A large-aperture wide-angle lens that delivers stunning imaging power and natural bokeh at 28mm. Mount: Nikon F mount, FX format compatible. Focal length: 28mm. Max aperture: f/1.4. Filter diameter: 77mm / [AFS2814E] AFS2814E Released June 2017
Attractive versatility with a 28mm focal length. The 28mm focal length captures the natural expanse of space, making it appealingly versatile for both portraits and landscapes. Especially for documentary and street photography, the natural angle of view—neither too wide nor too narrow—allows for thoughtful composition and angle control. Furthermore, the minimum focusing distance of 0.28m allows for boldly close-up shots. By capturing a wide background, you can capture the atmosphere of the scene. High Resolution for High-Resolution Digital Cameras: The latest optical design delivers high resolution, capturing fine detail not only in the center of the image but also in the periphery. This lens maximizes the potential of high-resolution digital SLR cameras. It delivers sharp images across the entire image field, even at maximum aperture, and consistently high image quality even when stopped down. Beautiful, Natural Bokeh: Despite being a wide-angle lens, the bright f/1.4 maximum aperture and nine-blade circular aperture deliver large, beautiful bokeh. The natural bokeh, free of double-line blur, in both foreground and background bokeh further expands the scope of photographic expression. ED Lens Effectively Reduces Chromatic Aberration: This lens employs two ED lens elements to effectively reduce chromatic aberration. This lens further improves image quality by suppressing color fringing caused by focal shifts due to light wavelengths. It is particularly effective at reducing color fringing caused by axial chromatic aberration. Low distortion achieved through the use of aspherical lenses. This lens minimizes image distortion, a common problem with wide-angle lenses. Distortion occurs when the magnification of a subject changes depending on the image height (distance from the center of the frame) when the subject is focused through the lens. The use of three aspherical lenses effectively compensates for this distortion by continuously varying the refractive power from the center of the lens to the periphery. High-performance point-image reproduction. With typical fast-aperture lenses, shooting at wide apertures can easily result in sagittal coma flare, in which the image of a point light source appears as if it has spread wings. The AF-S NIKKOR 28mm f/1.4E ED's superior optical performance, achieved through the use of three aspherical lenses, effectively suppresses sagittal coma flare, achieving high point-image reproduction even at wide apertures. Excellent resistance to backlighting, reducing ghosting and flare. Nano Crystal Coat effectively reduces ghosting and flare for clear images. While offering a wide angle of view that allows the sun to easily enter the frame for landscape photography, it also offers excellent resistance to backlight.
Dust-, weather-, and dirt-resistant for worry-free outdoor shooting. To prevent dust and water from entering the frame, the lens barrel and other moving parts are designed with dust and water resistance in mind. Furthermore, Nikon's exclusive fluorine coating on the front and rear lens surfaces makes dust and water resistant and easy to wipe clean, achieving high levels of dirt resistance. You can concentrate on shooting without worrying about the weather or the environment.
A focus ring with just the right weight for superior manual focus operation. Despite being a quiet and fast AF lens with a built-in SWM (Ultrasonic Motor) and RF system, it also provides superior manual focus operation. The focus ring has just the right weight and smooth rotation, allowing for precise focusing that reflects the subtle sensitivity of your fingertips. ■ Specifications ■ Focal length: 28mm Angle of view... 75° (FX format digital SLR camera) 53° (DX format digital SLR camera) Shooting distance scale: ∞ to 0.28m Minimum shooting distance: 0.28m Maximum aperture: f/1.4 Minimum aperture: f/16 Lens construction: 14 elements in 11 groups (2 ED lenses, 3 aspherical lenses, Nano Crystal Coat, Fluorine Coat) Number of aperture blades: 9 (circular aperture) Dimensions: Maximum diameter 83.0 x length 100.5mm (from lens mount reference plane to tip of lens) Weight: Approximately 645g Accessories: 77mm spring-loaded lens cap (LC-77), back cover (LF-4), bayonet hood (HB-83), lens case (CL-1118) □ Manufacturer's warranty period 1 year
