Quantaray 28-90mm F/3.5-5.6 Aspherical Macro D Autofocus Lens For Nikon Review

The Quantaray 28-90mm f/3.5-5.6 Macro D is a budget-oriented standard zoom for Nikon F-mount cameras. With a focal range extending from wide-angle to short telephoto, it covers everyday shooting scenarios and adds macro capability with a 1:4 magnification ratio at its 90mm end. The lens construction uses eight elements in seven groups with an aspherical element, and the nine-blade diaphragm should produce reasonably smooth bokeh. Close focusing distance is 0.4m, and it accepts 55mm filters.

This lens is available on the used market and serves as an inexpensive option for beginners or hobbyists looking to experiment with a versatile zoom range without significant investment. The variable aperture of f/3.5-5.6 is typical for budget zooms of this era and means reduced light-gathering ability at the long end. As a legacy third-party lens, build quality and autofocus speed will not match modern standards, and image quality will likely trail contemporary Nikon or Sigma lenses. It fits best as a secondary lens or starter zoom for casual shooting.
