Review on Marumi DHG 72Mm Achromat Lens by Carlos King

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pleasantly Surprised

Works much better than I expected. When used correctly, I don't see any distortion, color fringing or loss of sharpness on my Nikon D7000. When shooting wide open, I noticed some color fringing in out-of-focus areas closer to the edge of the frame. I tested with two lenses: Nikkor 18-105 AF-S and Nikkor 70-300 AF-S. I found this filter very handy at 18-105 for close-up photography, but at the long end of 70-300 it really turns the camera into a microscope. You cannot photograph anything larger than a small coin or more than a few inches from the camera. I found the depth of field at 300mm to be so shallow that I had to shoot at f/40 and a slow shutter speed to get a decent test shot. strawberries With a shorter FL, decent shots of round subjects can be achieved from f/8 to f/16. Much lower than f/8 only works on flat objects or artistic blur effects. In most cases, autofocus works quite well if you first place the camera very close to where the focus should be.

Pros
  • Excellent Overall
Cons
  • Expensive
