nikon_80-400g_afs-vrNikon AF-S 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 G ED VR

Pros: Discreetly light and short even at 400. Not bad sharpness. Amazing vr

Cons: A little "fat" to gibble with your hand. Glacier zoom and focus reverse -at least according to what I like - fluid zoom but in a bit masculine to be operated compared to for example to the 70 200 vr 1. The lampshade covers the zoom ring when fitted in reverse. New cost

Opinion: At first glance it gives the idea of being stocky but not exaggerated. A little more than 28-70 2.8 but then it is that little more that exceeds the capacity of the hand. I hope to get used to it. It reminds so much of the 'family' of the 24-120 f4 as construction and performance. Optically very good (the 24-120 f4 does not make sense to be so minted, at most it is a less bright thread, but good). Construction a step lighter than the PRO canons, but well done. Smooth I liked right away already doing the AF tuning end. You immediately see it's the sharp ones. A nice spread over the 70-200 vr 1 duplicate and the old AF-D (which were comparable). With the kenko 1.4 300 per dgx goes optically agree but the vr even if working emits strange sounds of anxiety. Probably over 450-500 mm can be worth it especially on sensors that are not too dense. On the d800e probably croppare is not so pejorative and light/ISO gains. With the TC-20E II, on the other hand, the VR works well but you lose the AF at about 150mm depending on the contrast. The sharpness plummets enough. I also do not want to do this because with f11 the ISO skyrocket and the possible advantage is thwarted by noise. However with a greater use I will be able to add some more information . PS I bought used guaranteed 1 year at 1150 (which does not seem bad) and compared to the 500/600 of a used vr 1 is worth them all. The only one mole is larger. The construction of the vr1 looked more PRO as all the optics of the era. Another little note. being the lampshade quite large, if "parked" in reverse, completely covers a dial. zoom (as reversed) and therefore for a shot on the fly you need to remove it to operate it.

nikon_28-70_f2-8Nikon AF-S 28-70mm f/2.8 D ED

Pros: ... What about... has an extra gear.

Cons: It's huge, heavy but it gives you an exhilarating feeling in your hands

Opinion: Purchased to have a lens brighter than 4 with an indisputable quality. It seems impossible but the concept of sharpness without too much contrast is possible. It looks a lot more natural than the yet great 24-120 vr! The shadows are definitely more open and this gives an impression of less sharpness but it is not so. The details are there but there is a less "digital" tonal passage. With a small mask of sharpness are indistinguishable to TA, better the old man if a wire closed; especially when evaluated throughout the frame. At TA it is softer than the 24-120 vr but if you close it at 4-4.5 it becomes sharper than the competitor in the center. At the edges is better. The autofocus is very fast to be a lens that is 15 years old but you have to give it the fine calibration to get the best. I quietly support the 36 Mpix of the D800E indeed , if you use it at 24 you do not appreciate it for what it can give. It is a very particular lens and I am no longer surprised by those who said (I do not remember) that you should have both 28-70 and 24-70 to use if necessary... At TA the edges of the blacks pull out a small purple halo. already disappears with a closing diaphragm. Bought used for less than 500 euros, if the autofocus does not make jokes does not seem good. No by chance it cost a fortune... like the son of the other!!

nikon_24-120vr_f4Nikon AF-S 24-120mm f/4 G ED VR

Pros: Compactness, versatility and great autofocus and VR

Cons: Not very clear with a little distortion.

Opinion: I'd say great and versatile. I sometimes lack a bit of brightness in scenes where it is not enough to stretch the times (here the VR gives you a good hand) but where you have to be quick because the subject moves. It's slightly less contrasted from 85mm up but it's not a big deal. I find it to be sharp enough even for 36 Mpix of the d800. At f4 you can not separate the subject well unless you have it close enough and the background far enough away or the right type (which you already dough alone when just out of focus, you see small leaves ... The poles coming out of the head remain clearly visible! Overall, good especially if bought in import (I paid 500 euros a year and a half ago..) or today official. I also have the 28-300 (which is not bad ..) but to get to the quality of this at 4-5.6 you have to close it at least to 8 ... Simply put when there is light almost everything is fine even if this is already much better than the average consumer. In the middle is a blade! even better than many fixed optics. The distortion is annoying to the short focal points only if there are architectural lines that give you references ... at that point you have to correct it a little bit. I really consider myself at the beginning, I usually try in difficult light situations, and I shoot in Jpeg although End at 24 or 26 Mpix. I do not like to tinker with the PC , I use it already all day, and I like beautiful pictures. Sometimes, not always, certain shots make me do ohh for the sharpness and colors that produces the d800 24-120 pairing. Max.

nikon_50_f1-4dNikon AF 50mm f/1.4 D

Pros: Compactness, Brightness, Great Flooring

Cons: Unclear at 1.4, mediocre; 1.8 to 2.2, acceptable-good more closed

Opinion: Recently purchased to cope with the unlighted situations. You have to prosine pp so maybe you might as well take away noise using less bright lenses. It certainly doesn't hold up very well the 36 Mpix of the D800... It should be used in an artistic way, even if FX is a bit short and if you make the very first floor you risk the noses. The fine calibration of the af takes to different values between the distance of 50-60 cm to that of 1.5-2 m (beyond it makes no sense) because it does not solve the Mpix. I do not know if on the ultra resolute reflex is to be recommended except for its extreme compactness. Unfortunately, I don't know the competitors to make comparisons. Update in progress: With a fine AF calibration I was able to achieve discrete results in terms of sharpness. 36 Mpix (see photos of the cropped cat). It begins to give me satisfaction and like me especially in the three-dimensionality that transmits the detachment of the plans. Used, certainly recommended
