>>3111865Well the E-Series 28mm is Nikon's worst 28mm, so your impression of it being junky is certainly accurate. But it's not a "kit lense" by any commonly understood meaning of the phrase.
And the E-series lenses are mechanically "Ai-S", but are not in the Ai-S series of lenses, if you catch my drift. It would be worth more than a similar vintage tamron or vivitar 28mm, but not a lot more.
>>3111979>These look great.thx bruh
Have a proper expensive Nikkor 28/2.8 Ai-S photo, on HP5 in Tmax.
