Nikon AF Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 D (I)

"Crappy" little lens? Not! This thing is all plastic, including the mount. You might think that's a problem, but really it's a benefit because the result is an extremely light lens. I have had no durability problems, but I am admittedly very careful with my equipment. I use it on a D610 for indoor basketball, family activities and more. The 28-80 range is handy for getting the right shot and the images are sharp. You can spend a lot more money to get a midrange zoom lens, but if you are shooting a Nikon that does not require AF-S to autofocus, this little gem is a no-brainier.

all plastic construction on the outside with good glass on the inside this is one of those lenses that contains 8 elements of fine Nikon glass shrouded in an all plastic container. It costs less, weighs less but performs well. There is no internal motor in the lens for focusing so your camera must have a built in motor of it's own which eliminates all of the new entry level Nikon DSLR's.

Vintage Nikon Adding another to my collection of vintage Nikon glass. Actually, I already acquired this same lens, as a "G" version, but had to have this one with the aperture ring, to satisfy my old Nikon film days, plus gain the ability to use the lens manually. Not to mention, but these inexpensive, plastic body lens actually have excellent optics - just handle with care, or possibly break off the plastic "F" mount.
