Nikon AF Nikkor 28–80mm f/3.5–5.6G – Silver, Lightweight AF Zoom

The Nikon AF Nikkor 28–80mm f/3.5–5.6G in silver is a compact, lightweight mid‑range zoom designed for Nikon F‑mount film and early digital SLR cameras. Its 28–80mm range covers everyday shooting needs from wide‑angle to short telephoto, making it a practical walk‑around lens for travel, portraits, street photography and general use. The silver finish pairs especially well with early silver Nikon bodies such as the D50, D70 and F65/F75 series.

The G‑type design removes the aperture ring, allowing the camera body to control aperture automatically—ideal for modern Nikon AF bodies.
