Like it's Canon equivalent, the Niklon 28-105/3.5-4.5 is an inexpensive good performer on 35mm full frame. Less than $200 used, very compact, surprisingly little barrel distortion at 28mm, sharp, minimal CA, fair bokeh characteristics, nice colors, and fast focusing despite the lack of AF-S (very short throw). Here are a couple snaps from today using the 1:2.7 macro setting:

Seems that this was a popular lens with film. Understandably less popular on APS-C digital, which is more demanding on glass (in terms of resolution) and makes this an awkward zoom range.
