Zenit Helios MC 44M-7 58mm f/2.0

Pros: Price, bokeh, weight and size, Swirley effect

Cons: Color rendition

Opinion: I took it with Nikon F mount and use it on FF to make the most of the effect of the bokeh. My specimen is mechanically and optically very good. The best effects of the blur are produced at full aperture (on FF) while, with regard to the sharpness at open apers, it is sufficient only in the center. If it closes a little it improves considerably. I think the weak point is the reproduction of colors. It is suitable for b/w photos. I have other lenses Helios 58/F2 that have similar features. Those interested in the purchase should know that the outstanding copies of Nikon F-adapted lenses can interfere with the FF mirror because, in order to achieve infinity focus, they are modified with the rearmament of the rear doublet. I myself have adapted one of these M42 screw-pitch lenses by simply unscrewing the back. It works, with the necessary precautions. The M42-Nikon F adapters are located a little money on Chinese sites. I do not recommend those with the built-in lens because of the often poor quality. For any details are available.

Nikon AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G ED VR

Pros: Compact, practical, good construction and performance, for Fx and Dx, Vr

Cons: A 300mm loses a bit 'of sharpness

Opinion: Lens that allows you to experiment with different kinds of shots and with results ranging from good to very good. Ideal to get closer to nature photography without spending a fortune. A 300 mm must be careful to stop down to F8-F11 to get good results. In conjunction with the D7100 it is very precise in focus and very quick. Photographing in all conditions, I always got clean shots and free from defects. An important point in favor of this objective is the construction and reliability.
