Nikon Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 Series E - Nikon F Mount

The Nikon Series E 28mm f/2.8 is a lightweight, compact wide-angle lens originally designed to complement the Nikon EM camera. Although part of the more budget-friendly Series E line, it shares the Nikon F-mount and provides a sharp, high-contrast image. Its slim profile makes it an excellent choice for 'pancake' style setups on both film and digital Nikon bodies where portability is the priority. The construction uses more plastic than the standard Nikkor line, so check the barrel for any cracks or impact damage. The focus ring is often lighter in feel; SDS ensures it hasn't developed excessive play. We also check the optics for dust and ensure the aperture blades remain clean and functional, as these lenses were sometimes stored for long periods without use.
