Review on Nikon 10 30Mm 3 5 5 6 Nikkor Zoom Lens by Bima ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not my best purchase, you could have found something else.

We needed a compact system for everyday wear and travel + a 2nd camera with the ability to write video. I looked at 4/3 for a long time, but I'm not satisfied with the format itself. As soon as the "ones" appeared, he immediately took j1, now there is j5. The advantage of the system is only in the 2/3 frame format. All. There is no compactness, no reliability, no opportunities (cameras are extremely cropped in software, there is not even a primitive exposure bracketing, which is found in half of the soapboxes), but half the disk is occupied by exotic shooting modes, designed for no one knows who. * No batteries either.

Pros
  • Outwardly, it looks solid. The stub is fully functional. Adequate travel zoom.
Cons
  • 1. Dark, but normal for zooms over 3x 2. Makes the built-in puff useless even without a lens hood, unless you carry a periscope-like softbox with mirrors (I assembled such a homemade product) 3. Poor quality. Immediately after the end of the warranty, the diaphragm block + tube of the central lens block was covered. The repair price is half the lens. Covered for no apparent reason, little used (the main camera is an old D300). In general, out of 4 available lenses, only one is alive (because it is new). Whale 10-30 and 30-110 did not even survive the warranty. They generally have a bayonet - plexiglass painted like metal (so, for information).

Pros: functionality, quality, good light Its cons: when shooting with flash, flare along the bottom edge of the image, due to the long lens and low flash height

After it broke, I returned to the stock 10-30. I didn’t wear it for repairs, although it broke more than 2 years ago.
