Sample pictures taken with a Nikon 28-70 AFS F/2.8 lens
Pictures taken with Nikon 28-70 AFS ED F/2.8 Lens.
Everything you’ve heard on the web about this lens is true. No wonder it is called the ”beast”. Wherever you aim this lens to, it will be in focus instantly either on a DSLR or Film. The lens is ‘S’ meaning it will focus fast and silently. we borrowed this copy from a colleage photographer for a test drive before opening our wallet. The lens proved to be a real Legend, but for our shooting style we found ourselves stuck many times at 28mm in need of a wider angle. So we went for the 17-55 AFS. We’ve lost 15mm on the long end, but we gained 11mm on the wide end; The 17-55 gives the Focal Lenght of about that of the 28-70 AFS on a film body. It is just a matter of real need and shooting style, you can’t go wrong with either one. We found slightly better bokeh on the 28-70 AFS F/2.8.
Curious about how big this lens is compared to our 17-55 AFS? Check our comparison shot below. More pictures will be added soon.
-Built like a rock, incredibly fast and silent AF thanks to its SW (Silent Wave) motor-
