The details

At a glance: Compact 28mm f/2.8 full-frame wide-angle prime - mechanical aperture ring, screw-drive AF, D-series heritage.

About this lens

The Nikon AF 28mm f/2.8D is a classic wide-angle prime in Nikon's long-running D-series line. Originally released in 1994 and still produced for decades, this lens offers a genuinely compact, lightweight package — a practical walk-around wide on full-frame Nikon bodies, or a 42mm equivalent on DX crop cameras.

Build & handling

Autofocus Screw-drive AF (requires body with AF motor)
Minimum focus distance 0.25m
Filter thread 52mm
Weight 205g
Aperture ring Yes - usable on manual film bodies

Works with

  • Nikon F-mount full-frame (FX) DSLRs with in-body AF motor (D7xxx, D8xx, pro bodies)
  • Nikon film SLRs - the mechanical aperture ring is fully compatible with manual-aperture bodies
  • Nikon DX (APS-C) DSLRs (42mm equivalent); entry-level DX bodies (D3xxx/D5xxx) will be manual-focus only

Best for

Values a compact, traditional design over modern features. The mechanical aperture ring and screw-drive autofocus mean it pairs particularly well with film SLRs and older/professional Nikon DSLR bodies (D7xxx and D8xx series, pro bodies). Not recommended for entry-level DSLRs (D3xxx, D5xxx) which lack the in-body AF motor — the lens will be manual-focus only on those bodies.

Frequently asked questions

Will it autofocus on entry-level Nikon DSLRs (D3xxx / D5xxx)?

No. This lens uses screw-drive autofocus and requires a Nikon body with an in-body AF motor (D7xxx, D8xx or pro bodies, or older film SLRs). On entry-level bodies it can be used in manual focus only.

  • A proper little treasure trove

    3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
