    Overview

    The Nikon AF Nikkor 28-80mm F3.3-5.6G is a compact, all-plastic kit lens praised for surprisingly good optical performance given its low cost. It features a fast f/3.3 wide end and a rounded 7-blade diaphragm. Weaknesses include variable aperture, slow telephoto end, and flare susceptibility. Build is lightweight and amateurish. Autofocus is accurate but loud. It suits beginners or those seeking an affordable, versatile walk-around lens for film or digital.
