Nikon AF 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6G Pros: Ridiculous price, sharp, af fast, great colors, pleasant blurry on ff, usable ta, featherweight, tiny, good focal excursion Cons: Plastic, plastic everywhere and fragile feeling & supercheap, terrible manual MAF, terribly tacky look of the most common silver version Opinion: Great transnormal zoom that knows how to return sharp images and with beautiful colors despite its absolutely unreassuring appearance. It's entirely made of plastic, optics aside, and it seems to crumble under its own weight. Lifting a body as heavy as a D700 by taking it for this lens probably means breaking the attack... but it's also very light and small. The autofocus is noisy, suffers in low light but is also precise and very fast thanks to the short run of the MAF and the very light materials... but on the other hand it is terrible to use in manual having no friction and a very narrow dial. Even the zoom dive is lacking in any resistance/feedback. The filter fillet is also made of meager soft plastic and is quite difficult to center as the filter fillet always tends to plant crooked in the not hard enough plastic. In short, mechanically it is VERY poor except for autofocus, however (and I think much more important) the optical part is unexpectedly good. The images it returns have beautiful warm colors, a good contrast and even a pleasant blur to the most "large" openings, which although not a record are well usable as long as you accept a soft yield (for portraits on the fly from 35mm to 80mm at TA makes more than d It's all about being a zoom... a 20 euro zoom then!). Closing a couple of stops instead becomes well clear and has a good resistance to the flare to more or less all the openings. I personally use this lens on a D700 and find it great for travel/use "dangerous" (costs so little that it is expendable... maybe in favor of a black copy, much better aesthetically!) and I think it even superior to certain more ephaly ephaly optical, big and heavy... at least for the unexpected optical qualities. PS: To relieve the terrible appearance there is a beautiful green reflection on the front lens. sent on July 23, 2019 |
