Description from the seller
Nikon AF Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6D [MKI] (Nikon)
Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.
About this Lens:
The Nikon AF Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6D was introduced in 1995 as a compact, lightweight standard zoom for Nikon's AF SLR system. This is the first version (MKI), produced from 1995 to 1999, identifiable by its narrower manual focus ring. It uses a 7-element / 7-group optical formula incorporating a hybrid aspherical element, designed by Nikon's NIKKOR kit-zoom designer Mr. Toshikazu Kobayashi. The lens covers the classic 28mm wide-angle to 80mm short-telephoto range — a versatile everyday focal length spread for travel, family, and street use.
The "D" designation means the lens transmits subject-distance information to the camera body for use with 3D Matrix Metering and i-TTL flash exposure control. Made in Thailand.
Compatibility:
- Mount: Nikon F (full electronic CPU coupling, with mechanical aperture ring).
- Autofocus: This is a screwdriver-driven AF lens. AF is available on Nikon film and digital bodies that have a built-in AF motor (e.g. F4, F5, F6, F100, F90/F90X, F801, F801s, D7000–D7500 series, D90, D200, D300/D300s, D500, D600/D610, D700, D750, D780, D800/D810/D850, D1/D2/D3/D4/D5/D6, etc.). On bodies WITHOUT a built-in AF motor (D40, D40X, D60, D3000–D3500 series, D5000–D5600 series), the lens will function only in manual focus.
- On Nikon Z-series mirrorless cameras via the FTZ / FTZ II adapter: manual focus only (the FTZ does not drive screw-type AF lenses).
- For automatic exposure on most film/digital bodies, the aperture ring should be locked at the smallest aperture (orange f/22 mark).
Condition: USED — Excellent +5
Pre-owned with only minimal signs of use. The rear element shows a very slight haze, but it does not affect the resulting images. Cosmetically very clean, and fully functional.
