AF-S NIKKOR 28mm f/1.8G

An example of environmental portraiture with a wide-angle prime. The 28mm allows you to capture background elements while remaining intimate with your subject. The fast f/1.8 renders both sharpness and bokeh beautifully, with its own distinctive perspective.

This lens' fairly short minimum focus distance gives you an edge when shooting wide-angle close-up photography. An open aperture of f/1.8 helps you achieve shallow depth of field while maintaining wide-angle coverage. The results can resemble a macro-lens, as seen in this flower shot.

The fast f/1.8 broadens your hand-held shooting capability in low light. This night image was shot using a fast 1/400 sec. shutter speed while ISO was still 800. Notice the sharpness and fine details found in the female subjects, as well as pleasant rendering of illumination in the background bokeh – all indicators of lens quality.

This night landscape shows how delicately a high-quality fast prime lens handles light. Take note of the smooth tonality in the sky, as well as the detail in the shadowy areas. Also noteworthy are the properly rendered highlights in the neon sign – no noticeable aberrations.
