Lens Overview — Nikon 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED IF

The Nikon Nikkor AF 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G is a full-frame zoom lens built for the Nikon F mount, offering a wide focal length range that spans from 28mm on the wide end all the way to 200mm at the telephoto end. With a maximum aperture of f/3.5, this lens covers an impressive range of shooting scenarios within a single optic, making it a practical choice for photographers who want flexibility without swapping glass. The lens supports both autofocus and manual focus operation, giving shooters the ability to switch between focusing modes to suit the situation.

Designed specifically for full-frame DSLR cameras on the Nikon F system, it is compatible with the broad ecosystem of Nikon F-mount bodies. Weighing in at just 420g, this is a notably compact and lightweight option given its 7x zoom range, which makes it well suited for travel or extended handheld shooting sessions. The filter thread measures 62mm, which is a common size that makes finding compatible filters straightforward.

Image stabilization is not featured on this lens, so shooters will want to account for that when working in lower light or at longer focal lengths.

Key Features — Nikon 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED IF

28-200mm Zoom Range: A 7x zoom spanning wide-angle to telephoto covers a broad range of shooting scenarios without changing lenses.

Autofocus with Manual Override: Supports both AF and manual focus operation, giving shooters flexibility to switch modes as the situation demands.

420g Compact Build: At 420g, this is a notably lightweight optic for its 7x zoom range, making it a practical choice for travel photography.
