Unfortunately, 28mm is totally dropped from the main manufacturers. They choose 35mm & 24mm for primes. Hence the outrageous price of the Nikon 28/1.4.

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.
