    Overview

    The Nikon AF Nikkor 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 D IF is a versatile, affordable FX zoom lens (about $120–$175 used) with good sharpness and color rendition. Its macro mode offers up to 1:2 reproduction. Weaknesses include significant sample variation, plasticky build, short focus ring, and mediocre bokeh. It suits budget-conscious photographers needing a lightweight, all-purpose lens for travel, portraits, and close-ups, but buyers should test copies for decentering.
