    Overview

    The Nikon AF Nikkor 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED IF is a compact, lightweight all-in-one zoom praised for sharpness across its range, especially on full-frame FX cameras. It features three ED and three aspherical elements, close focus to 0.44m, and a 7-blade rounded diaphragm. Weaknesses include a plastic mount and lack of VR, making it a daylight lens. Build is almost all plastic but well-made, though not robust enough to support heavy bodies. It suits FX users wanting a versatile, affordable travel zoom, but DX users may prefer the 18-200mm VR.
