Nikkor AF-S 28mm f/1.8G - Pros & Cons

build quality is very good
relatively small and lightweight lens that is easy to carry and handle
The focus ring is very wide and smooth
great and affordable primes
fast
inexpensive and lightweight wide-angle prime lens
AF speed is certainly fast enough for typical wide-angle applications
The rubberized focus ring is nicely damped and operates smoothly

it only makes sense on a full frame Nikon body
it has no aperture ring -
very noticeable light fall-off in the corners
Nikkor is not an upgrade to a long available AF lens
G-type lens and thus does not offer an aperture ring
Nikon rolled out the 28mm
high contrast edges on most cameras

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 28mm f/1.8G review - A stellar performer

Launched in April 2012, this wide-angle prime lens from Nikon, with a fast maximum aperture of f/1.8, suggests it may be a great choice for landscape, architectural and reportage photography. A light weight of 330g also ensures it’s easy to travel with and won’t weigh heavily in your bag.

Nikon's 28mm f/1.8 lens is much more affordable than the company's 24mm f/1.4
