Considering the following for immediate purchase. Pricing research indicates KEH and eBay about the same so will likely source via KEH.
Nikon 28mm MF Ai-s f2.8
Nikon 28mm MF ai f2.8
Nikon 28mm AF D f2.8
I have owned the 28mm Ai-s in the past and loved it on my F and F2's it had huge DOF and produced great images with awesome colors. Unfortunately it commands the highest price thus stretching my budget as the holiday season approaches. I also am not a big fan of wide, the lens would be used mostly for group photos tho the D700 is so good I may get more into landscapes to expand my eye. You can see from my sig I have the 35-70 f2.8 AF D which is stellar so I have no interest in any of the fast 24-70 Nikon zooms - prefer portability of the little primes to cover the range in unison with my 35/70. I am a bit surprised at the poor reviews of the Nikon 28 f2.8 D AF - my 50 mm AF D 1.4 is amazing.
Not interested in any third party glass.
