AF-S Nikkor 28-70mm f2.8 D



AF-S Nikkor 28-70mm f2.8 D  ~ Nikkor Crinkle Finish Lenses
s/n 266309

What a fantastic lens! I would venture to say that this one is going to be mounted quite a bit on my D780. It is a bright lens that is easy to use and it is quickly becoming one that I look forward to using. The below set is from my first walk about with it. Later this morning, I’ll hike Tempe Butte to take a few close up images of a few petroglyphs that I found. I’ll post those as soon as I get home.

I have a G series (gelded) lens, the AF-S Nikkor 24-85mm f3.5-4.5 G ED VR FX that I have quite a few images from that I really like. That lens is lighter and has VR yet the 28-70mm f2.8 is a faster lens with an aperture ring.

I’m going to work with this lens because I like everything about it except the weight, it’s heavy. It’s acceptable, even enough to hike with it but not in hand or on a strap, in my backpack.
