Verdict
Pick the Lensbaby Velvet 28mm if you need a compact, wide-angle prime for creative soft-focus or close-up photography at a lower price. Opt for the Nikon 300mm f/2.8 if your priority is long-range telephoto reach with fast aperture for sports or wildlife, and the higher budget is acceptable. The 28mm stays the better choice for versatility in tight spaces, while the 300mm remains unmatched for distant subjects.
