Yep. The OP reported that in fact it was sample variation and he/she is now very happy with the lens. It can be hard to keep track of such things, when old threads with a lot of responses get ...

I bet we’ll eventually get a 28mm f/1.8 S lens. It seems like too important and popular of a focal length to skip. The 28mm f/2.8 is small and fun and does a great job, but it’s not an S-line lens.

I personally would reach for a 35, but it’s a bit of a personal choice and I do happen to love the 35mm field of view for walking around in cities at night. The 35mm f/1.8 S is exceptional, ...

I like this ... with eight lenses, I think I'm done acquiring any new ones (for now). But longer term, I also think I'm done selling lenses, since I do value each of them. Plus, selling my 24-70 ...

Just an FYI ... I'm seeing in stock at Adorama, Unique Photo, B&C Camera, B&H Photo ... Nikon must have delivered a large shipment of these to retailers. Nice. Mine is arriving today.

Mostly jpeg only, and for the most part that is sufficient. If it's low or challenging light or if I'm approaching a scene that I think may be something special, then RAW+jpeg.

I wouldn't worry about it at all. If the shutter is rated for 200k and you're at 20k, honestly, you're probably going to be onto a new body before this one wears out. The lasting investment within ...

Nice shots. The 40mm is great for restaurants -- the 28mm as well. It's so much better than taking a huge rig out to photograph food or friends at the table. People just don't love having huge ...

I ended up selling mine. Got $375 for it. As I said earlier, if I change my mind I could always rebuy a copy for the same or less money. I just have too many lenses and couldn’t justify keeping ...

I've been out and about with just the z 28mm f/2.8 and have taken some informal portraits, thinking at the time that I wished I had a 50mm with me instead. But I've been pleasantly surprised by ...

I'm struggling with a similar decision. I do appreciate the smaller size of the 24-70, but I have the 24-50 when I want to go really small. So I'll probably list it for around $400 and see what ...

For me, the small front elements (particularly on the 28mm) negate the usefulness of the hood, but I guess I'm glad there are inexpensive options for those who feel they need them.

Shipping and I now have a UPS tracking number.

I just ordered one from Unique Photo in NJ. I checked first and they are an authorized Nikon dealer. Found them by googling the lens. Now I need to sell some stuff ...

Nice selection of images. I really like the second one in particular. For some reason I cling to this notion of the street photographer making the best of it with one small prime, and I have ...

This has been one of the frustrations about buying into a new system as it's being developed. I have chased down and acquired lenses as they've come out, only to realize later that a newer lens ...

Where did you hear this?

I am a little concerned about the size, to be honest. I used the 28-85 in F-mount and I'm used to the size of the 24-70 f/4 in Z mount, but I do have other smaller options (24-50, 28, 40), and the ...

Seems like they're getting caught up with this lens, which is great news. I'm going to hold out a little longer and see if my local shop gets it in stock. I'd love to handle it a bit before buying it.

Hmm. Interesting. Have you experienced this with other lenses? I ask because another user, goactive I believe, reported some misses with this lens but not with his others. And he is a pro who ...
