    Overview

    The Nikon Nikkor-N.C Auto 28 mm f/2 non-Ai is a well-built, all-metal manual-focus lens. Its optical formula (9 elements in 8 groups) with CRC provides sharp center performance at all apertures and good close-up correction, though barrel distortion is typical. Weaknesses include coma and corner softness wide open. It suits photographers who value a compact, fast wide-angle for low-light or astrophotography, but requires manual metering on many digital bodies.
