Nikon AF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 D Lens: Enhanced Aperture Ring for Precise Control Review

I like this lens. Outstanding bokeh. Smooth glide for manual focus when needed. Very good condition. Arrived earlier than expected.

A good value basic zoom lens for entry level full frame DSLRs or 35mm film cameras. It's sharp, light and simple. Don't let the low price and cheap looks fool you, this lens is actually one of the best in terms of optical quality. Keep this in mind if you want to use polarizing filters or graduated gray filters.

It feels plasticky and cheap, but for the price you can have more than one, or replace many times before spending as much as others - and this one is sharper. Distortion and HA? They exist, but most lenses have them. Not bad. Colour reproduction? A little warm compared to their classic Miller Primes, but…
