The details

At a glance: Compact screw-drive autofocus 28mm f/2.8 wide-angle prime for Nikon F (FX), 52mm filter, about 205g.

About this lens

A compact, lightweight autofocus wide-angle prime for the Nikon F mount, the AF Nikkor 28mm f/2.8D makes a natural light everyday 28mm for full-frame bodies. It is a screw-drive (AF-D) design, so it relies on the camera body's built-in focus motor rather than an in-lens motor.

Build & handling

Focus Autofocus - screw drive (no in-lens motor)
Minimum focus distance 0.25m
Filter thread 52mm
Weight ~205g
Lens construction 6 elements in 6 groups

Works with

  • Nikon F full-frame (FX) DSLRs with a built-in AF motor - full autofocus
  • Nikon F DX (APS-C) DSLRs with a built-in AF motor - full autofocus, ~42mm equivalent field of view
  • Motor-less Nikon DSLRs (e.g. D3xxx, D5xxx) - mounts and meters but manual focus only
  • Nikon Z mirrorless via FTZ adapter - manual focus only

Best for

It suits anyone wanting a light, walk-around wide angle for street, landscape and general everyday shooting on full-frame Nikon bodies. Important compatibility note: as a screw-drive AF-D lens it autofocuses only on Nikon DSLRs that have a built-in focus motor (for example the D7x00, D8xx and D500 series), and is manual-focus-only on motor-less bodies such as the D3xxx and D5xxx. On APS-C DX cameras the field of view is roughly equivalent to a 42mm lens, and on Nikon Z mirrorless bodies via the FTZ adapter it works as manual focus only.

Frequently asked questions

Will it autofocus on a Nikon D3500 or D5600?

No. Those bodies have no built-in focus motor, so this screw-drive AF-D lens is manual focus only on them, though it still mounts and meters normally.

Which cameras give autofocus with this lens?

Nikon DSLRs with a built-in focus motor, such as the D7x00, D8xx and D500 series and the higher-end/pro bodies, drive its autofocus.

Does it work on a Nikon Z camera?

Yes, via the FTZ adapter, but as a screw-drive lens it operates in manual focus only on Z bodies.

What is the angle of view on an APS-C DX camera?

On DX the 28mm gives roughly a 42mm equivalent field of view, so it behaves more like a mild wide-to-normal lens.

  • 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.
