Product Information

A great lens draws peak performance from a camera, and the AF-S NIKKOR 28mm f/1.8G from Nikon is no exception. The lens incorporates Nikon advancements for consistent, superlative performance, even in tough shooting situations. Nano Crystal and super integrated coatings enhance contrast and color and nearly eliminate ghosting and flare, even in backlit scenes. The Silent Wave Motor function of this incredible Nikon lens powers high-speed autofocusing that is extremely accurate and quiet and this feature of the Nikon 28mm lens uses ultrasonic vibrations—rather than a gear system—to focus the lens, providing incredibly smooth, silent and precise autofocus operation. This Nikon 28mm f/1.8G lens is a compact, very lightweight, fast wide-angle lens for full-frame cameras. It has great optics and ergonomics in a light-duty housing. The first thing that hits you about it is how light it is, and the way it feels never changes, it always feels small and light. If you are traveling light and prefer a small, fast, fixed wide lens, this Nikon 28mm lens is the one for you. If your photography objectives require speed for shooting action in low light, shooting slow 35mm film, or if you need to be able to instantly adjust focus, this 28mm f/1.8 lens is the perfect choice. Optically excellent, the Nikon NIKKOR gives you instant manual focus override simply by grabbing its big focus ring. Nikon’s state-of-the-art prime AF-S NIKKOR 28 mm f/1.8G lens delivers superb image quality, advanced features, and careful attention to detail. The lens works as a very fast 28 mm wide-angle for full-frame Nikon cameras, or as a fast 42 mm near-normal lens when used with other cameras. The f/1.8 maximum aperture will keep you shooting and capturing great images, whether stills or video, even in conditions after the light gets too dim for others. The fast lens adjusts equally well to bright daylight and offers excellent depth-of-field and focal length. The Nano Crystal Coat means you get none of the glare or ghosting that can be a problem with some wide-angle lenses. 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, indoor or out—and offers outstanding depth-of-field control. Impressive on all format cameras, the AF-S NIKKOR 28mm f/1.8G excels with wide angle and is perfect for landscapes, architecture, group shots, travel and more. An f/1.8 maximum aperture frees you to create in low-light settings, like the cool blues of dawn or the warm oranges of an indoor event. Not only will your photos and HD videos be brighter, your view through the camera will be brighter for fine-tuning, manual control and sharpness. An f/1.8 aperture also gives you remarkable depth-of-field control, so you can softly blur your backgrounds with a pleasing effect and draw attention to your subjects. The AF-S NIKKOR 28mm f/1.8G features a rounded 7-blade diaphragm to enhance that effect, by giving a more natural appearance to out-of-focus elements. Nikon’s exclusive Nano Crystal Coat nearly eliminates the ghosting and flare seen with some wide-angle lenses and gives improved clarity and contrast. Upgrade your camera with one of these prime lenses from Nikon. Any photographer is better with a better camera.
