Wide-Angle Prime for FX and DX

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 28mm f/1.8G is a fast wide-angle prime lens designed for full-frame FX and APS-C DX Nikon cameras. Its bright f/1.8 maximum aperture enables effective low-light imaging and shallow depth of field control. Two aspherical elements work with Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings to minimise aberrations and flare.

Suits low-light and environmental shooters.

Photographers needing a bright, quiet wide-angle lens for interiors, landscapes or video will benefit from the Silent Wave Motor and full-time manual focus override. Buyers who require optical zoom range or telephoto reach should look at alternative lens types. The fixed 28mm focal length offers a single field of view.

Maximum aperture f/1.8 decides low-light capability

The f/1.8 maximum aperture is the key specification determining suitability for handheld low-light work and subject isolation. The aperture range extends to f/16 for deeper depth of field when required. Close focus capability reaches 9.8 inches for near-subject detail.

Questions about this item

Which Nikon F-mount bodies accept this 28 mm f/1.8G lens?

The lens mounts on any Nikon F-mount camera — full-frame FX or APS-C DX — and communicates aperture electronically because it is a G-type design.

Will autofocus still work on my older screw-drive Nikon DSLR?

Yes, the built-in Silent Wave Motor drives focus internally, so autofocus functions on bodies that lack an in-body focus motor.

How can I confirm the Nano Crystal Coating is reducing flare in my shots?

Shoot a high-contrast backlit scene at f/1.8 and check for ghosting or veiling flare; the coating should keep both minimal compared with an uncoated lens.
