Nikon Series E 28mm f/2.8 - Good Condition | Compact Wide-Angle Prime in Nikon F Mount

The Nikon Series E 28mm f/2.8 is a compact and capable wide-angle prime from Nikon's respected Series E lens lineup — a range designed to offer excellent optical performance in a lightweight and affordable package without compromising on the core Nikkor optical quality. The 28mm focal length delivers a natural and versatile wide-angle perspective that excels in landscape, street, architecture, and environmental portrait photography. Compact and lightweight by design, the Series E lenses are particularly well suited to the smaller Nikon EM and FG bodies — though they perform equally well on any Nikon F mount body. In Nikon F mount, it adapts effortlessly to modern mirrorless systems via adapter. Serial number SR 2025553.
