28mm filters out the bokehfags and gearfags, if you need 100mm f0.95 to make good pictures you suck

28mm 1.4 is pretty fun though. I'll post some later.

I don't like 28mm that much either, 24 or 35 is often much better. I like it on crop though.

what are the best 28mm for Nikon z ?

Anon08/26/25, 20:56No.4462928
I honestly haven't used it much and I'm having a hard time adjusting to it for some reason. I actually find it easier to go wider, and I don't even do that very often. Picrel is the "best" 28mm shot I've taken lately.

It is better than 35mm that is never enough wide or tight. At least 28mm is always wide enough to pack everything in to frame. 35mm and 50mm is for photographers than can not take a good picture so they rely on the dof to save them.

Utter garbage, the Winogrand length and phonefag length. Snapshittery is all it's good for. It's one of the many reasons Leica Q pix sux so much. K3k!
The underwater photo is good because being underwater actually changes the effective focal length by a 4:3 factor. A 28 underwater behaves like a 37 outside, roughly 35. In other words, a 28 is what you need to be uncle Terry in the depths.

What are you saying, it’s too wide or too tight, it seems like a very natural looking frame to see

Anon08/27/25, 12:38No.4463156
28 is just right. 24 gets distorted, 35 is just meh. Perfect wide-angle.

you need it when you need to go wider than 35mm but don't want the dreaded super wide look

28mm is the 40mm of wide angle. it's a youtube consoomer cattle focal length. so boring and mediocre phone makers decided to use it as the standard fov for their consoomer cattle phones.
if you shoot 28mm you lack any soul. you're consoomer cattle. you don't deserve the gift of life. throw yourself under a freight train. disgusting cattle.

I haven't used my 28mm prime very often. Every time I try it again, I end up preferring something much wider or narrower. However, when I adapt the lens to my M43 video camera, my focal reducer's crop factor of 1.28 makes the FOV closer to 35mm.

Nobody likes 28mm. Theres a reason why 35mm is the most popular, then 24mm. 28mm is the wide angle no mans land.

Based photography: A Technical Guide
By A. NonAlright sniggers, you need to buy nothing but prime lenses because zooms suck the sovl out of your penis.
You must shoot these things with these lenses:
>Portraits at 16mm
>Building corners at 400mm
>Birds at 50mm
>Landscapes at 1200mm
Yes. You must be a 1200mm lens otherwise you are in fact NOT based and you cannot use that to shoot birds. That's what the P320 is for.

I personally hate anything from 25 to 50mm.
28 is barely usable, I'd go wider.

28mm is for when you have a girlfriend and you want to take sexy photos to stock your coffers for the rest of your life. It's good for photos of people when you're 2-8 ft away. Phones have made it the easiest focal length for dummies to pick up. If you have a subject and beautiful natural backgrounds to put them in front of it's great. xf18mmf2 gets shat on for edge quality but it stays on my x-t2 and I hardly want to take it off.

Anon10/18/25, 13:58No.4475762
It's a zoom focal length. You're not going to get great DoF anyway, so you may as well keep the flexibility of a zoom. 50mm looks very different on primes vs zoom, 28 does not.
>t. sold my 28mm prime because i never used it
A
Anon10/18/25, 14:09No.4475765
24mm and 50mm are non-compromise focal lengths. 28mm and 35mm are compromise lengths; not wide enough to exaggerate proportions, not narrow enough for nice compositions. Good for snapshits.

I think one of the disasters of AF lens design is that people stopped giving a fuck about distance.
Because you don't need to look up to it and the camera will give it a fuck for you so you can just shutting without a cell of your brain.
