Nikon Zoom Wide Angle-Telephoto AF Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6G Autofocus Lens

The AF Zoom-Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6G is an ultra-compact and lightweight standard zoom lens designed for Nikon FX full-frame DSLRs, DX-format bodies, and compatible 35mm film SLRs. Covering a practical wide-to-telephoto focal range, it offers an easy walkaround option for everyday photography, landscapes, and portraits. Its optical construction includes one aspherical element to reduce spherical aberrations and Nikon’s high-performance Super Integrated Coating (SIC) to minimize flare and ghosting while enhancing color fidelity and contrast. As a G-type lens, it omits a physical aperture ring for streamlined, electronic aperture control through the camera body.
