nikon 28mm f1.8

You mean this lens using with FX will be better then crop body?
Crop body can't get sharp image when wide open f1.8:sweat:

Taken on wide open in DX sensor is like that one.. if stop down on f2.8 should be sharp at all

Correct using FX is much better sharpen on close up focus.

But make sure the shutter speed should have 1/60s lah.

Mine only taken at 1/40s..

Nikon Secret Uncovered

The DISTORTION CORRECTION option is grayed-out on my D800E with my brand-new Nikon 28mm f/1.8G, but works perfectly with my 20-year-old 35-105mm AF-D.

Huh?

This uncovers a mystery: Nikon obviously has lens coefficients stored in the camera's firmware, and doesn't include new lenses until they're announced and Nikon revises the firmware.

This keeps you guys who decompile the firmware from discovering what new lenses are on the way since they're not in the firmware, but also means that new lenses won't be supported for in-camera distortion correction until the next firmware revision is distributed and we load it into our cameras.

This also confirms that Nikons really do have all the data for all their lenses in each camera. Cool.

This is better than Canon, who expects us to download lens profiles the hard way, while Nikon, duh, has enough memory in our cameras to store all the coefficients we'll ever need. I had to wonder about Canon; gigabytes are just about free today.

Hi guys do you think it's worth spending $850 to upgrade from my current 35mm 1.8G to this? I'm very tempted as it gives me that extra width however is the price to performance ratio worth the upgrade? Will use it mainly for street especially in tight environment when I cant take any more steps back. Correct me if I'm wrong but it's about taking 2-3 steps back between the difference. I almost bought it today but held back after making a call to my friend whom ask me to think about it first. PS i do have a 50mm 1.4G lens on my D7000. Thanks

35mm f1.8 is a very good lens. A 24mm lens will be a better upgrade if you intend to remain on crop. I believe you won't be using f1.8 when doing street photography. 24mm will give u 36mm FOV, which is pretty good for street photography. If you decide to upgrade to FF, then it's a different matter altogether

My view is the same.. if its me.. if on DX.. I will stick to the 35mm f.18. Reason is at DX.. 28mm and 35mm are pretty close.. but price is more than twice.

imho ermm with dx 1.5 crop factor, 7mm difference equal to 10.5mm FOV.if u ask me, i would say it not Close. but on fx, yes 7mm will ne pretty Close.

imHo a nano coated fx wide angle lens at sub 1k price tag , is quite attractive. of Course if u can afFord 3k, u shld get the AFS 24MM F/1.4G.

U should get a 24 afd f2.8 instead .. 28mm afs does not perform so well on dx, try read up from website photozone

On the contrary, 7mm from 28mm to 35mm is quite a diff on FX.. At wider angle, the lesser mm difference you need to make a difference in the field of view.

Very sharp, no doubt, but is it just me, or does anyone notice the CA? The green and pink ones. :dunno:
