Here's what I wish someone had told me: 1) Put A LOT of thought into what subject matter you will be shooting most often. For example, If you mostly shoot your kid's soccer games, you will most certainly have to have a fast (f/2.8 or wider) prime or telephoto lens of at least 200mm and you may even want 300mm, and most likely with VR. Yes, today's cameras can handle high ISO's however, for indoor sports and night games, there is no substitute for 'fast glass'. Conversely, if you mostly shoot buildings or real estate, you may find that you do not need any lenses beyond about 50mm or 90mm focal length. 2) NEVER duplicate focal lengths. For example, if your buy a 28-200mm zoom lens, do NOT turn around and buy a 35-70mm zoom. You already have those focal lengths covered. 3) If you even THINK you miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight want to shoot 35mm film at some point in the future, and you have a Nikon digital camera, do NOT buy a lens with the letter "G" in it's description. It will not be fully functional with most of Nikon's classic 35mm film cameras. Get the "D" lenses. They are bargains AND unless you're shooting professionally, you will not notice or care about the negligible increase in sharpness that SOME newer lenses have. New is not necessarily better. A lot of pro photographers will swear that some of the old, manual focus Nikkor lenses from 30+ years ago, are among the sharpest 35mm lenses Nikon (or anybody this side of Leica) ever made. I have a 30+ year old 28mm AI-s, manual focus Nikkor that's sharper than Vermont cheddar. That damn thing is ||

The 35mm 1.8g DX is very usable on modern FX bodies, even without the crop mode, you just have to live with the slight vignetting /Holga effect at a certain shooting distance, it's not really of an issue once you get used to it, and it is much much sharper than the old 35mm f2
@MirrorlessReviews12 жыл бұрын
Yes, not all cheaper lenses are suitable. But I can assure you the 35mm f2D and 50mm 1.8G at f/2.8 will be sharper than the pro 24-70mm corner to corner. The 35-70 comes close (especially at the center) as it was also a pro lens back in the days. The 28-200 is a superzoom and we shouldn't expect great optics from it, except it's great as a light travel lens.

This is a great review. I would suggest looking into Nikon 24mm f/2.8 instead of 35mm lens. Another lens that could be a nice alternative (to 28-200 G) is an older 28-105. It is cheaper and it has a macro mode at 105mm.

PHOT0GUY That looks like an interesting lens. I would love to try it out. Meanwhile I can only compare them based on online reviews. And it seams like there were some compromises made to double the range. Whether those are acceptable or not I cannot judge before paying with it myself.

+Vitaliy Gyrya Be aware that there is some sample variation. The lens I have is not as sharp on the left edge on full frame wide angle until stopped down a few stops. It is very handy having the close focus at 200mm though as it lets you be a little further from insects etc when doing close ups. A big bonus is that it only weighs 13 ounces.

With a D700 at $365, that brings back full-frame and quality glass in the market. Great review, thanks :)

Everyone forgets about these 2 budget, but outstanding Nikkor lenses. The 28-80mm f3.3 - 5.6 G and the 80-200mm f4.5 - 5.6 D Sure they are plastic but the glass is what counts. The 28-80mm has only 6 elements in it the same as the 50mm f1.8 D Insanely sharp. The 80-200mm will stun anyone with it's sharpness and great color rendition. You can get the 28-80mm for $40 and the 80-200mm for $50 in good or better condition.

In this case, cheaper doesn't mean less resolution. All of these lenses (except maybe 28-200mm, but that's expected) have excellent MTFs. They are very sharp even for APS-C sensors such as D7000, which has about the same pixel pitch as D800.

It's a very exciting lens to use because I mostly use it for fast action, there's no delay or hesitation in AF it just snaps from target to target. Probably my sharpest zoom lens as well.

I would really recommend just the tamron 28 70 g2 used. On dx its range from 36 to 105, all at f2.8. Instead of having multiple lenses, a used cost of around 850 usd is actually a much headache free decision for both dx and fx owners. I have 35mm, 50mm, 85mm. All those primes might be gone now after I bought the tamron. No need to go about changing lenses.

I use the 35-70 instead of my 24-70 G AF-S when taking into situations where the more fragile / expensive lens could be damaged. It performs very well in comparison and with the price difference is a great low cost FX lens. Everyone needs to know that it suffers from a structural flaw that effects most if not eventually all. One of the internal optics separates and exposes the cement causing a haze that effects contrast. I had my problematic optic replaced with one that will not separate and it is like new again. Just remember you will have to add in this repair cost on top of the lens purchase. I would not use the 35-70 with the haze. The 35mm F/2 D and the 50mm 1.8 G are also great choices. I have both and use them along with my higher end glass. Great review.

It's 2021 and I'm still using my D700 and I wouldn't consider the 28-200 f/3.5-5.6G lens because it doesn't have VR but in 2021 Nikon mirrorless bodies have IBIS which would solve the lack of VR. If it were me I'd get the 50 f/1.8G because of upward compatibility with newer Nikon bodies that don't use the in camera focus motor. Yes the 35-70 f/2.8D is an awesome lens, I've made money using that lens but like all push-pull lenses it will introduce dust to the image sensor. I agree with you that the 35 f/2D is an awesome lens and I prefer it to the 50 f/1.8 or 50 f/1.4G lenses I own but I replaced it with the much better 35 f/1.8G which is also compatible with Nikon's Z mount!

How many lenses are needed to cover 35-50 range? I believe there is a lot of redundancy in these selections. Better to cover ‘ultra’ or ‘wide’, mid prime, tele, super tele… pick 3 or 4 carefully and you cover 10/20 to 200/300mm for under $1000...

a person could save even more by considering 'af (non-d)' versions of lenses. all that 'd' adds is the possibility of 3d-matrix metering and distance information for the flash, which i guess only matters if you're shooting through a mirror. they auto-focus slowly, but so does the af-d version, relative to af-s. here are the prices i scored on adorama and ebay, respectively nikon ed 80-200 2.8 af (non-d) $300 nikkor 50 1.4 af (non-d) $130 i haven't found any parallel bargains at the wider end. the do-it-all 28-200 would take the fun out of the kit for me; i wouldn't take it off the camera. plus it's too slow to be a bargain for $300. of course the dx 35 1.8 af-s ($120) is a no-brainer if you're shooting dx. otherwise it seems like you have to go manual focus or third party or give up the pro level speed.

Firstly, all the D lens in this video is sharp from end to end, by only using 35mm and 50mm mostly can done all the standard job.. professional prefer prime over zoom.. Second, getting power D prime and put on FX its tottaly different level.. even the sensor also affecting the picture sharpness, colour contrast and etc.. and for those always shoot under super low light, its DX is totally useless, except you do it for ur own hobby.. Doest mean that i say you are wrong, but its depend what kind of job u doing, for professional studio work, even using D3000 and 18-55 kit lens with good studio lighting, is far more enough. But when at field shooting such as wedding, the camera performance will be more important. but that 28-300 serious crap~

I love nikon for this. Their D series lenses are a steal. They af on bodies like the D750 and are so freaking amazing in quality and yet cheap just cuz they are old. The 135 F2 D for eg is a phenomenal lens for the price! and most important to notice is that nikon actually still manufactures these lenses; though they are not in stock most of the time and you need to speak to a high ranking sales rep to get them in my country. These lenses put out a real amazing statement that you don't need to spend a tonne for amazing quality. Nikon can easily discontinue these lenses and force people to either buy used or get the newer freaking expensive lenses! But they haven't done that and that's what I love about the company. Even their mount is so old and amazing that a lot of vintage lenses work on it. It really unlocks millions of possibilities - not just for the wallet but also for the creative minds. The only lens I'd love to add to this list in 2020 is the 85 1.8G. It sells at around $350 new here in India and there isn't anything close to it's quality at that price point. Only lacks VR but that isn't important in 2020 for photographers cuz the cameras not can shoot in virtually no light!

I would use either combo for soccer or low light situations where reach is a factor. The 800-200mm lens is effectively a 120-300mm at 2.8 and the 70-300mm VR is 105-450mm on the D7nnn cameras. I am very happy with indoor club shots on a D750 at up to 3200 iso on with TheBeast. I have shot 1000s of NCAA women’s soccer photos with TheBeast day and night on a D750. Mostly from behind the goal out to 50 yards. I prefer imag shots. I have also shot length of the field shots handheld on a D7100 with the 70-300mm VR. Still had to crop a little, but that’s on a 140 yard field goal to goal. There is a reason nikon made the D500. Crop sensors rock for sports because who can afford a $7000 lens? A 200 shot RAW buffer?

There can be issues with cheaper lenses when you use the latest D800/D800E because they give such a good resolution that you differences between the lenses.

Hi, thanks for sharing. I have a D610 but I only have DX lenses, will these lenses get rid of the crop factor issue and take advantage of the full frame feature? I did not understand if these are FX lenses... Thanks!

I am about to purchase a D7100. If you could pick only one, what would it be? I need all around kicker, meaning, a bit of a portrait, automobile photograph, etc. Do you think I would be good with the 35-70 or you would suggest me something else? Budget of about $400 ..
@PHOT0GUY8 жыл бұрын
the 18-200mm would be a good general purpose lens and if you buy used you would probably have enough left over for a prime lens too.

You can say that again! Cheap lenses just suck. Their softness and CA will be quite noticeable with a full frame sensor.

I compared my new 24-70 f2.8 and my 10 year old Micro nikkor 60mm I set the 24-70 to about 60mm. Result: what a difference. The photos taken with my new 24-70mm lens are so much sharper in combination with me D800 than the photos take with my 60mm lens although I always thought the micro nikkor was a bloody good lens. So, you can make a mistake getting a cheaper lens when it comes to the D800.

uping the iso to compensate for no stabilization is a poor choice to make.....need to stay at or under 70mm with NO stabilization.....f3.5 is not acceptable, need constant f2.8.....

Your recommendation goes against the review of Kent Rockwell. It seems that the G version is adding more distortion on FX camera and has mostly no advantage else that having an internal AF. I'm going to buy one of these lenses tomorrow(!). I was about to buy the D model.

Hi, any alternative for my d7000? Looking for a fixed 2.8 zoom 50/70 max lenght but hard to find. 28 on DX isn't wide, any old Af zoom starting from 17 or 24? Cheap, under 150€
@leoborn65956 жыл бұрын
nerd Mike Theres nothing with 2.8 for this price. You can take a look on the Nikon 18-70mm 3.5-4.5. This costs in good condition around 100$.

I have the same 35-70mm 2.8 zoom lens. But I have a problem with it, sometimes when i put my aperture at f2.8, and zoom in or out, the aperture automatically jumps to f3.5, and i can't put it back to f2.8, I have to undo the lens and put it back on. ever had the same thing with yours?

what's the difference between DX and FX lenses ?
@makalu698 жыл бұрын
+Kyle Roxx DX are for cropped frame sensors (D3xxx, D5xxx,, D7xxx) and FX is for Full frame cameras (D6xx, D7xx, D8xx etc).
@PHOT0GUY8 жыл бұрын
You can use FX lenses on DX cameras and FX cameras but if you use a DX lens on an FX camera you will usually get a lot of vignetting unless you just use the central portion of the image. The only major difference is that an FX lens will produce an image that covers a larger area than a DX lens (to cover the FX sensor). Magnification is identical though e.g. a 50mm FX lens will produce the same size image on a DX sensor as a 50mm DX lens would.
@rodrigopages10548 жыл бұрын
you can use fx lenses on dx but you have to account for the 1.5x crop due to dx being smaller than full frame (FX) you can use both type of lenses on FX cameras and but the DX ones will be used on DX crop mode on your camera to avoid vignetting, the other way works perfect no vignetting and gives you de advantage to keep the lenses for a future upgrade to a full frame camera and use them at their full potential and at their actual focal length ;)

Does it work the other way around? So fx lenses on dx bodys?
@GOWZDAWG199 жыл бұрын
All FX lenses will work on any DX bodies, just add the x1.50 crop factor. For example: 24mm FX lens it will become 36mm if you put on a DX body. If you use a DX lens on a FX body you'll get a black crop around the edges of your viewfinder and you won't be able to use the full potential of a full frame sensor but it'll work.
