Features:



Nikon Silent Wave Motor
A significant innovation in AF lens technology, Nikon's Silent Wave Motor uses ultrasonic (inaudible) vibrations—rather than a gear system—to focus the lens, providing incredibly smooth, silent and precise autofocus operation.





M/A Focus Mode Switch
When fine manual focusing is needed, simply rotate the lens focus ring—M/A mode allows you to seamlessly override the AF system with virtually no time lag.





Super Integrated Coating
Nikon's Super Integrated Coating enhances light transmission efficiency and offers superior color consistency and reduced lens flare.





Nano Crystal Coat
An anti-reflective coating developed by Nikon that virtually eliminates internal lens element reflections across a wide range of wavelengths.





Rear Focusing
A system in which only the rear lens group moves during focusing, thus eliminating changes in the physical length of the lens during focusing and enabling faster focusing. Such lenses are designated with RF on the lens barrel.

    Wonderful general walk-around, group and landscape lens.
    5 Stars
    Wonderful general walk-around, group and landscape lens.
    When I bought this lens, I was looking for a sharp, fast prime for group photography, walk-around and landscapes. It meets all those needs very well. I've used it with a D600, D610 and D750. It produces very nice bokeh wide open and is sharp all around.Since then Nikon has released the 20mm f/1.8G and the 24mm f/1.8G. It's possible that if I had to choose with all three available at the time, I would have probably picked the 20mm f/1.8G instead, but I'm glad those choices were not open to me at the time, because I feel the 28mm is a bit more versatile. It's not too wide and it's not too narrow. The 20mm and 24mm would have been a bit too wide for most other photography. They probably would have stayed in the bag more often than the 28mm does. In fact the 28mm is attached most of the time when going out for casual shooting even though I also have a 50mm f/1.4G and 85mm f/1.8G, both of which can be a little too narrow sometimes.Simply put, the 28mm is ready for just about any situation. Love it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Technisch erstklassiges Objektiv; sinnvolle Festbrennweite?
    Reviewed in Germany on January 29, 2016
    Eines meiner unerfüllten Traumobjektive war das Mitte der 90er Jahre erschienene AF-D Nikkor 1,4/28, das damals wegen seiner asphärisch geschliffenen Linsen (keine Presslinge!) den für Nikon-Verhältnisse enormen Preis von ca. 4.500 DM kostete. Nachdem es Anfang des neuen Jahrtausends eingestellt wurde, lagen die Gebrauchtpreise bei gut erhaltenen Exemplaren deutlich darüber! Mir wurde ein aus den USA importiertes Exemplar vor einigen Jahren angeboten, das ich aber nicht nur aus preislichen Gründen verschmähte, sondern auch, weil mir als Festrennweiten immer entweder das 35er oder das 20/24er lieber waren. Das 28er empfand ich immer als "Zwitter", weder ein gemäßigtes WW wie das 35er, das auch viele Aufgaben einer Normalbrennweite übernehmen kann, noch ein sichtbar starkes WW, dessen Effekt vorrangig aus dem Gegensatz zwischen Betonung des Vordergrunds bei gleichzeitiger Darstellung eines weiten Hintergrunds besteht. Ein lichtstarkes gemäßigtes WW gab es bei mir stets: Demzufolge gab es bei mir immer 35er und 24er, später 20er, Festbrennweiten. Auch ein lichtstarkes WW-Zoom befindet sich in meinem Bestand, das "gusseiserne" AF-S 2,8/17-35D. Nun ist dazugekommen eben dieses AF-S 1,8/28G, nachdem ich eben wegen des WW-Zooms die 35er und 20er Festbrennweite abgeschafft hatte.

    Über die Bildqualität dieser Linse muß man keine großen Diskussionen führen: Sie ist erstklassig, auch mit einer hochauflösenden Kamera wie der D800! Schon ab der größten Öffnung ist - selbst im Nahbereich - ein hohes Maß an Schärfe vorhanden. Ob das auch in den Ecken der Fall ist? Nun, testtafelähnliche Bildmotive nimmt man nicht mit f 1,8 auf; deshalb weiß ich es nicht. Im mittleren Blendenberich, wo es darauf ankommt, ist die Schärfe jedenfalls bis in die Ecken untadelig. Der AF ist im Fern- und im Nahbereich einwandfrei. Das Bokeh ist für eine recht starke WW-Linse sehr gut, sehr viel besser als das meines o.g. WW-Zooms. Fotografiert man JPEGs, wird man keine Vignettierung feststellen, CAs ebenfalls nicht, bei RAWs kann man sie bekanntermaßen in der Nachbearbeitung entfernen.Dank Nanokristallvergütung halten sich Streulichteffekte in engen Grenzen. Optisch ist also alles im grünen Bereich. Fazit: Das AF-S 1,8/28G ist nicht nur sehr gut, sondern es muß sich auch keineswegs vor dem legendären AF 1,4/28D verstecken.

    Das Objektiv hat die für die Nikon-1,8er-Festbrennweiten übliche Kunststofffassung mit Metallbajonett und Dichtungslippe. Das ergibt haptisch kein sonderlich solides Gefühl. Man muß jedoch dabei bedenken, daß manche Kunsttstoffe bessere Eigenschaften haben als Metalle; außerdem entschädigt diese Art von Fassung den Benutzer durch ein geringes Objektivgewicht. Ich jedenfalls habe mit den nikonüblichen Kunststofffassungen bei etlichen Objektiven im Gebrauch bislang keinerlei Probleme gehabt und mich stets an den relativ niedrigen Gewichten erfreut, die bei mehreren Objektiven in der Fototasche leicht mal 1 kg weniger auf der Schulter ausmachen können.

    Aber wofür braucht man heutzutage eine lichtstarke 28er Festbrennweite? Im mittleren Blendenbereich wird sie locker von einem 2,8/24-70 (neuerdings sogar VR) oder 4/24-120 VR ersetzt. Selbst die beliebten WW-Zooms 2,8/17-35 und 4/16-35 VR umfassen diese Brennweite, die beiden 2,8er gar nicht mal viel lichtschwächer. Aber es gibt so einige verträumte Motive am Rande der Machbarkeit bei düsteren Lichtverhältnissen aus freier Hand, bei denen sich ein nicht zu starkes WW bezahlt macht. Ob es das 28er ist oder das 35er, ist vom Bildwinkel eher eine Geschmacksfrage; Hauptsache man hat es dabei (hat man meistens nicht, weil anderes wichtiger ist!); dabei hat das 35er den Vorteil kleiner und leichter (und preiswerter) zu sein. Allerdings neigt das 28er aus freier Hand wegen des größeren Bildwinkels unter schwachen Lichtverhältnissen weniger zur Verwacklung als das 35er. Beide 1,8er sind zudem 1 1/3 Stufen lichtstärker als die o.g. 2,8er Zooms und produzieren damit im Ernstfall weniger Rauschen bzw. machen eine Freihandzeit überhaupt erst möglich, jedenfalls bezogen auf die nicht stabilisierten Objektive. Für Landschaftsfotografie, für die das 28er in früheren Jahren, als stärkere Weitwinkel noch Mangelware waren, gern benutzt wurde, ist die 28er Festbrennweite allerdings ein zweischneidiges Schwert. Für die leichte Aufweitung der Landschaft, ohne die Proportionen zu zerschlagen, was mit 35mm Brennweite sehr gut geht, ist der Bildwinkel schon zu groß, für die Vordergrund-/Hintergrund-Effekte, die sich ab 24mm Brennweite abwärts sehr schön darstellen lassen, ist er idR zu klein. Sehr schön allerdings ist die Möglichkeit mit diesem Objektiv ein Detail im Vordergrund groß herauszustellen und den entfernten Hintergrund in plakativer Unschärfe versinken zu lassen, wobei der Reiz des 28ers darin besteht, dem Hintergrund ein große Weite zu geben, ohne ihn allzu weit weg zu schieben.

    Fazit: Es gibt für eine Brennweite dieses Kalibers, wenn man auch mit guten Zooms bestückt ist, nicht mehr allzu viel an Aufgaben. Das Objektiv als solches ist technisch allerdings erstklassig.

    Anbei 2 Fotos aus einer "fremden Welt", in der sich eine solche Linse in den Stunden zwischen Tag und Traum auszahlt und eines wegen des Bokehs.
