I decided to write a review after a significant period of operation of this glass, since I did not understand it at first, and here is a summary: this is a lens of a very indefinite purpose - it is neither a portrait lens, nor a makrik, nor a reporter - neither this nor that! At the same time, on a DX-carcass with a good matrix (I have it on the D5000), it somehow copes with all these functions (unless, of course, instead of zooming, train the legs and the patience of others), but at best…

I am satisfied with my copy, not counting the autofocus - I handed it over to the service for adjustment under warranty, I am waiting for the results. Some pros: Sharp starting wide open (sharper than 50/1.8 (1.4) D and G versions). At 2.8, excellent micro-contrast appears. Pleasant, soft, but at the same time quite expressive bokeh. Fast and quiet autofocus. Light weight, compact. Possibility of manual fine-tuning of focus. Cons below: There is no focus distance scale. Problems with quality…

The lens performed well on my two carcasses - d5100 and d80. Focusing speed on both is fast, sharpness across the frame, decent bokeh. The camera with it does not look like a terribly cool mega SLR, if anyone cares. But even compared with the whale, the dimensions are noticeably reduced. This, of course, is not a 40mm canan pancake, which looks more like a plug for a mount, but it is still very small. The lens hood twists into the stowed position without any problems. The lens is durable…

I have long wanted to take a portrait lens, before that I mainly worked with macro. I decided to take 35mm, for a cropped 1.5 matrix, just about 51mm comes out. I am completely satisfied with the quality, good optics, a quiet motor, for its price it’s a bomb in general . In examples: girl: ISO320, 1/640, f/2.8; kitten: ISO400, 1/500, f/1.8; dog: ISO400, 1/1250, f/1.8 (crop)

All imperfections are easily removed in Lightroom. I use it in tandem with the d5200. Very satisfied. At first, I didn’t understand it, very often smeared autofocus. In a couple of months, I realized that I would no longer wear a whale. I bought it in the player, they checked it myself, my copy had neither back nor front focus. Recently rode tubing and I had to change it to a whale, as the subjects were far away. Arriving home, I was simply stunned by how much worse the whale worked in the…

Bought at Nikon Store 07/18/2022 Order No. 83590, a purely opinion, a good lens for the money, for everyday photography, very much nothing, but the declared qualities such as dust, moisture protective, nonsense, that's all, rubber seals around the campaign are so scary , for the sake of appearance, I used it twice in three weeks, with my daughter we went to the city center, take a walk, take pictures, yesterday I noticed that under the rear lens, hairs and dust, how? Tomorrow I'll take it to…

I am a novice amateur photographer and after those lenses that have passed through my hands, this one does not want to be removed from the camera. Universal focal length, high aperture with pleasant bokeh as for me and very good sharpness, which, at my level and for such money, completely suits me. I took it from my hands for 7k, in general it’s a sin to complain) but, to be honest, it’s worth taking it new, only with a mandatory check of autofocus and general impressions of the picture. I am…

There is no feeling of razor sharpness inherent in many fixes. Those. it is sharp, but creates a feeling of some softness of the pattern. In certain cases, plus - say, in portraits you get smoother, softened skin, more silky hair. In others - a minus, the lens is still not portrait, with this focal length it is more logical to classify it as universal, so sometimes you expect a slightly sharper picture from a fix.

However, in general . satisfied with the purchase. At least not disappointed. The lens turned out exactly as I imagined it. If I had - with such characteristics - a "universal" 35-70 mm, then it would be a cool staffer. On a 1.5-month trip this year, I took 35 mm and Nezhin 100 mm "Kaleinar" (1989). Rating put "troika", and then raised by a point. I think "four" (with a minus-invisibility) for this glass is a fairer assessment. .A year later (as of September 2022) I confirm my first review. I…

Really fast focusing, but unfortunately periodically misses - if the aperture is 1.8, then this is eventually visible and the miss is about 20% in difficult cases. The issue is being resolved - by double focusing, focusing - release the button, focus again. Since the focusing itself is very fast, there are no questions here, and the problem really pops up in difficult cases, when it is already dark, but the camera did not turn on the autofocus backlight. Other than that, I'm very pleased with…

I bought this miracle in Hong Kong in a Amazon store at the beginning of March 2022 for 14,990. The price is of course high compared to online stores (I found it for 13,000 and a filter as a gift), but some kind of crap, they explained to me that there is a gray guarantee, without an official Nikon guarantee, therefore, it’s cheaper. I decided that I’ll take it more expensive but with an official guarantee, and even more so in the store I myself can check the lens for front and back focus. but…

The lens is very good considering its price, however, focusing works fine only in good lighting (outdoors and indoors during the day). I took it mainly for indoors when shooting in low light without using a flash (because the built-in one is not very good, and buying the 700th is expensive), but miracles do not happen, so I got tired of looking at many ruined photos due to autofocus errors for this reason sold it and bought a Sigma AF 17-50mm f / 2.8 EX DC OS HSM - just a great fast replacement

I read a lot about this glass, the reviews were different. But I still decided to buy it. Tested in the store on another camera. I was too lazy to go for my carcass, and there was only one lens, the price of 8890 was quite suitable, and since hot cakes diverge from cheaper than 12022, I didn’t come across. After clicking a little, I liked the picture and decided to take it. Upon arrival home, he put it on his carcass. I printed out test charts, took out a tripod and away we go. After…

excellent lens from the category of "must have". On the crop, the viewing angle becomes a la "fifty kopecks", so you can look at the world through the eyes of our dads and grandfathers :) Definitely a good copy and even the price has recently begun to fall. And in the secondary market it can generally be found at times for 5000. Beautiful bokeh. Widespread filter diameter. Well built, looks good on camera. With my copy there was a hood The resulting images require minimal correction in a…

I put 4 because there are no alternatives for that kind of money (I took it for 7 thousand, but it’s always easy to find it from hands for 5-5.5). Now I use the second such lens. The first one passed back after a week and a half of active use just because of the "hares". It was not possible to take pictures at shutter speeds of 1/30 and longer: if there was a lantern in the frame, then due to reflections, the same dimmer lantern appeared upside down somewhere in the corner. And the hood did not

Bought this product twice in 2022. The first time I bought it for 6500 in a store, I gave it back because of the purple fringing (I was a beginner with the D5200 camera then) I thought it was abnormal compared to 18-55. It turned out to be normal and typical for all plastic 1.8G. A little later, having bought the D7100, I decided to buy it again from my hands. Found for 3000r as new. I drove, took off on him and this way and that. In parallel, I then had a Sigma 17-70 pants, and so this chic…

I bought it an hour ago. I photographed 200-300 frames. This is a super lens. Before that, I photographed at 18-105mm, on the Nikon d90. In the discussions, I saw that some write that they say that between 18-105 and 35mm the difference is almost not noticeable - THIS IS BOSH. The difference is huge. That lens is definitely good. But this is a miracle. The picture is very pleasing to the eye. Sharp, bright, etc. In general, this is an excellent lens, take it you will not regret it. But at the…

I have been using this lens for more than about three years, I also took it on the d3100, now it is on the d7100 as a regular one and is still happy. For such money there are simply no alternatives to this glass. Autofocus is fast, sharpness in the center of the frame is more than sufficient. A little chromate, but the jambs are easily removed during processing. Focal 35 on aps-c gives the cherished 50mm of a standard lens - not narrow, not wide, but just right. High aperture allows you to…

Yes, good portraits thanks to f1.8, but even if you try to fit a person in full height, it becomes absolutely useless because there is almost no blur (portrait and portrait in Africa). I spent almost a day comparing with the whale at the same settings, the whale turned out to be sharper and clearer. Due to the Equivalent focal length - a smaller viewing angle, but this is a claim to cropped matrices. ate: lowering to 2, because. became absolutely useless after I bought "Nikon 55-300mm f /…

I took it as the first and only lens for a DSLR, shot only with it for several months, then used other lenses, but this one remained my favorite, I like the picture from it most of all. Justified expectations by 100%, you can shoot almost anything, including in low light. Although a wide angle is not enough for urban landscapes and cramped spaces, you can almost always take a shot (unlike 50mm, which turn into 75mm on crop.) I think it should be in the arsenal of any novice photographer. Ideal…
