Nikon's flagship 28mm f/1.4 — professional wide prime with Nano Crystal coating and E-type diaphragm.
The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 28mm f/1.4E ED launched in 2017 as Nikon's ultimate wide-angle prime for F-mount. The f/1.4 aperture at 28mm provides extraordinary low-light capability and subject separation at a wide angle — rare and demanding to engineer well.
Optically outstanding — sharp from f/1.4 with exceptional correction for a fast wide-angle. Nano Crystal coating eliminates ghosting. The E-type electromagnetic diaphragm ensures precise exposure during burst. AF-S motor is fast and quiet. ED glass controls chromatic aberration.
Nikon F mount with 77mm filter thread. Approximately 645g. No weather sealing officially though build quality is excellent. Minimum focus distance 28cm. 9 rounded aperture blades. Professional-grade construction.
Available used at professional prices. The Z 28mm f/2.8 is cheaper but much slower. The Sigma 28mm f/1.4 Art is the main competitor. For professional F-mount users wanting the absolute best 28mm — outstanding for events, street, and environmental photography.
