Pros: Sharpness, Construction, Three-dimensionality, Dynamics, Color Yield

Cons: They don't do it anymore

Opinion: I took it 3 years ago from a friend of Juza's for about 100 euros, and I totally fell in love with this lens. A three-dimensionality to be frightening. Unfortunately they stole it from me last year, and I still cry if I think again and if I see the prices of the used... Beautiful color yield, very natural, not too contrasted, with a dynamic rendering on the blacks excellent. A smooth, pleasant ice to use, easy to focus on. On FF is the street lens. On APSC (42) it is very versatile even for portrait and I have pulled out the most beautiful shots I have in memory. Blurred not over-the-c--but incredibly "realistic" and with a cinematic non-sis. Who knows, maybe I speak only out of nostalgia, but as soon as I find it I buy it back, whatever it costs.

Pros: Optical yield, size, compactness, build quality, minimum distance maf 20 cm with close range correction, absence of distortion, sharp to ta from edge to edge

Cons: They don't do it anymore. He doesn't have the Af. It's not tropicalized.

Opinion: I was lucky enough to be able to buy it again in 2020 (stock residue). It's a stratospheric optics. It has an impressive sharpness on the edge without optical distortion, even 20 cm from the subject. It is a versatile lens, compact, well built. A great lens for me. It beats only the 28mm f1.4d, but at ta it is not so sharp and does not have the same homogeneity from edge to edge up to f4. And it costs used 2 times this new. If you don't need an af, this is the 28mm to take for Nikon.

Pros: Overall yield, microcontrast and color saturation, excellent sharpness at the center, construction, it behaves very well on low density sensors up to f8 and on very dense sensors up to f5.6.

Cons: Edge sharpness acceptable by f4, start diffraction from f8 to d810.

Opinion: Used mostly for landscapes and street (in hyperfocal) it was a real surprise. An excellent manual focus and well-built at an honest price. It always behaves excellently, giving back crystalline images and colors saturated and well contrasted. On the 36 mpx of the d810 comes to life. Better yield at f5.6, where the edges are good. On dense sensors it is better not to go further, otherwise start diffractive phenomena (already at f8), with a slight drop in sharpness. Vote 9

Pros: Sharpness across the entire frame and constant to all diaphragms, "almost" macro, weight, size, construction, old but remarkable colors

Cons: Nobody, except the price in the used, but more than justified.

Opinion: I can not hide that under the 50 this is how it is rendered my preferred optics; I recently took the Sigma 35 Art beyond the focal point, it is completely different as a concept of optics and while being content, if I was forced to throw one from the tower, the Sigma buttered without hesitation. This improper comparison with the latest and very good Sigma 35 is to emphasize its quality. Remarkable in the blur of TA, remarkable in yield in the landscape, remarkable in the absence of distortion, remarkably close at hand thanks to the minimum 20 cm MAF, perhaps its most distinctive feature. I share those who preceded me: if one is lover of the Nikon vintage optics together with the masterpieces 105 2.5 and 180 2.8 ED, this can not be missed, but I also recommend it to the AF only, maybe for "relaxing" And think and who likes the close photo.

Pros: Construction, weight, size, crisp, glassy rendering, color and passionate forms.

Cons: Sometimes it is hard to focus when focus (especially when the light is not 'friend').

Opinion: Objective assoluto.rnE 'very, very similar to the 28mm f3.5, which is in a bit less contrast, so I use it instead of APSC (D300) to its full potential, while this one has a better fuzzy and well digradato , focus to 20cm away from the subject, and has a more vivid clarity and marcata.rnForme and colors are tasty / and full-bodied, like the pictures of the great glamor magazines, full of depth and sensazione.rnE 'fairly neutral, which whether inanimate objects or human forms, capturing the significant details of everything without attacking, keeping a second participant and plan well digradato.rnLa made the edges is equal to or slightly lower than the 3.5, but not much. The strength of this lens is that it has a rather uniform behavior at all diaphragms without boring the quality or sharpness falls. I plan to buy a 28mm f2 ais, but put me thinking of its vulnerability to the reflections and reverberations of light, inconvenience I suffer frequently on meor 85mm f2 ais TA.rnAd in every way, is a prestigious lens and worth the money it costs (used I paid 300euri, original in excellent condition), also because there are no other 28mm of the same optical quality nor higher, home Nikon, (not even 28 f1.4AFD, which is greatly brighter, but qualitatively not higher. but Costa six / seven times!). rnInsieme to 105 to 180 f2.8 and f2.5 ais ais ED is a lens to hold on to for vita.rnFocheggia at close range, giving photographs a fantastic prospective momentum, while maintaining a certain geometric balance and contained distortions (24mm, for example, is too extreme for me as it has the most close fires therefore tends to bend the lines. The 28, instead, is very similar to 35, but most 'athletic' and dynamic)
