Description — Nikon 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 D
The Nikon Nikkor AF 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 D is a Full Frame zoom lens built around the Nikon F mount, designed specifically for DSLR cameras. It spans a 28–200mm focal length range, giving photographers wide-angle through telephoto reach in a single optic. The maximum aperture is f/3.5 at the wide end, narrowing to f/5.6 at 200mm.
Both autofocus and manual focus are supported, allowing flexibility depending on the shooting situation. The lens accepts 72mm front filters, making it straightforward to add polarizers or ND glass. Weighing in at 520g, it offers a manageable carry weight for the zoom coverage on offer.
