Pros: Lightweight, accurate construction, sharpness, power zoom.

Cons: Plastic attachment, no lens hood.

Opinion: Purchased primarily for my video production business, I needed a motorized zoom lens to fit into my Z 50, which I use with the video gimbal and monopod. I can only say good things about the lens, stabilized when needed, the motorized zoom easily managed by touch directly on the camera monitor, allows you to make stable and continuous zooms. I would have preferred a wider range, let's say a 12-35mm, at least reducing the wide-angle a little, but these are completely personal needs. If anyone wants to see the result of the above, here is a link to one of my works using (as a third camera), precisely the z50 with the 12-28: https://youtu.be/80zfC81v-2U?si=RleWwRuoXjP-iHM0

Pros: Sharpness, light weight, portability, stabilizer (4.5 EV), zoom smoothness, AF speed

Cons: Lack of lens hood

Opinion: I recently bought this beautiful lens for my Nikon Z50, in order to replace the now outdated Nikkor AF-P 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6 VR, which did not convince me on the Nikon Z. The new Nikkor 12-28 is a little gem for sharpness, at all focal lengths and with almost all apertures, portability and fluidity of zooming with the power zoom system, which in my opinion is very effective. The stabilizer is very useful and powerful: it allowed me to shoot handheld at 12mm at 1/2 second without any motion blur. The color rendition and contrast are also great. Too bad for the lack of the lens hood in the package which, like all Nikons, if purchased separately has an exaggerated cost. Fixed the problem with a compatible at 18 euros. Overall rating: 10!

Pros: Slight sharp contrast

Cons: No lens hood, variable diaphragm, but lightness has its price

Opinion: Excellent in everything, sharp and contrasty as needed, only in the most difficult light situations (highlights) it suffers a little. but everything recoverable in PP.la sharpness is very good at wide apertures and excellent from f\\8 up. they could put the lens hood in the box and it would have been perfect but combined with the Z30 it's fine così.la construction is totally plastic and needs to be careful in use. The front cap is excellent.

Pros: Image quality, lightness, price

Cons: No lens hood, variable diaphragm

Opinion: Bought, sold, repented, bought back. This lens, for Nikon landscapers, is really good (of course it's also the only one). The image quality is impressive, I don't find any flaws in it. The weight is really ridiculous, well built even if made of plastic: in short, a really good lens, as Nikon has accustomed us. The only things I don't like are the lack of the standard lens hood, it costs 50€ + shipping costs to buy it separately (if they had made the lens cost 489 instead of 439 people bought it anyway and they were all happier, strange choices) and the variable diaphragm, I explain: it is not a con that it is variable in itself, but had it been consistent F4 it would have been much better and looking at what the market offers I doubt Nikon doesn't have the know-how to do it. In conclusion, however, a really good goal, look at the photos to believe it.
