A. Sneak Preview: Nikon AF-D 28mm f/1.4 - borisbg - 03-03-2012 It looks like Markus is on the roll. It is pleasure visiting PZ a few times a day, always something is gong on. Sneak Preview: Nikon AF-D 28mm f/1.4 - Brightcolours - 03-03-2012 Quite a nice lens, the bokeh looks pleasant too. Was it a loaner from a "reader"? Sneak Preview: Nikon AF-D 28mm f/1.4 - mst - 03-03-2012 No, it's not a loaner.

They choose 35mm & 24mm for primes. Hence the outrageous price of the Nikon 28/1.4.

[/quote] Well, 28mm fell out of grace with photographers, mostly. 35mm is the standard "normal" wide, and 28mm just is a bit uncomfy between that and the really wide 24mm. So, partly a problem of demand. Besides that, Canon still has its 28mm f1.8 USM in its line up, and just replaced the old 28mm f2.8 with the new 28mm f2.8 IS.

That said, I have a 28mm F/2.8 AiS <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />... which I only use for close ups.
