A fast 28 that tells the truth—with depth, glow, and gorgeous falloff.
If you love lenses that feel natural yet cinematic, this is your storyteller. At f/1.4 it soaks up low light and draws attention with gentle, rounded bokeh; stopped down it’s crisp and honest from center to corners. Think street at blue hour, wedding dance floors, night cityscapes, environmental portraits, and even stars—this 28mm brings scenes to life without calling attention to itself.
What you’ll notice in use
-
Speed you can see: A bright f/1.4 aperture for low-light confidence and expressive depth-of-field.
-
Signature rendering: ED and aspherical elements with Nano Crystal Coat for high contrast and reduced flare/ghosting—clean point lights and rich color.
-
Quiet, precise focus: AF-S Silent Wave Motor with full-time manual override lets you fine-tune instantly.
-
Consistent exposures: E-type electromagnetic diaphragm keeps aperture actuation accurate during high-speed bursts and video.
-
Built for the real world: Weather-sealed barrel and a fluorine-coated front element that resists smudges.
-
Works great on Z: Pair with the Nikon FTZ adapter for full autofocus and exposure on Z-series bodies.
-
Versatility of 28mm: Wide enough for story and context, close-focus friendly for intimate details, flattering for people without distortion drama.
Who it’s for
Documentary and wedding shooters, night and city-light explorers, environmental portrait makers, and anyone who wants a fast wide that balances character with modern sharpness—on F-mount DSLRs or Nikon Z via FTZ.
