Review VerdictThe verdict is a bit of a déjà vu if you followed our review of the Nikkor Z 40mm f/2. The Nikkor Z 28mm f/2.8 is not a bad lens but a prime lens should be better than this. Optically, it's very good in the image center and the borders are fine as well. However, the corner quality disappoints especially at f/2.8. Autocorrection helps address the other optical flaws although the underlying native quality isn't great regarding vignetting and lateral CAs. The build quality is once again a reflection of its price point. It does the job, of course, but the lens body is an all plastic design down to the mount. It is, however, commendable that Nikon still implemented some weather sealing and the AF is actually pretty good. The Z 28mm f/2.8 will probably not find its way onto many high-megapixel Nikon cameras so that's something that we have to keep in mind here. It'll perform quite nicely on 24-megapixel cameras. Even so, it's nothing special, really.

AI-assisted summary — verify against linked sourcesWhere can this lens be adapted?
The Nikon Z mount has a flange distance of 16 mm. A plain adapter fits a camera whose flange distance is at least 1.46 mm shorter. How lens adapters work
- Native lenses set the aperture, and often the focus, electronically. On a plain adapter they do not work. Use an electronic adapter made for this pair; for many pairs nobody makes one. Fully manual lenses are the exception.
- Nikon Z DX lenses cover APS-C only.
