Focus on infinity, then you'll have your f/2.8

 

Focus closer means focal length increases - but maximum front lens diameter doesn't. f (focal length) divided by 2.8 is 53.6mm lens diameter, more or less. That is, why apertures are correctly written as f/x.

 

 

So, all what's happening is your camera (Nikon?) is giving you the correct aperture to calculate manual flash lights or other light sources for macro shots.
