The latest of Nikon’s high-speed, full-frame, wide-angle primes, the 28mm f/1.8G ($699, street) falls between the budget-busting 24mm ($1,999) and 35mm ($1,649) f/1.4Gs and the affordable 28mm f/2.8D ($275). The new 28mm is fast, with up-to-date features such as Nikon’s quiet SWM focusing motor and Nano Crystal Coating for improved flare and ghost control. The relatively moderate price and high utility of this new lens make it an attractive choice for users who can’t spring for Nikon’s legendary f/1.4s.
