  • "Crappy" little lens? Not!

    This thing is all plastic, including the mount. You might think that's a problem, but really it's a benefit because the result is an extremely light lens. I have had no durability problems, but I am admittedly very careful with my equipment. I use it on a D610 for indoor basketball, family activities and more. The 28-80 range is handy for getting the right shot and the images are sharp. You can spend a lot more money to get a midrange zoom lens, but if you are shooting a Nikon that does not require AF-S to autofocus, this little gem is a no-brainier.

  • all plastic construction on the outside with good glass on the inside

    this is one of those lenses that contains 8 elements of fine Nikon glass shrouded in an all plastic container. It costs less, weighs less but performs well. There is no internal motor in the lens for focusing so your camera must have a built in motor of it's own which eliminates all of the new entry level Nikon DSLR's.

  • Vintage Nikon

    Adding another to my collection of vintage Nikon glass. Actually, I already acquired this same lens, as a "G" version, but had to have this one with the aperture ring, to satisfy my old Nikon film days, plus gain the ability to use the lens manually. Not to mention, but these inexpensive, plastic body lens actually have excellent optics - just handle with care, or possibly break off the plastic "F" mount.

  • Great budget short zoom!

    This is a Great budget short zoom! While it has a plastic mount, not metal, it’s still a well made lens. It’s very lightweight for all day comfort, and tack sharp, like you’d expect from Nikon. It has great close focus, and the ability to reach slightly distant subjects with it’s 80mm zoom. Plus it works on most Nikon AF film SLR’s, DX and FX format digitals. It also provides nice overlap with Nikon’s excellent 70-300mm FX VR zoom. Very low price on eBay makes this a can’t miss deal!

  • Suprising picture quality from a low-priced, lighweight piece of cheap-looking plastic. Have faith!

    Probably the lens needs little introduction; on the Internet it is a relatively well-known Nikon "cheap gem". It does look and feel flimsy and crappy. Its low-grade plastic bears no comparison to the material of AF/AD-D or modern (motorized) Nikon lenses. Focusing or zooming gives a somewhat scary plastic-to-plastic friction feel - nothing to do with classic 'silky' helicoids of older MFs or even the smooth working of modern better-grade lenses. On top, this particular version has a slim focus ring - rather ugy and not too practical to manipulate. The 58mm filter thread is not common and discourages bying a new set of accessories singly for this lens. If I were to wish for one improvement, that would be a non-revoving front end to spare me a real headache with polarizers and other directional filters. *However*, it works quite smoothly on my D700 and the optics are very clear. It produces pictures sharp and with minimal deformation - certainly up to and above my amateur standards. The focus is rapid and accurate (at least the speciment I bought). It is also practical to carry around: very light and, for its zoom and apperture range, reasonably sized (not too big; not too compact, either). In conclusion, at this price I am very-very pleased with the 28-80mm f/3.5-f/5,6. I certainly recommend adding one to your Nikon glass, even just to keep as an easily portable all-aroud backup lens. I added a centre-pinch cap (more practical) and a standard UV filter to protect my investment :)

  • Light, sharp, inexpensive

    This lens is a hidden gem. Lightweight, sharp optics. Will work with Most FX and DX Nikon DSLRs. Autofocus only works if camera body has the mechanical coupling for D lenses. My D750 will autofocus; my D5500 won't, but autoexposure works. It also focuses extremely close for not being a "macro" lens

    WORKS GREAT. Just have to see that the aperture ring is not set to its minimum aperture for the AF to work.

  • Good zoom lens.

    This is a good zoom lens for a good price. It works smoothly in focusing and in zooming. The images are sharp but not razor sharp.

  • Nice lens if your Nikon supports it

    This lens requires an autofocus motor in the camera body. I have a D80 and it works well. Price was right.
