Video: Nikon 28mm f/1.8G AF-S Hands-on Review

Watch the video reviews of Nikon 28mm f/1.8G AF-S review with the Nikon D700.

Bring a dramatic wide-angle perspective to your still and HD video shooting. The AF-S NIKKOR 28mm f/1.8G’s fast maximum aperture lets you create in nearly any light—dusk to dawn, indoors or out—and offers outstanding depth-of-field control. Nikon’s exclusive Nano Crystal Coat nearly eliminates the ghosting and flare seen with some wide-angle lenses for improved clarity and contrast.

Nikon has launched the AF-S Nikkor 18-300mm F3.5-5.6G ED VR lens, a 16.7x superzoom for APS-C DSLRs.

The lens is a much more complex design than the existing 18-200mm – utilizing 19 elements in 14 groups and, at 120mm long, is 23% longer. It features a 77mm filter thread.

AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR Release Date, Price, Specs, Where to Buy

Nikon has announced the AF-S Nikkor 24-85mm F3.5-4.5G ED VR, a comparatively affordable, stabilized, variable aperture standard zoom lens for full frame cameras. It comes as Nikon celebrates the sale of the 70 millionth Nikkor lens since 1933, and the 30 millionth silent-wave motor lens since the system’s introduction in 1996. It’s hard not to interpret the announcement as lending weight to the rumors of an affordable full-frame body, since it’s hard to imagine large numbers of D800 owners using a lens with a recommended price of $599 as their everyday lens.
