Nikon AF-S 28mm f/1.8 G

Nikon AF-S 28mm f/1.8G Lens 

The Nikon AF-S 28mm f/1.8G is a versatile wide-angle prime lens designed for photographers who want exceptional image quality, outstanding low-light performance, and beautiful background separation in a compact form. Ideal for landscapes, environmental portraits, street photography, travel, architecture, and everyday shooting, this lens offers a natural yet expansive field of view on Nikon FX-format cameras.

With its bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, the lens excels in available-light photography, allowing you to shoot confidently in dim environments while maintaining fast shutter speeds and clear results. The wide aperture also enables a shallow depth of field, creating soft, pleasing background blur that enhances subject separation.

The optical design features two aspherical elements that effectively reduce distortion and aberrations, ensuring sharp, high-contrast images from the center to the edges. Nikon’s Nano Crystal Coat minimizes flare and ghosting, making the lens highly reliable even when shooting against strong light sources like sunsets or streetlights.

Autofocus is powered by Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor (SWM), delivering smooth, accurate, and near-silent focusing performance—perfect for both still photography and video work. The lens also offers full-time manual focus override, allowing precise control whenever needed.

Built with a durable yet lightweight construction, the AF-S 28mm f/1.8G is easy to carry and comfortable for all-day shooting. Its weather-sealed mount adds an extra layer of protection for outdoor photographers working in unpredictable conditions.
