The Nikon AF Nikkor 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5D is a full-frame standard zoom lens built for Nikon’s F-mount SLR and DSLR system. Covering a focal range from 28mm to 70mm, it spans a practical everyday shooting range from moderate wide-angle through short telephoto, suitable for travel, street, and general-purpose photography. The variable maximum aperture runs from f/3.5 at the wide end to f/4.5 at full extension. The D-type designation indicates the lens transmits distance information to compatible Nikon bodies, supporting more accurate matrix metering and flash exposure calculations. Autofocus is handled via Nikon’s screw-drive system, requiring a camera body with a built-in focus motor for autofocus operation. A compact and lightweight construction makes it an unobtrusive everyday option, and it remains compatible with the full range of Nikon F-mount film and digital SLR bodies. A straightforward and practical standard zoom for Nikon F-mount shooters seeking a versatile walkaround lens in a modest and portable package.
