Lens You Should Get for Your Nikon D5200 DSLR Camera

[@RobertXPhotography]

The lenses you should get to start off are as follows: 35mm 50mm 85mm The 85mm is perfect for portraiture, but on a crop sensor camera the 50mm turns to an 85 (just about) so I guess you can use that. Forget about getting your "zoom" lenses first. Get good glass first and learn how to frame your photos first.

[@rohanarchive]

sell your 3 zooms because they all cover the same range, pick up a sigma 17-55 2.8 o.s. and then grab a nikon 55-200. fewer lenses. same focal range. and the 17-55 is sharper and constant aperture.

[@sixcycle]

Great video. Common misconception with lenses as a beginner or amateur is that filters always help. This is not the case. The filters that I see in this video don't even look like they are multicoated, and if you're using a cheap lens with a cheap filter on top it could actually detract from the quality of your photos. A much better way to protect your lens without sacrificing image quality is something you already have - lens hoods. And unless you can't spare the space in your gear bag, I would highly recommend keeping the hoods on at ALL times. Even at night. It won't take away from your image, and it will always help to protect against bumps and other accidents as well as doing its primary job of getting rid of unwanted light flares and other effects in your shots.

[@stephenchase2047]

nice video explaination, I have only the kit lens 18-55mm and the 55-200mm for my nikon d5200, and want to shoot the fireworks in dubai this new year what would you suggest using please ?.

[@dial2fast]

Depending if you want the close up shot or an entire view of the landscape. Probably the 55-200mm if those are your only choices. Both those lens are quite slow and don't do all that well in low light. Really, you should use a tripod with those lens.

[@stephenchase2047]

ok thanks for your reply.

[@GarveyAlexander]

which of these four would you use for low light?

[@Ark7760]

35 1.8g

[@cbinthebibledaily2840]

The 35 mm 1.8 the 1.8 is the f-stop or aperture they mean the same thing lets say nikon made a 35 mm 1.2 (they don't toy knowledge ) the 1.2 would let in even more light. The lower the f-stop the more light it lets in. If a lens is at F 22 that pic will be really dark

[@arabindasen3]

I own Nikon D3100. My gear is same as yours. The only exception is I did not acquire Nikon 18-110, Instead I bought one Tamron 17-50 F2.8. I think it is a worthy upgrade from my kit lens although much weightier.. Pictures shot by me by this lens are sharp across focal lengths with good colour depth/saturation, and the added advantage is constant 2.8 aperture which is great for night shots. It has no VR, but in daylight shooting conditions, you can easily avoid blurriness as the shutter speed is above 1/30 which I can manage.The Sigma 18-200, the same as your own, is a good walk around all purpose lens, although it best performs in mid range apertures, from F/8 to F/11. Otherwise pictures would be unacceptably soft. Of course for persons with deeper pockets should go for Nikon 18-300, if they do not like frequent change of lens which is really difficult in certain situations. Nikon prime lens that, i.e., 35 mm 1.8G is a must have one as it is really a fast lens with exceptionally good photographic results combining advantage of light weight. However Nikon would have done better to add VR feature to it which definitely would help its wide aperture advantage in low light shootings.

[@mikeweismann2275]

nice, i purchased a d3100(kit,w/18-55),i have recently purchased a d5200,along with,a 35mm f1.8,18-105 and a 70-300...all nikkor lens....between the 2 bodies i think i have it pretty much covered....great products....great price....very user friendly....i use my d3100 as my kick around camera.....freakin awesome pics.....and i really have no idea what im doing

[@drjayf]

Great video - I've just bought the D5200 kit and this video has helped me understand which lens I should scrimp for after I get a feel for the camera! That 35mm lens is amazing and so is the 200m telephoto zoom!

[@dial2fast]

Thanks for your comment!

[@villegas24]

the 35mm is an extremeeeemely good lens. I've tried many many lenses of different manufacturers and that must be the best value for money I've got.

[@paulblais2927]

The 50mm f/1.8 G is just as cheap and just as wonderful on the cheap side of the fence! A better portrait lens too. I have both and see the difference and use them both for different things.

[@villegas24]

Paul Blais yep, bought that one too. It s awesome.

[@watuzi]

What bag(s) and tripod(s) do you use? Thanks for all your videos.

[@laurisuurmaa2752]

I have D7200 and Nikon 18-140mm 3.5-5.6 DX (for general shooting outside during bright summer days, travelling), 50mm 1.8g (for portraits), 35mm 1.8g DX (for general shooting), 17-55mm 2.8g DX (for indoor events, landscapes and citypanoramas, bought a used one, because new is very expensive), and Nikkor 24mm 1.8g (for street photography in low light, also indoors). Planning to buy Nikon 300mm f4e pf for wildlife and macro photography.

[@wyattmacewen9534]

will the nikon 70-300 work on a d3400

[@marianl3251]

Just bought my first DSLR (decided to finally upgrade from the point-and-shoot), picking up photography as a hobby so not a professional at all. Just had to say that I enjoyed this video, thank you for ending it with sample photos. Well organized and helpful.

[@hamishh9075]

What is the battery, grip thing on the bottom of your camera called ? And how much is it ? Cheers

[@lokatpic]

I have a Tamaron 18-270 mm lens. I bought it used on Ebay. $200.00 It does all my pictures . I don't need to buy extra for portraits, sports, or family. Next lens a wide angle. 10-24 mm Tokina,Sigma, Tamaron.

[@BeTechers]

Hi! Nice Review....let me ask you,,,after you buy the 18-105mm, do you stil use the 18-55mm kit lens? I thinking about getting the 18-105mm and sell my kit lens, because i think there will be no use anymore....and the glass is better than the kit lens? Did you fell any diference in the photos? Comparing the Sigma x Nikkor 18-105, much diference in the shots quality? Sorry for all the questions and tks in advance!

[@aravindmj920]

Ive got a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8, 70-300mm f/4.5-6.4, kit and a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8. It's quite a good combo and covers all my needs. I'm thinking about a macro now.

[@mariuszmeu]

the sharpest of them all is sigma 17-50 f/2.8 . this is equivalent of well known 24-70 f/2.8 , so the most used lens .

[@menaatef1780]

please what about the quality of the pictures ( the details-colores-saturation-sharpness-efficiency of VR-focuse speed ) took with highest zoom in both lenses Segma18-200 and Nikon18-105 ?? thanks

[@Gostrix]

Im after a lens for night photogoraphy, any ideas?

[@Gazandsarah15]

would of been nice to see the pictures you took with each lens to show to results you can get

[@DLCSpider]

Why not the Samyang 85mm 1.4 + 35mm 1.4 and a zoom lens (like the 55-200mm)?

[@ShravanAnand]

I have only nikon 18-55mm lens sall i take another 55-200mm lens or 70-300mm lens

[@Cavian18]

why did you get 3 times 18-xx mm lenses a bit overkill for that range dont you think?

[@HockeyChick147]

Awesome..I bought a D5200 Nikon last fall and this video really helps me in what I'm looking for, Thank you!

[@ZappaBlues]

I have a D5300 - I still have the 18-70mm I go with my D70s about 12 years ago. It's a decent piece of glass. I picked up a 55-200 DX zoom used for cheap It's the older VR, not the newer VRII - not the greatest, autofocus is a bit slow, but does it the job, most of the time. I also have the 35 f1.8G - decent lens, does available light well. The last lens I got was a 10-20mm AF-P zoom. Everything is BUDGET that I bought new on sale or used. I'm thinking about getting the 70-300mm AFS FX zoom to replace the 55-200. There were 4 used listed locally the last time I checked. I am on a fixed retirement income and what I have just fits what I can afford. The 18-70mm is also fits my calibrated Infrared converted D80 that I picked used about 6 years ago.

[@MK-tn1fx]

Simple instructions, easy to understand and good voice to follow. Thank you!

[@davedowe6821]

If you have the 18-200 Sigma, why bother with the 18-55 and 18-105?

[@dial2fast]

Every lens mentioned have its own pros and cons. It may be picture quality, or weight of the lens, or speed of focus, or how much zoom you need. All these factors are dependent on the user's needs. It's like asking people what is the one best car to buy.

[@dprizzeh]

dial2fast If I may, did you ever consider getting the Nikkor 18-200mm VR 2 and selling the three other lenses (the 18-200 Sigma, 18-55 and 18-105) because it's the best of both worlds in terms of build quality, focus speed and overall sharpness of lens.

[@NickBishtVlogs]

what lens would you prefer for videography?

[@jenniferanderson5633]

Thank you so much!! I bought this camera for a family vacation. This really helped me through all the setting's and I will probably be referring back to it quite a bit.

[@st08121982]

What is the point of having the 18-55 lens when you have the 18-105 ?

[@dial2fast]

There is no point in having the 18-55 if you have the 18-105. I was just showing all the lens in my possession.

[@paulblais2927]

There isn't one. the 18-105 is actually better. Not by a huge amount at all but at worst as good. The 18-55 is an old design and they fianlly came out wioth a new 18-55 recently that might be OK.

[@jazzjms4648]

You mentioned that Nikon has two 18-200mm lenses, the VR and “the other is a VRII … which has a better vibration reduction”. This is not the case as the II simply means that the lens is the second version. Both lenses use the same vibration reduction and optics. The II lens adds a lock switch and has a different lens coating than the first version lens. I would also like to mention that Sigma’s zoom and focus is like that of Canon which is backwards to Nikon. This may be no big deal but people should be aware of it as it may take some getting used to. Tamron lenses zoom and focus like Nikon. Also, there are a couple of well known online players in used equipment that I think people should consider. Their equipment is graded so you have an idea of what you are buying and returns are accepted. I like this idea better than ebay although I do own a like-new lens I got off of ebay for a great price. I also purchased a factory refurbished Nikon 18-105mm lens (with Nikon warranty) for $200 that is indistinguishable from new.

[@Sadstar658]

[@ivandjolic4832]

Do you ever carry both 18-55 and 18-200? If you do - why? Thanks for the video.

[@joukek]

I'd want to buy the D5200 with instead of the 18-55 lens, the 35/f1.8 not-zoom lens, because several people, like Ken Rockwell and Dpreview, say then you get the best quality photos, you get the most out of the 24 mps. Besides, it;s a wider lens, more light can come throught, so with little light you'll get better pictures. What do you think of that?

[@michaeltbui]

I'd say if you could/want, you should really get the zoom, because it performs really well for what it costs, and with the 35mm you should be able to get more detail than with the 18-55, but it's still decent for the cost. It is closer to a 'standard' lens which has the field of view of about 50mm which is closer to your normal field of view. Yes it's also a 'fast' lens which lets more light in, but that doesn't directly mean you'll get better photos.

[@joukek]

Michael Bui Thanks for your reply, Michael. I already bought the 35mm lens. After a while I think I'm going to buy a 18-200 zoom lens..

[@Jhvxgir]

I think with Sigma 17-50 2.8f EX OS HSM and Tamron 70-300 VC is enough to start, both are very good lens, avoid Sigma 18-200. And if you need a wide angle pick Tokina 12-24 DX II. I am talking of a quality/price equipment. If you don't mind budget pick at least a Nikon 17-55 2.8f

[@rajmech159]

Is Nikon 200-500mm lens is compatable with d5100.

[@AraniMitra]

I wish to buy a DSLR. Which camera within the same range as D5200 is better and which lens? I really need good zooming but not that good quality.

I have a D5200 camera.I am a hiker,which lens should i buy for landscape photography . May i use 2.8 lens in this camera.

[@smcgilli34]

Thanks for the info! My question is, rather than the 18-200 Sigma, why not get the Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG Macro Nikon-f? That gives you more zoom and also a very nice macro feature. Look forward to your feedback. Thanks!

[@dial2fast]

Scott, every lens has its purpose. The 70-300mm surely have a big zoom but loosing the wide angle range may not work for some people. So depends on the type of photos you take, find the lens that best suits you.

Nice video, but I wouldn't use filters in lens where the image quality is already kind of low and the lens are not so expensive… since I have similar camera I can advise you a tamron 70-330 VR is really good cheap zoom. Good idea to get the 50 1.8, the 85 may be too much zoomed in with a crop sensor. Cheers!

[@igorgakalo4412]

Thank you so much for this video! One thing I would like to know is if there is a difference between shooting at 18mm on 18-55 and 18-200. I wonder if 18-200 makes picture 'closer' at 18mm.

[@dial2fast]

The 18-55 at 18 will probably give you a sharper image than the 18-200

[@eskepan]

I have the two on the right, 35 and 18-105. I actually bought my D5100 in a kit with the 18-105 and with the extra 35 I added its a perfectly solid kit I have now. Maybe I'll get an even bigger zoom lens later though.

Hi. I have a D5200 I recently purchased just to make KZbin videos in my home. So I won't be taking it out of the house. What is your recommendation for KZbin videos & I'm hoping that some of the clicking noise will be reduced with a better lens? Or should I be investing in a better external mic? Or both?

[@ayannagirl123]

Your statement is very true I'm just starting out with photography. I decided to purchase the d5200 and I've had it for a few months now, but I'm ready to get a new lens because the kit lens just isn't settling for me anymore.

thanks for the great video I understand it better now I have this camera with its standard 18:55 lens but I am planning to work in portraits and photosession and weddings in generals, so what is your suggestion for a strong one with high depths of field ? what do you think of the prime 85 mm ???

[@juansolis4952]

+Ahmed Gemy I have Nikon AF FX NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G lens is a sharp lens with beautiful bokeh, good in low light. I highly recommend.

[@TonyShaw234]

My d5200 is my first DSLR and I'm loving it, I have had it 10 months now. The only thing is how expensive a hobby it becomes lol, I sold the kit lens and purchased the Nikon 16-85mm for my general "go to" lens and find it superb the extra 2mm coverage is bigger than I expected. I also own a 35mm 1.8 for general house parties etc, 50mm 1.8 for portraits and I have just bought the Nikon 70-300mm but have not really had a chance to use it yet. So hopefully I have a good coverage of focal lengths. I am now looking for a speedlight for flash fill, any recommendations?

[@jazzjms4648]

I own two Yongnuo YN-468II Speedlights for my Nikon cameras and would defiantly recommend them. The 468II can be used in I-TTL with Nikon or operate in full manual, multi, or as an optical slave. Adjustments in any mode can be made in 1/3 or ½ stops from full to 128th power. The flash zoom can be set in auto or manual. The 468II will swivel/bounce, has a metal hot shoe, PC socket, built in bounce card & diffuser and uses an LCD screen. I bought mine on Amazon for under $100 each while a comparable Nikon Speedlight is over 3 times the price. BTW I just ordered a Canon version today for a friend for $87.

[@TonyShaw234]

+N Hai Nguyen (Skyline ゴジラ) Defo go get the 70-300 VR. High quality lens, and perfect for travelling! Kompact, lightweight and so sharp! 300 dollars used on ebay all day.

[@ZappaBlues]

the 70-300 FX lens is a better choice than the DX of the same focal lens.

[@randomrazr]

a 35mm seems wide for portraits?

[@jeffrydemeyer5433]

It is, the short focal length isn't that interesting for bokeh either, you need to be very close to get an out of focus background and pretty much can forget throwing the foreground out. It how ever is a nice wide and cheap lens that will give you that extra bit of light the kit lens will not get you. If you want to play around with shallow dof, still have sharp images and don't want to spend about as much on a lens as you did your camera get the 50mm 1.8.

[@johntucker23]

And don't forget he's using the D5200 so his 35mm is about 52.5mm aint it? or something around that point, so still wide but not as wide...i use the same camera and for portraits i use the 50mm 1.4G cos that puts it close to an 85mm on my DX cam.

[@randomrazr]

maybe u guys should go, ful frame wth a D600?

[@sayan8587]

should we use the transparent filters?

[@ChillWithMe_musics]

They are called UV filters, and their only use is to protect the front glass from scratches. If you use your DSLR for family shoots, etc, there is not much reason to buy it. (By the way, tiny scratches have zero affect on the image quality) Professionals mainly use UV filters to maintain the resale value of the 2-3000$ lenses, but that's it. So it's really up to you, it's not a big deal if you don't have it, glass is a though material.

Wrong information about Nikon 18-200mm lenses. The older and the newer versions of this lens are almost identical. They both use the same 2nd generation Vibration Reduction system and are optically identical.

However we now have two girls, one currently in ballet. She would like to upgrade our camera for DIY home pictures/portraits. I personally love taking pics when i go to the mountains and sporting events. I bought a 5200 with the nikon 15-55 and 55-200 lens, but i'm seeing a ton of other options and after seeing your video i'm wondering if i should consider a different option for my lens. We aren't pro shooters and never will be, but we do like photos. Any thoughts?

[@dial2fast]

I think you should first get use to what you have. Then you will quickly realize the limits of what your current lens can and cannot do (depending on the type of pictures you take). After this, you will know what type of lens you need. Ex: is weight important to you, or if you need the wide angle which your 55-200 can't cover, etc. I still love my 18-105mm as far as versatility. If I need the extra reach, then grab the lens that goes to 200 or 300mm

[@ihabahmed1132]

which is better having one 18-200 lens or having two lenses 18-55 & 55-200

[@dial2fast]

+Ihab Ahmed It really comes down to weight. The 18-200 lens is heavier to use if you have it on your neck all day. Where as the other 2 lens require you to swap as you need.

[@ihabahmed1132]

So it's only a weight issue and the photo quality is the same did i understand right.

[@dial2fast]

These lenses are all decent lenses, but not great like prime lens.

[@ihabahmed1132]

Thanks you but prime lens are very costly

[@Twill812]

Thanks for your review of the lens you use for the D5200. I current has the kit lens 18-55 and bought in Sept. the Nikon 18-105 for my trip to Maui. the 18-105 is a great all around focally length lens. I looking to get a zoom lens (x to 300) not sure which name brand yet. Your information has been very helpful.

even though i take perfect photos and videos and i have been asked to be a filmer for many people, i still cannot get a camera (cannot afford it). What would you suggest I do? Oh, and i am 13

[@AlexanderKrebs]

why these filters in front of the lenses? they cost light and sharpness? and why tired after a day with such a light 200?

[@Yadenadamma]

Hi, I film in my room at the moment what lens would you recommend if I want to film full body in small space “cheap” of course. Thanks

[@phanigokaraju4834]

hi, could you suggest me a good battery grip for D5200?

[@GabriLinkHD]

+Phani Gokaraju any grip should work fine just like any grip could give you problems. That's life when Nikon doesn't provide one. Try Meike, they seem "reliable"

I'm big in landscape photography and have been using the 18-105 kit lens. It's good but I'm looking for a replacement to give me better image quality and mainly less noise. Will the 18-200 do that for me?

[@dial2fast]

The 18-200 is a versatile lens but I don't think it will give you better image quality than your 18-105mm

[@Jefff72]

What lens would you recommend if I'm looking for image quality in a sunrise or sunset shot? Basically low light. I have so far sold one of my photos and have people lined up for some others. But again, I feel the images could be better.

[@OneLousyShot]

Will these Len's fit on a d3200 Thank you

[@dial2fast]

Yes

[@Traigoeltaco]

Any suggestions of a lens for low light pics?

[@dial2fast]

+Danny P Choose a lens with big aperture opening (f stop). The smaller the f stop number, the bigger the aperture opening (which allows more light). Look around and see what price range works for you.

+Danny P Nikon 35 mm F1.8 G DX

Thnx! :)

[@endoumamoro]

plzz tell me sir,which 2 lenses should i buy for making my music video,plzz reply n is nikon d5200 is good for making music videos?

[@dial2fast]

The Nikon 18-105 could be a good choice for your videos. As to making good video, you have to master all the manual settings, then your videos will be good.

[@cbinthebibledaily2840]

I have a 50mm 1.2,ais lend and I love it but nikon you guys need to make an autofocus 1.2

[@kimberlymae6471]

Which of these lenses would be best for video filming (interviews/ scenery) with that blurry background effect? I have the 18-55 kit lens already. Please help, I'm a beginner to DSLRs ☺! Thank you, hope to hear from you!!

[@shang-hsienyang1284]

Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 is perfect for your need. 35 for interview, 18 for portrait, and the f/1.8 gives you a good background blur.

[@shang-hsienyang1284]

By the way, when you use 18mm, the photo may be slightly distorted. Please correct it with Adobe Lightroom.

[@Heygirlitspearl]

Thanks for this video....are you in Atlanta?

[@Withjaimelee]
