Nikon AF NIKKOR 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6 G Autofocus Lens, Silver
The Nikon AF NIKKOR 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6 G is a remarkably lightweight and compact standard zoom lens, finished in a stylish matte silver. Designed to offer maximum portability without sacrificing Nikon’s signature optical quality, this lens is an excellent “walk-around” choice for both film and digital photographers. Covering everything from a wide 28mm perspective to a 80mm portrait length, it provides the versatility needed for landscapes, travel, and candid family moments.
Versatile Standard Zoom
Wide-to-Portrait Range: The 28-80mm focal range is ideal for everyday photography. At 28mm, you can capture expansive architecture and group shots, while zooming to 80mm allows for flattering portraits with natural perspective.
Ultra-Lightweight Design: Weighing in at only a few ounces, this is one of the lightest zoom lenses in the NIKKOR lineup. It is designed to be comfortable for all-day use, making it a perfect companion for vacations and day trips.
Nikon “G” Series Technology: As a G-type lens, it features a simplified design without an aperture ring, allowing the aperture to be controlled directly from the camera body for seamless integration with modern Nikon SLRs.
Reliable Optics: Despite its compact size, the lens features Nikon’s Super Integrated Coating (SIC), which helps to minimize flare and ghosting while maintaining excellent color balance and contrast.
Speed and Precision
Fast Autofocus: When used on Nikon DSLRs and film bodies with built-in focus motors, this lens provides quick and responsive autofocus performance to ensure you never miss a fleeting moment.
Distance Information: The lens communicates “D-type” distance information to the camera, supporting advanced 3D Matrix Metering and highly accurate i-TTL flash exposures.
Close-Up Capability: With a minimum focusing distance of approximately 1.1 feet throughout the entire zoom range, you can get close to your subjects for detailed shots of flowers, food, or textures.
Compatibility Note
This is a G-type lens. It is fully compatible with all Nikon DSLRs that have a built-in autofocus motor. For entry-level DSLRs (such as the D3000 or D5000 series) that lack an internal focus motor, this lens will function in manual focus mode only.
