  DX side:

  I wanted a nice normal, prime, fast lens for my DX-format camera. This was a strong contender due to a 42mm effective focal length with 1.5x crop factor. Turned out to be a decent performer. Provides good color saturation and good FOV. Performs better outdoors.

  This lens lives on my Nion D70 now for the most part, but that’s only because I have only one 50mm f/1.8 lens and I don’t like changing out lenses too often.

  FX side:

  I figured I could use this with my film cameras as a wide angle for outdoor use. It works okay, but there’s pronounced pincushion distorion at the edges of the frame through most apertures. I’m sure this can be corrected easily with Photoshop, but I prefer images to come out of the camera closer to the final product.

  Overall – okay for DX format, not good for FX format.

  I have been searching for a wide angle lens for my Nikon D5000. This lens is perfect, and it is taking phenomenal pictures. The color and the level of detail are exciting. The lens seems to me to be a higher quality lens than other low price Nikon lenses. No auto-focus, but that is not a problem for me. Great pictures.

  This is a great choice for a full-frame camera like the D700 or D3X. Nice and sharp, decent curvature and distortion, and high contrast in the face of backlighting that would give other lenses fits of flare and low contrast. It’s a no-brainer at the price.

  Nikon 28mm f/2.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

  I received this lens approximately three weeks ago and I’ve been using it heavily ever since. The quality of the images, including color, is outstanding and the lens is very light which makes it an easy ‘walking’ lens. I am especially impressed with the night photos I’ve taken at F2.8. They’re very sharp and the color is very good. This is a great lens for the price – highly recommended.

  This is probably one of Nikons underappreciated lenses. For those looking for an affordable 28mm wide angle lens that is very sharp, this is it. It is well built (Made in Japan) with very good IQ.
