Why Fixed Lenses Take Better Pictures

Ideal for: Perfect for use on FX digital and 35mm autofocus cameras.

Not for: I wouldn't bother with this FX lens on a DX camera. I use the 35mm f/1.8 DX lens instead for a fraction of the price.

 

Sample Images

House

Fancy House. You can see the drops of dew on the grass on the lower left in the original image! (D800E, f/8 at 1/250, ISO 100.)

This Nikon 28mm f/1.8G lens is a compact, very lightweight, fast wide-angle lens for full-frame (FX and 35mm) cameras. It has great optics and ergonomics in a light-duty housing.

It's all plastic and made in China, with a metal mount. The first thing that hits you about it is how light it is, and that's always how it feels: small and light.

It works great on DX cameras, but you're paying a lot more than you need to, since for DX, the 35mm f/1.8 DX does the same thing for a fraction of the price.

The reasons to get this 28mm lens are if you are traveling light, and prefer a small, fast, fixed wide lens to a zoom like the 16-35mm VR.

Optically, this 28mm f/1.8 is excellent, but not that much better than any of Nikon's other 28mm lenses or zooms. The reason for this 28mm is speed for shooting action in low-light (or for shooting slow 35mm film), or if you need instant manual-focus override simply by grabbing its big focus ring. Otherwise, no big deal.

It's Nikon's only fixed 28mm lens that will autofocus on Nikon's cheapest digital SLRs, but people with D5100s and D3200s aren't going to buy this lens; they'll want the $200 35mm f/1.8 DX.

As an FX lens, this review is written for use on FX. On DX, no big deal; just know that when I mention the "corners," I'm talking about a part of this lens' image that isn't seen on DX. More at Crop Factor.

 

Compatibility       intro     top

Everything works perfectly on every digital Nikon ever made, both FX and DX, from the best D4, D800 and D800E to Nikon's cheapest digitals like the D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D3100, D5000 and D5100.

It's also perfect on decent or recent AF film cameras like the F6, F100, F5, N80 and N75.

The incompatibilities for older or cheaper 35mm cameras are that:

1.) It won't autofocus with the cheapest new AF 35mm cameras like the N55, but if you focus manually, everything else works great. Even if you lose autofocus, these cameras have in-finder focus confirmation dots to help you.

2.) Late 1980s ~ early 1990s AF cameras like the N90s, N70 and F4 will focus just fine, but you'll lose VR. You'll have Program and Shutter-priority modes, but lose Manual and Aperture-priority since you have no way to set the aperture on the camera or on the lens.

3.) You're really pushing it with the oldest AF cameras like the N2020, N6006 and N8008. You'll have no AF, confused exposure modes, and no VR. Manual focus is fine, along with electronic focus indications.

4.) Since it has no aperture ring, it's just about useless with manual focus film cameras. It will shoot every shot at its minimum aperture.

See Nikon Lens Compatibility for details with your camera. Read down the "AF-S, AF-I," "G" and "VR" columns for this lens. You'll get the least of all the features displayed in all columns, since "G" (gelding) is a deliberate handicap which removes features.

Name        top

Nikon 28mm f/1.8

Bottom, 28 1.8 G.

Nikon calls this the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 28mm f/1.8G.

    NIKKOR: Nikon's brand name for all their lenses.

    AF-S and SWM: Silent Wave Autofocus Motor.

    G: Gelded for cost-reduction and removing compatibility with older cameras.

    Nano Crystal Coat (N): Magic anti-reflection coating that has a variable index of refraction that's far more effective than multicoating. It's probably only on one surface, and is used mostly for marketing purposes.

    RF: Rear focusing; nothing moves externally as focused except the rear element.

    Aspherical: Specially curved glass to give even sharper pictures.

    ∅67: 67mm filter thread.

    10↑: 10-year life expectancy before its lead-free (RoHS) solder grows tin "whiskers" that ensure its circuitry becomes unrepairable. In other words, a 10-year expected life before being thrown away.

    MADE IN CHINA: Offshored to be made as cheaply as possible. Your purchase helps encourage other companies to move their production to China, whose government may eventually choose to nationalize (take over) all of it in the future, leaving the rest of the world enslaved to China. Communist governments are evil, but not stupid, subsidizing labor costs today to help gain control of the world's means of production tomorrow. You've been warned.

 

Also includes:

    D: Couples distance information to the Matrix Meter. All Gelded lenses are also D.

 

Does not include ED, Extra-low Dispersion Glass. The gold band is deceptive, and in this case, used only to support the elevated price. It does not mean ED glass.

Overall       performance     top

The Nikon 28mm f/1.8 G is a fast, sharp, light, fast-focusing wide-angle lens.

It lets in more light than any f/2.8 zoom for shorter shutter speeds or lower ISOs.

 

Autofocus       performance     top

Overall

AF is fast and accurate.

 

AF Speed

AF speed is as we'd expect: fast, but not instantaneous.

As with all AF lenses, it won't focus in dimmer light or any faster than slower (f/2.8 or f/4) AF lenses; Nikon's AF system doesn't care about lens speed.

 

AF Accuracy

AF was always dead-on.

 

Manual Focus

Manual focus is a dream.

The manual-focus ring is most of the lens barrel!

 

M/A - M Switch

Nikon goofed. This switch is supposed to be labeled "A - M."

The "M/A" position means autofocus. It's called "M/A" because you also can focus manually simply by grabbing the focus ring in this position.

The "M/A" position means autofocus. It's called "M/A" because back in the old days, when Nikon had almost caught up to Canon who had been doing this for ten years before, Nikon was trying to show off that you could focus manually while in the AF position.

Paint over the extra M if you're easily confused.

 

Bokeh       performance     top

Bokeh, the character of out of focus backgrounds, not simply how far out of focus they are, is beautiful. Out-of-focus backgrounds never distract.

 

Color Rendition       performance     top

The color rendition is the same as my other Nikkor AF lenses.

 

Coma       performance     top

Coma (saggital coma flare) often causes weird smeared blobs to appear around bright points of light in the corners of fast or wide lenses at large apertures. In lenses that have it, coma goes away as stopped down.

I can't see any coma in this aspherical lens.

 

Distortion       performance     top

The Nikon 28mm f/1.8 G has some barrel distortion, about the same as Nikon's 28mm f/2 manual-focus lens. The 28mm f/2.8 AI-s and 28mm f/2.8 AI have less distortion, and Nikon's zooms have a lot more.

This 28/1.8's distortion can be corrected by plugging a figure of +1.5 into Photoshop's lens distortion filter for shots at 3 meters (10 feet).

Used on recent digital cameras like the D90, D3100, D3200, D5000, D5100, D7000, D4, D800 and D800E, the distortion can be set to correct automatically in-camera! Be sure the latest firmware is loaded in the camera.

 

Ergonomics (handling and ease-of-use)       performance     top

Nikon 28mm f/1.8 G

Nikon 28mm f/1.8 AF-S. enlarge.

Ergonomics are PERFECT!

This lens is perfectly sized to fit the hand. The only thing to grab is the huge focus ring, which may be grabbed at any time for instant manual-focus override.

If you want to force the lens into manual-focus only, the M/A - M slide switch is positioned perfectly under your thumb.

 

Falloff (darkened corners)       performance     top

Falloff on FX and 35mm is visible at f/1.8 and f/2, and gone by f/2.8. With cameras that offer vignette correction, falloff is only minor even at f/1.8.

I've exaggerated this by shooting a gray field and placing these on a gray background.

Filters, use with       performance     top

67mm is a generous filter size.

There is no problem with vignetting, even with two stacked thick filters.

With a rotating Tiffen ND grad and Hoya HRT circular polarizer (total ring thickness excluding rear threads: 13.6mm), there was only the slightest vignetting at infinity, and none at close distances.

Don't waste your money on "thin" filters.

The filter ring never moves.

 

Focus Breathing       performance     top

Of interest mostly to cinematographers focusing back and forth between two subjects, the image from the Nikon 28mm f/1.8 AF-S gets larger as focused more closely.

 

Ghosts       performance     top

Nikon 28 1.8 ghost

Green ghost under extreme conditions (D800E, f/11 at 1/500).

There are no ghosts or flare under any reasonable condition.

If you go out of your way to put the brilliant summer sun in your image and put a dark shadow on the other side to look for ghosts, you might almost see a green blob.

It doesn't vary with or without a multicoated filter on the front of the lens; which is excellent performance.

 

Hood       performance     top

The dinky plastic hood is included.

I leave mine at home.

 

Lateral Color Fringes       performance     top

There are no lateral color fringes on the D800E, which corrects them automatically if there are any.

There is some spherochromatism, which is an entirely different chromatic aberration.

Sharpness       performance     top

Warning 1: Image sharpness depends more on you than your lens.

Warning 2: Lens sharpness doesn't mean much to good photographers.

With those caveats, the Nikon 28mm f/1.8 G is super-sharp. It's biggest flaw on the 36 MP FX D800E is somewhat less sharpness in the zonal region (about halfway out to the FX corners) at larger apertures, and spherochromatism if contrasty subjects are not in perfect focus. The corners are sharp, even at f/1.8.

What I report below is visible only only on the test range, with subjects at infinity throughout the entire image. In real photography, the subject is never flat (if it is, it's just copying you could do on a scanner), and for real subjects, this lens is spectacularly sharp, especially at f/1.8.

 

On the 36 MP FX D800E: (it will seem even sharper on lower resolution cameras)

At f/1.8 and f/2: The 28mm f/1.8 AF-S is reasonably sharp all over, but a little less sharp in the zonal region (about halfway out to the FX corners).

At f/2.8: Most of the zonal region sharpens up.

At f/4: The zonal region is almost completely sharp.

At f/5.6: Sharp all over.

At f/8: Optimum aperture overall.

At f/11: corners and zonal areas are sharpest, while the central area dulls slightly from diffraction.

At f/16: Diffraction limits performance.

At f/22: Diffraction limits performance.

At f/32: Diffraction limits performance.

 

Here's Nikon's claimed MTF:

Nikon's specified MTF curve.

Note the slight drop in the zonal area at about 12mm radius.

 

Spherochromatism       performance     top

Spherochromatism, sometimes mistakenly called "color bokeh" by laymen, is a minor aberration which can add slight color fringes to out-of focus highlights.

This 28/1.8 has some minor spherochromatism, especially if you're shooting on a camera like the D800, D3200 or D7000 with crazy-high resolution and looking at images at 100%.

In normal use you'll never see anything amiss, but if you're more interested in pixels instead of actual pictures, look closely enough at bright highlights just slightly out of focus, and foreground highlights may have slight magenta fringes, and background highlights may have slight green fringes.

 

Sunstars       performance     top

Nikon 28mm f/1.8 sunstar

What happens to paradise if we all buy electric cars. (D800E, f/8 at 1/250).

While its diaphragm is relatively round at large apertures, at middle and smaller apertures its 7-bladed diaphragm is relatively straight-sided, so we get reasonable 14-point sunstars on brilliant points of light.

The sunstars aren't as crisp as those from traditional manual focus and early AF lenses, but better than from most of the recent crop of rounded diaphragm blade lenses.

 

Survivability       performance     top

The Nikon 28mm f/1.8 G AF-S' all-plastic construction works and feels great today, but don't come whining to me in ten years if Nikon can't fix or supply circuit boards and AF motors when they break.

Likewise, if you drop a heavy camera on the lens or hit the front of the lens, I suspect the front half of the lens will separate from the rear.

I consider this lens disposable, meaning that Nikon warranties it for free for 5 years and ought to have parts for paid repair for at least ten years, but I expect that after a few decades that my manual-focus 28mm lenses will still be working like new in 2030, while this one has been tossed away.

 

Compared             top

Intro   Specifications   Performance   Compared   Recommendations   More

Nikon 28mm f/1.8 compared

Nikon 28/2 AI-s , 28/1.4D, 28/2.8D, 16-35 VR and 28/1.8 G. bigger.

Mechanically this 28/1.8G is the weakest lens here.

Ergonomicaly this is the best lens here for any autofocus or digital camera. It just goes, and weighs nothing. For manual focus cameras, use a manual focus lens like thw 28/2 AI-s, 28/2.8 AI or 28/2.8 AI-s for the best ergonomics.

Ethically, this 1.8G lens is the only one offshoerd to China. I won't support Communist governments' plans to control the world's manufacturing by buying something offshored to China if I have the choice. Personally, I bought the made-in-the-free-world 24/1.4G. Freedom isn't free; we have to vote with our dollars, even if it costs more to buy quality.

I compared it optically at the test range directly to the 24-70/2.8G, 24/1.4G, 28/2 AI-s, 28/1.4D, 28/2.8D, 16-35 VR, 28/2.8 AI and 28/2.8 AI-s on my D800E.

To make what could become a very long story short, when you test real lenses in a controlled environment, you quickly discover shot-to-shot and regional sharpness variations due to the precise positions of each and every lens element in these complex zooms and internal-focusing lenses. Therefore, depending on where you look in the frame, one lens will be sharper than the other, and look elsewhere, and another might be sharper. There are no absolute winners.

This new f/1.8 G lens is among the sharpest here, but not significantly better or worse than the others. Depending on where you look, one lens or another will be better.

This lens is unbeaten in the far FX corners.

In the center, most of these lenses are as good as each other at the same apertures, and stopped-down to f/8, they are all the same throughout the image on the 36 MP D800E.

This lens' weakest point is the zonal region about 12-18mm away from the image center, or about halfway out to the FX corners. In this important region at f/2.8 and wider, it's softer than most of the other lenses on my D800E.

The sharpness differences between lenses reported below aren't likely to be visible in actual use. The real reason to choose one lens or the other is how fast you need (f/1.4, f/1.8, f/2 or f/2.8), do you want autofocus, do you want professional-level construction (28/2 AI-s, 28/1.4D, 28/2.8 AI or 28/2.8 AI-s), or if you need instant manual-focus override (this 1.8G, 24-70/2.8G or 24/1.4G).

In no particular order, here are some one-on-one comparisons at the same apertures:

 

16-35mm VR

Compared to the 16-35 VR at 28mm, they are pretty much the same at each aperture.

 

24-70mm f/2.8G

Compared to the 24-70/2.8G at 28mm, they are the same in the center.

The 24-70/2.8G is sharper in the zonal regions, while this 28/1.8 is sharper in the far corners.

The 24-70/2.8G wins.

 

28mm f/1.4 AF-D

Compared to the 28/1.4D, they are the same in the center at the same large apertures.

The 28/1.4D is a bit sharper in the zonal region at the same large apertures, while this 28/1.8G is a little sharper in the far corners at large apertures.

I prefer the classic 28/1.4D optically, morally and mechanically.

 

24mm f/1.4G

Compared to the 24/1.4G, the 24/1.4G is sharper in the center at the same large apertures.

The zonal regions are better in the 24/1.4G even at moderate apertures, while the corners are the same at all apertures.

The 24/1.4G wins.

 

28mm f/2.8 AF-D

Avoid the amateur 28/2.8D. It's the poorest lens here optically. Even the 28/2.8 AI-s and ancient 28/2.8 AI are far better than the crappy f/2.8D!

This 28/1.8G wins.

 

28mm f/2 AI-s

Compared to the 28/2 AI-s, this 28/1.8G is contrastier at f/2. At f/2, the 28/2 AI-s shows lower contrast from spherical aberration, and the 28/2 AI-s shows coma in the corners. At f/2, this 28/1.8G is better, except in the zonal areas, where the 28/2 AI-s is sharper.

At f/2.8, the 28/2 AI-s is sharper in the center. The 28/2 AI-s still shows coma in the corners, and is still sharper in the zonal areas, while the 28/1.8G is sharper in the FX corners.

At f/4 and smaller, centers are the same, while the 28/2 AI-s is sharper in zonal areas and this 28/18G is better in the corners.

At f/8, they're the same, as are all these lenses.

I prefer the 28/2 AI-s on feel and morals. Your choice will depend on what camera you're using.

 

28mm f/2.8 AI-s

Compared to the 28/2.8 AI-s, they are the same in the center.

The 28/2.8 AI-s is sharper in the zonal areas, and this 28/1.8G is sharper in the corners (the 28/2.8 AI-s has coma in the corners at large apertures).

By f/8, these differences are almost gone.

I'd call it a toss-up optically.

 

28mm f/2.8 AI

Compared to the 28/2.8 AI, they're the same in the center. The 28/2.8 AI is sharper in the zonal areas, and this 28/1.8G is better in the far corners.

Optically, a toss-up, while the 28/2.8 AI costs much less and is built much, much better.

 

Recommendations       top

Intro   Specifications   Performance   Compared   Recommendations   More

This is a very handy lightweight, disposable lens. It's optically and ergonomically superb, but lightly built, expensive and made in China.

It's very fast (f/1.8), but that's mostly useful shooting in 35mm in dim light. Today's DSLRs work so well at insanely high ISOs that there's no reason to break the bank to get f/1.8 instead of f/2.8.

f/1.8 doesn't offer much narrower depth-of-field than f/2.8. If you want narrow depth-of-field, forget any 28mm or 24mm lens, and just use a longer lens like the 50mm f/1.8G or 50/1/8 D. Focal length has much, much more to do with depth-of-field than aperture. For fantastic ability to throw backgrounds out-of-focus, get the 85mm f/1.8G instead, which costs less.

Ideally if you carry this lens, carry only the lightweight 85mm f/1.8G in your pocket, and these are the only two lenses you'd ever need for anything and everything, especially if you use digital zoom (DX cropping set as a Function Button call-up) on FX cameras as I do. I'm serious; less is more.

Do not carry this lens with you if you're also carrying a zoom which covers 28mm, or anything in the 24-35mm range. You'll be duplicating, meaning you'll be carrying too much. You don't need to cover ever millimeter. See Assembling a System.

These caveats are all I can say bad about this great lens. Get one, and it's the only wide lens you'll ever need for a decade.

 

Deployment

I'd leave either a 67mm Nikon Clear (NC - UV) filter, or a 67mm Hoya Super HMC UV on the lens at all times. I would leave the hood at home.

If I was working in nasty, dirty areas, I'd forget the cap, and use an uncoated 67mm Tiffen UV filter instead. Uncoated filters are much easier to clean, but more prone to ghosting.

For color slides like Velvia 50, I use a 67mm Hoya HMC 81A outdoors.

For B&W film outdoors, I'd use a 67mm Hoya HMC K2 Yellow or 67mm Hoya HMC Orange.

If used with pro lenses, get a 67mm -> 77mm step-up ring, and treat this lens as a 77mm-threaded lens from now to eternity. This will save you a lot of aggravation, unless you really do build a system around 67mm filters.

Help me help you         top

I support my growing family through this website, as crazy as it might seem.

The biggest help is when you use any of these links when you get anything, regardless of the country in which you live. It costs you nothing, and is this site's, and thus my family's, biggest source of support. These places have the best prices and service, which is why I've used them since before this website existed. I recommend them all personally.

If you find this page as helpful as a book you might have had to buy or a workshop you may have had to take, feel free to help me continue helping everyone.

If you've gotten your gear through one of my links or helped otherwise, you're family. It's great people like you who allow me to keep adding to this site full-time. Thanks!

If you haven't helped yet, please do, and consider helping me with a gift of $5.00.
