Key Features — Nikon 28mm f/1.4E ED
28mm f/1.4 Maximum Aperture: Exceptionally wide aperture for a 28mm lens allows shooting in dim conditions and produces shallow depth of field with smooth background separation.

Nikon F Mount: Fully compatible with Nikon FX and DX DSLR bodies, with electronic aperture control via the 'E' designation for consistent exposure during burst shooting.
Full-Frame Coverage: Designed for FX-format sensors, delivering edge-to-edge image quality without vignetting on Nikon's full-frame DSLR bodies.
Nano Crystal Coat: Nikon's proprietary anti-reflective coating reduces ghosting and flare when shooting toward strong light sources.
Silent Wave Motor Autofocus: Internal SWM-driven autofocus operates quietly and quickly, with the ability to override to manual focus without switching modes.

Description — Nikon 28mm f/1.4E ED
The Nikon 28mm f/1.4E ED is a prime wide-angle lens designed for full-frame Nikon F-mount DSLR cameras. Its f/1.4 maximum aperture makes it a strong choice for low-light photography and for photographers who want meaningful control over depth of field in their images. Operating at a fixed 28mm focal length, the lens delivers a consistent wide-angle perspective that suits landscapes, architecture, environmental portraits, and documentary work.
Both autofocus and manual focus are supported, giving users flexibility depending on the demands of the scene. The 77mm filter thread accommodates a broad selection of standard filters, and at 645g, the lens has a solid, purposeful build. Image stabilization is not included, so users shooting handheld at slower shutter speeds should factor this into their technique.
For Nikon F-mount DSLR shooters seeking a wide, fast prime, the 28mm f/1.4E ED presents a clearly defined, spec-driven tool for serious wide-angle work.
