FX wide-angle prime for Nikon F-mount

The Nikon 2203 is a 28 mm f/1.8 lens built for FX-format cameras and also covers DX sensors with a 53-degree field of view. Its G-type design places aperture control on the camera body and the Silent Wave Motor delivers quiet autofocus with full-time manual override.

67 mm filter thread and rear-focusing design

The lens accepts 67 mm screw-on filters without rotating the front element during focus, simplifying polariser or ND use. At 0.85 ft minimum focus distance and 0.22x magnification it suits environmental portraits and close-up detail work while keeping the barrel length constant.

Upgrade from slower kit zooms or older 28 mm primes

Photographers moving from variable-aperture zooms gain a constant f/1.8 maximum aperture for low-light handheld shooting and shallower depth of field. The two aspherical elements plus Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings reduce flare and distortion compared with earlier single-coating designs.
