The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Nikon AF-S 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Pros: Versatility, optical stabilization better than 18-105mm, color rendering Cons: Vignetting, sharpness at the edges of the frame at the maximum focal length that leaves something to be desired Opinion: Bought as a replacement for the 18-105mm that I had used for years and that now gave me some problems probably because of the ineffective VR \\defective (long history ...), I am pleasantly impressed by the VR (more effective than that of the 18-105mm) and the color rendering. After doing some quick tests, however, I find that at the maximum focal length it is rather "soft" at the edges of the frame even at f/11 ... what a disappointment. Another rather obvious flaw (to the face of those who say that "you do not see it in real life") is the vignetting, since I happen to take relatively often photos of the sea, I can confirm that there is and that it goes away only by closing the diaphragm a little. (And no, please, do not tell me that there is Lightroom or Fotoscioppe and that you can remove it there, I know it very well too, I can not afford every time to shoot in raw and edit hundreds of files on a processor that today is not even the top of the range and that takes me some time. Sometimes, I am forced to use the jpeg, e.g. when I have to capture very fast actions, being the buffer of my machine what it is.). Rating: anyway 83/100. P.S. I also note that, having few blades of the diaphragm (7), this lens will produce poor sunstars even at apertures above f / 22. If someone cares: someone definitely doesn't, since it's more of a travel goal, so I don't put it in the cons. sent on August 26, 2021 |
 | Nikon AF-P 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 G DX VR Pros: Sufficiently sharp (nothing phenomenal anyway), discreet and usually quiet autofocus (although I seem to have felt a slight vibration sometimes), lightness, surprising bokeh for the type of lens Cons: The A / M and VR rings are missing, but above all, THE ANNOYING LENS LOCK BUTTON (insert blasphemy at random) Opinion: Reading the reviews, I was truly amazed that no one mentioned the lens lock button thing. That is to say, before becoming ready to shoot, the lens must be put in place, by pressing the appropriate button and rotating the zoom ring from the letter "L" towards the desired focal length. Except that, to go from "L" to 18mm, it must be rotated by at least 2.5-3cm ... but who c... is it the genius at Nikon who had this brilliant idea? who?? Please give me a name. I swear to you, I will look for you. I'll find you. And you ucc--Ehrgahghmahfndms. Canon's 15-45mm EF-M wasn't so annoying to use either, when I had it. And the most annoying thing is not the fact that you have to rotate 2.5 cm, no. But the force that you have to apply to the button above and during rotation, really disproportionate for what it is. Together, however, both things will make you pull many of those blasphemies that Germano Mosconi raised. Then, why does it stick out so much when it's in place? Mah. For the rest, there is not much more to say. The lens is sharp enough at almost all focal lengths, for sure those who are beginners will have little to say and will make us decent photos. I was really surprised by the bokeh, for the kind of lens it is. I have not yet encountered the problem of chromatic aberrations and vignetting, but it will be because so far I have only used it to test the jpegs produced by my D5600, recently purchased, so I believe I will update this review in the future. I do not see, however, why a beginner should not orient himself on a 18-140mm rather, which are now less than 270 euros, especially if you buy imported. sent on May 24, 2021 |
 | Nikon D5300 Pros: tilting display, GPS, ergonomics, sharpness (sensor without AA filter), build quality, photo quality, decent battery life Cons: decent but not phenomenal battery life, not suitable for making video, slow live view, almost ridiculous buffering, no internal AF engine, viewfinder covers only 95%, no preview of depth of field, a single configurable button, shutter that does not go beyond 1/4000s Opinion: This was my first REFLEX and 4 years later and almost 50,000 shots if I found it used and at a good price I think I would buy it back, although at this point not so much for the quality of the image (still good if you do not go beyond ISO 3200, with the necessary limitations, especially if you use the optics supplied in the kit ...) but for its ergonomics - in fact, even compared to the D5600, which I recently bought, it seems to be more comfortable and robust. The battery life is good but not great (if you shoot in small bursts with the 70-300mm AF-P VR, you can get to more than 1600-1900 shots with a single battery charge, a little less if you turn it off and turn it back on all the time - on the first use I managed to take about 900 shots - but this depends on many factors, not least that of the state in which the battery is located), but it lasts a little (on the 400-600 shots) if you activate the GPS. Speaking of the latter, I usually find it accurate and reliable, all the files I need have the tag and I did not encounter the problem of missing information... of course, it takes a while to get into operation every time you activate it, but it seems to do its duty. I don't think it's necessary, as someone said, to go to the Nikon site to update satellite positioning information every 15-30 days because otherwise it doesn't hook them up, that's simply not true from my experience – it just serves for more accurate detection. Now, the two biggest problems for me are the slow live view and the fact that the viewfinder covers are 95% of the scene. Here's what I mean by "slow lv": when you frame a subject, if you press the shutter button, if it is not yet in focus it takes a few moments to "hook it", then the mirror drops (0.2-0.4 seconds), then it goes back (another 0.2-0.4 seconds)... but I have partly "solved" by putting the shooting mode on "continuous H". Unfortunately, nothing can be done about the viewfinder, it is usually not a problem but in some cases it is. To know, I would probably have oriented myself to a D7200. The limited buffer is unfortunately another big problem, at least if you try to photograph moving objects and want to get closer to naturalistic photography; it fills up in 2-3 seconds and you can no longer shoot until it empties. As for the videos, it is not the most suitable camera since it overheats in live view, but I do not make many videos so patience. Another downside of this camera is that it does not have the internal focus engine, which would have allowed the use of AF-D lenses and other optics produced in the 1980s. The adjustable display is really useful for selfies or vlogs, or when you want to shoot something at an unusual angle, but frankly I find it easier to use the viewfinder and lower myself so that you have the desired frame. The lack of a more suitable shutter can be felt if you use a TA light fixed, which can be overcome using a good filter, but, in short, forget to use an f/1.4 or even an f/1.8 without if you want to do it in broad daylight. In addition, a button for previewing the depth of field would have been very useful; now that I'm a slightly more experienced photographer, I don't particularly miss it, though. It has only one configurable button, then, but now I have become accustomed to how it is made and even here, I do not particularly miss it. The quality of jpegs is very good and all in all if you shoot in conditions that allow the use of ISO 100, you can not want more. The high ISO seal is good but not great, and unfortunately, in the 4 years I have used the machine, I have had many situations where better sensitivity would have benefited. ISO 3200: acceptable, but the noise is already noticeable, and this with a good fix. ISO 6400: Almost unusable files for me. Rating: 9. sent on April 03, 2021 |
 | Nikon AF-S DX 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR Pros: Useful focal length, versatility Cons: Quality however only discreet, vignetting Opinion: Personally, I do not think there is much to be said about this objective. Its biggest strength is the focal hike, with its 18-105mm when I'm in town I can take almost everything I need, I managed to take some cute photos and no one has ever complained about the quality. VR works but it's not great. At 18mm I notice a bit of distortion and a slight drop in quality, for me nothing dramatic. A f/5.6 becomes sharp enough for all situations. I used it for a few years but now it is in one of my photo bags not to do anything, I abandoned it in favor of the 35mm f/1.8 DX and the 50mm f/1.8 G, and if I really need 50-70mm of focal more I use the 70-300mm AF-P VR DX, which beats it in all. The biggest defect I have encountered is vignetting at certain focal lengths and in certain particular situations, it goes away I believe only partially if you shoot at f/10-11. I would recommend it only if found at less than 150-200 euros, but at that price perhaps it is worth trying to get the 18-140mm. Rating: 7.9, maybe I'm a little too generous but since I've been using it without problems for several years I'm very fond of it. sent on March 23, 2021 |
 | Nikon AF-P DX 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G VR Pros: Lightness, very fast and quiet autofocus, color rendering, sharpness under 210mm Cons: chromatic aberrations, 300mm dark, autofocus that "trundles" to maximum focal, "strange" field curvature to diaphragms less than f/9, sometimes nervous bokeh, plastic bayonet Opinion: It is certainly a fun lens to use especially for those who, being novice like me, were not happy with the maximum focal length offered by the lens of the kit. A remarkable strength of this lens is almost certainly the autofocus, very fast, silent and more often than not precise. Autofocus that alas, over 250mm often becomes unreliable and no longer so fast, hooking completely wrong subjects and generally making a little effort; but this most likely also depends on the machine body used. Among the merits, there is certainly that of sharpness below 210mm, really remarkable (I was really surprised), but it begins to wane after 250mm; nothing dramatic, though. The color rendering is really pleasant. Unfortunately, the blurry is often a bit "nervous" and in general, under f/9-10 you notice a strange curvature of field that makes it slightly "swirly", and that I honestly find very unpalatable, so much so that I now tend to shoot almost always at f/10-11. At the maximum focal length and in situations of high contrast, chromatic aberrations are quite evident, which even with automatic correction do not seem to go away, although closing the diaphragm helps a little. It is really very light, especially when considering some alternatives (such as the Tamron SP). Another advantage is that the minimum focus distance is slightly below the average of this type of lens, so, although it is not a macro lens, it allows you to photograph even rather small subjects and at a fairly close distance. Tested on a D5300. Vote: 8. sent on March 23, 2021 |
 | Nikon AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8 G Pros: Compact, light, bright, versatile Cons: chromatic aberrations, sharpness that leaves something to be desired under f/2.8, noisy AF, blurry often mediocre Opinion: The quality of the image is decent, and overall it is a versatile optics (however "boring" and devoid of features that make it really special) that adapts to many uses (I have used it in the past for every type of photography, from street to landscape). Unfortunately my copy presents an obvious problem of backfocus especially at close range and open diaphragms (let's talk about f/1.8-2.8) that only goes away if you use the live view (so far I have had the opportunity to use it only on a D5300, and those who own that camera know how slow it is), and I realized it too late to be able to make the return; even manual focus does not solve the problem, except in live view. Regardless of the problems my specimen may have, however, I do not understand how you can consider its bokeh "beautiful" - I would call it at most sufficient and sometimes even mediocre or nervous. The objective then in certain situations has strong chromatic aberrations, which begin to become acceptable only at f/2.8. Same speech for sharpness, in many situations only at f/2.8 you reach something acceptable in the center of the frame. The autofocus is quite noisy, maybe noisier than the 18-105mm, although not by much but for me it was never a problem (after all I use a REFLEX); it is not particularly fast, I would call it only "discreet". There is not much more to say than that this objective would certainly have benefited the presence of optical stabilization, but perhaps at this price it is asking far too much. I have to disagree with those who say that it is not suitable for making videos, it is not if you use autofocus (like many other DX optics released before 2017, for that matter), but if you use manual focus, as long as you can focus on the desired area before recording, this is feasible and adapts to vlogs and small musical performances.

 | Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8 G Pros: Light, compact, decent (but not phenomenal) autofocus, bright, pleasant bokeh, sharpness even at f/1.8-2.2 (on APS-C), price Cons: very little (with optical stabilization it would have been perfect) Opinion: I use it every day with my D5300, and it's currently among the sharpest goals you can have on APS-C (as much as it's an FX lens), according to DxO Mark. Even at f/1.8 it manages to be very sharp if well used (although it begins to be much more so at f/2.2), and although I usually do not consider the price a real "pro" (the price of a Ferrari says nothing about the quality of the car itself, but on your ability to afford it, which must be taken into account when evaluating in the presence of alternatives, before making the purchase), I have to take my hat off in front of Nikon's ability to produce such a lens at such a low price. The bokeh is very pleasant, and if you own an APS-C and want to do some portraits without spending too much, it is definitely recommended. If we wanted to be picky, what would have made this lens really perfect is optical stabilisation, which is unfortunately absent. I don't consider it a serious problem, for heaven's sake, but under 1/80s I can't go, if I want to be sure to take home a shot without the micromosso. But it's going to be my limit.

 | Nikon AF-P DX 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR Pros: Lightweight, compact, quiet, decent AF, very good stabilization Cons: chromatic aberrations, plastic, not very bright Opinion: Oh, God, how can you say it's sharp? As someone rightly pointed out, for architecture (at close range) the quality of the image is acceptable, good too, for foliage and objects in the distance a little less, so much so that often you have the feeling of shooting with a compact. In high contrast situations, at f/4.5 there are strong chromatic aberrations that sometimes do not even go to f/8. I do not consider the price a pro, I would definitely have preferred a more expensive lens (on 450-500 euros) but more performing in all senses. The autofocus is discreet and really quiet and the optical stabilization is very good (I managed to get shots that can also be used at 1/10s freehand, but I'm sure someone better than me would do better). Finally, it is quite plastic, the attachment is made of plastic, but on the other hand it is very compact and light. Tested on a D5300. sent on March 23, 2021 |
