Quantaray 28mm f/2.8 Nikon F Mount Lens

The Quantaray 28mm f/2.8 for Nikon F-mount is a lightweight, budget-friendly wide-angle prime lens that offers surprisingly decent performance for casual walkaround or landscape use. Manufactured by third-party makers like Sigma or Cosina and rebranded under the Quantaray name (often sold through Ritz Camera in the 1990s and early 2000s), this lens provides a classic 28mm field of view on full-frame Nikon bodies and a ~42mm equivalent on DX-format cameras—making it a handy semi-wide on digital or film.

With its f/2.8 maximum aperture, it handles indoor and low-light scenes decently while still being compact enough to toss in a small bag. The manual focus throw is smooth, and the optical rendering is punchy and vintage, especially on color negative film or adapted to mirrorless.

This particular copy is in excellent condition, fully functional, with only a tiny amount of internal haze, which should have negligible effect on image quality in normal shooting situations. It’s a fun and affordable way to get into manual-focus wide-angle photography on Nikon F-mount cameras or adapted digital bodies.

Condition: Excellent

• Glass is clean with just a small amount of edge haze—unlikely to impact image quality
• No fungus, scratches, or separation
• Focus ring is smooth with even resistance
• Aperture blades are clean and oil-free
• Mount is in great shape with minimal signs of use
