![]() The front element does not rotate so using a polarizer is no problem. But it’s nice to see that Nikon hasn’t limited themselves to drawing the line at 300mm, like what was done with their AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-6. As a result of the screw drive, AF operation will generate a moderate degree of noise. The lens has no internal AF motor and relies on a slotted drive screw operated by the camera, so AF is not available on the motor-free entry level Nikon DSLRs. Inner tube moves during focusing thus extending the lens when focusing towardsĪ hood is not included with the lens and needs to be purchased seperately.

Yes - the FX camera body will automatically crop down to only use the centre portion of the sensor (covered by the smaller image circle of the DX lens. The AF-D 28/2.8 is designed for full frame cameras, but can of course be used on DX DSLRs, too. At the time of this review the lens retails for around 280 EUR/USD. It shares other properties with its close relatives, though: it is rather compact and light-weight, and also quite affordable for a relatively fast prime. However, unlike its sister lenses (the AF-D 20/2.8 and AF-D 24/2.8) it is a new design and does not date back to earlier Ai or Ai-S designs. The Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 is a prime lens that has been around for quite a while, the current AF-D version of the lens was introduced in 1994. Review by Markus Stamm, published April 2013
