Nikon D50 and AF Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6 G lens.

The Nikon 28-80mm G lens weighs seven ounces (190g) and is a testament to what can be done with 21st century plastics technology and sticky tape. It is capable of delivering exceptionally good performance.
It was available new from 2001-2006 and supplied as the kit lens with Nikon’s entry level 35mm film cameras, and so it will work with both APS-C and full frame digital Nikons.
It won’t auto-focus on Nikon’s entry DSLR’s, because they lack a built-in focus motor to drive this lens.
It boasts a compound aspherical element. I don’t know what that is, but it seems to work nicely.
I paid £25 for mine, second-hand. It was the second copy I’d bought. I sold the first and missed its capability to deliver nice photographs.
