    28mm · f/3.5

    Overview

    The Nikon Nikkor 28mm f/3.5 Ai is a compact, all-metal manual-focus lens praised for its silky smooth focus ring (Russell Bloodworth). Optically, it is very sharp in the center wide open and relatively distortion-free, but edges are soft, limiting its use for landscape. Its f/3.5 aperture is not ideal for low light (Russell Bloodworth). It suits daylight shooting on manual-focus film cameras or digital bodies with metering support.
