is this considered a wide angle zoom lens

No, on a cropped sensor DSLR 28 mm is the equivalent of ~45 mm on a full frame camera. Neither of which would be considered wide angle.

In its most wide angle 28mm well yes, but to take advantage depends on the format of the camera or crop as an APS-C if equate to 44.8 mm canon and Nikon APS-C or other serious manufacturers about lens 42 mm, of course not wide angle would consider, if not rather Normal, but if you are going to mount this lens on a full frame camera, of course the lens at 28mm wide angle serious. Greetings excuse my bad English.

No, it is designed to attach to the prime wide angle lens and does not go on the zoom lenses.

I wouldn't say that it is a wider angle than the low-end 14mm, but the image clarity is higher than a zoom lens at 17mm being a dedicated prime. It is certainly more compact.

It is no a zoom lens. Might be an error on the listing. It is a 30mm prime lens with largest aperture of 1.4. FANTASTIC LENS

No. This is not a zoom lens. This is a prime lens with only one focal lenght. No zoom!

Short answer is no. It's a standard 28mm lens.22mm-24mm are usually designated wide angle.Usually you have to give up some zoom or other things when you when you get to extremes (wide angle)as no lens (variable zoom) can do everything.

There is a single zoom lens, 16-50 which is the equivalent of 24-75mm on a 35mm camera. So it is a wide-angle to mild telephoto zoom. Gives very nice pictures, too!

This is not a wide angle lens. It is very close to natural view. If you are looking for wide angle look towards 20mm or wider.

No idea about your camera issues but this lens is in fact equivalent of a 24mm lens on a "full frame" (or actual 35mm film) camera. So it's pretty wide. Remember all micro 4/3rd camera lenses are exactly half the focal length of ff camera lenses to achieve the same field of view. So yes.

Technically no, this lens has a fixed angle of view equal to the normal perspective. You could however "Zoom" with your feet by moving yourself with the camera nearer or farther, which in turn teaches you about interesting perspectives. As a result of this "foot zooming" giving you different "looks" on your subject, your photography will surely improve!

Yes. It is an FX (full frame) lens and you can verify the lens format at http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses/AF-Zoom-Nikkor-24-85mm-f%252F2.8-4D-IF.html

Wide angle refers to a lens that has a short focal length, thus capturing more of the scene in the photo. This is a micro lens (Nikon calls them macro), which allows you to take pictures of objects very close up, so that they appear larger in the photo than they actually exist in real life.

It all depends on what shots you are wanting to get. If you want clear wide-angle shots of sports then this lens is for you. However, the drawback is you can't get in very close (hence 16mm). If you are wanting more close-up isolated shots of your subject, a telephoto zoom with a large aperture would be preferable. With this lens, you would only have the option of wide-angle shots at 16mm.

The short answer is; absolutely not. This is a specialty lens best used for portraiture, low light shooting or to isolate a subject that is close by. It really excels at all three. The zoom is far more versatile as a walk around lens where you will probably use it cranked to its widest most of the time.

Yes. That is the same as mine. This is a great lens, but of course it is more expensive than the 17 - 40 zoom which is also wide. In addition, the bubble shape will not accept filters so it is more difficult to protect when on location.

No; it's a very small "pancake" lens that's got a fixed optical length; no zooming required. Always ready to go. Nothing moves on the lens exterior when it's operating or waking up.

You just have to fix it to your camera lens, as in a 18.55 or the zoom lens, which ever you are planning to use. It will give you the benefit of using your zoom along with the wide angle. This is an adapter only so it has to used with your camera lens. Just screw it onto the lens and start shooting..
