Kinda long, its design, for an 28mm lens. I do not find the current generation of Nikon lenses "good looking".
About the looks, I mean that for instance the old 28mm f1.4 looks a LOT more handsome and purposeful than the new 28mm f1.8 AF-S:

But price and optics wise, it seems like a very nice one! And looks do not matter, so it seems to be a winner!

Yes, not as handsome as the old 28mm f1.4D. However, to my eyes, it looks much better than the (35mm, 50mm, 85mm)-1.8g and the (35mm, 50mm)-1.4g (about looks). I especially like the very wide focus ring.
Regarding the length, it seems that the Zeiss 28mm f2 is even longer.
