Nikon AF Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 - Nikon F Mount

The AF Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 is a wide-angle prime lens designed for Nikon AF-D and later film and digital SLRs. It features a five-element optical construction and provides a versatile 74-degree angle of view, making it suitable for landscape, street, and architecture photography. Note that this non-D version does not transmit distance information to the camera for advanced 3D matrix metering, though it retains full autofocus capability on bodies with an internal AF motor. Check the autofocus screw-drive coupling for wear, as this can lead to noisy or hesitant focusing. SDS verifies that the aperture blades are clean and that the manual/autofocus switch mechanism functions correctly. While the exterior is largely plastic, the mount is metal; ensure it fits securely without excessive movement. Internal dust is common but rarely affects image quality.
