Nikon 20-35mm f/2.8
The Nikon 20-35mm f/2.8 AF Nikkor D is a professional-grade wide-angle zoom for the Nikon F mount, offering a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture across its range. Introduced in the 1990s, it was aimed at reportage, landscape and press photographers who needed a fast, versatile wide zoom on 35mm film bodies.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for this lens have sat around £100, with sales in both 2023 and 2025 closing at that level. On this limited evidence the median hammer result today is £100, and clean, fungus-free copies with smooth zoom and focus action are what sells for the top end of that range — buyers should treat these figures as wholesale saleroom results rather than retail value or what a dealer might ask.
