Nikon's budget body-drive standard zoom — basic 28-70mm without D-chip for F-mount.
The Nikon AF Nikkor 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5 is a budget standard zoom for Nikon F-mount from the early 1990s. It covers the basic 28-70mm range with body-driven screw AF — predating the D-type communication chip.
Optically basic — acceptable centre sharpness. Variable f/3.5-4.5 aperture. No D-chip — basic flash metering. Body-driven screw AF. No VR. Adequate for casual photography of its era.
Nikon F mount with 52mm filter thread. Lightweight at approximately 270g. Full-frame coverage. Plastic construction. Body-driven AF — no AF on entry DSLRs.
Essentially free used. Any modern AF-S zoom is dramatically better. Body-drive AF limits compatibility. For absolute budget needs on bodies with AF motor.
