A very light, small, and decent mid-range lens. Designed principally for FX/film bodies. Works on DX, but it doesn't make much sense (read on).
Pros/Cons
+ small and light
+ decent image quality
+ super cheap
- way too long for DX. 28mm is definitely not wide-angle in the DX world
- f/5.6 at 80mm
- low build quality, could easily break (then again, who cares)
Intended Users
Great for:
- Someone needing an FX lens for the old film camera but doesn't want to pay much
- If you want to pair a lens with a camera in order to increase its value for sale, this is a great choice
- expendable solution for traveling to the beach, or other situations where you don't want to expose a better lens.
Not for:
- DX, really. 28mm is too long
- Anyone owning any DX zoom that starts from 18mm
- long-term use.
Final Verdict
It's good - but not as good as a certain blogger affirms ("Top 10 nikkor lens"? Give me a break). It doesn't make any sense on DX - any 18mm- zoom is a far better option.
