The Nikon 28 2.8 is so bad the guy in the local pro camera store refused to
let me buy it twice. I think the story goes Nikon has not getting around to
correcting it for near focus yet. This was the problem with the early AF
Nikon wides. Now they are all up to snuff with the exception of the 28.
A nice 28 is nice because with digital it becomes a a 42. True normal.

What else could one ever want than true normal?

Other than a good apology.

Their 24 is pretty nice. Becomes a 36.
