nikon_28-85Nikon AF 28-85mm f/3.5-4.5

Pros: Good sharpness, especially when stopped down little bit. Very low price

Cons: Lateral chromatic aberations might be significant issue

Opinion: Good choice for a budget use (I bought it for 58 USD). If you are fine with 28 mm as a widest focal length. There is a uncommon macro functionality, but only at 28 mm. Sharpness is good, but purple fringing is an issue. Autofocus is maybe faster than D lenses, but it is kicking when focus is achieved. I had the same excperience with a Pentax lenses some years ago.

nikon_135_f3-5aiNikon 135mm f/3.5 Ai

Pros: Very good value for a money, lightweight, acceptable sharpness wide open, very pleasant colours rendering, solid bokeh, smooth manual focusing

Cons: Contrast loss aginst bright scene

Opinion: Very good value for a money, lightweight, acceptable sharpness wide open, very pleasant colours rendering, solid bokeh, smooth manual focusing. Contrast loss aginst bright scene. Price is really friendly so it is not difficult to recommend this lens. However, some zoom lenses are sharper these days. Also you have to take care about light sources, modern coatings are missing, as can be expected from a vintage lens.

nikon_80-200_f2-8Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 AF (1987 version)

Pros: Good contrast, useful focal range, constant aperture f2.8, good sharpness. Bulilt like a tank.

Cons: Slow and noisy AF, bokeh could be little bit better. Quite heavy.

Opinion: In general, very good lens indeed. Especially, right now it can be bought for a solid money. Good contrast, useful focal range, constant aperture f2.8 is very welcome, good sharpness. Built like a tank. I bought this lens more than 20 years old, but in excellent condition. Slow and noisy AF, bokeh could be little bit better. Lens is also quite heavy.

sigma_24-105osSigma 24-105mm f/4 DG OS HSM Art

Pros: Fast and accurate AF, usable focal range, sharp at 24 mm (fully comparable wqith primes), effective VR

Cons: Brutal vignetting wide open (not so easy to remove), less sharp within 80-105mm focal range

Opinion: Not a bad value for money, but brutal vignetting wide open and f4 is limiting factors. At the end of the day, it is better to use a prime lenses :) Fast and accurate AF, usable focal range, sharp at 24 mm (fully comparable wqith primes), effective VR, less sharp within 80-105mm focal range. Otherwise, bokeh is quite pleasing, although not much pronounced due to the f4.

yongnuo_50_f1-4iiYongnuo YN 50mm f/1.4 II

Pros: Low price, fast aperture, solid build, slow but relative accurate AF, film era contrast

Cons: Film era contrast, slow and noisy AF

Opinion: I would say good value for a money. Sharpness is roughly on the level of Nikon 50mm f1.8G. At f2 Yongnuo is much better, at f2.8 they are equal, but at f=5.6 Nikon strikes back. Both have slow AF, but Nikon 50mm f1.8G is not noisy. Lens has an old school contrast, it depends on taste, it might be pros and cons as well. Anyway, iot is something what might be treated in postprocessing easily. If you don?t have money for superb Sigma 50mm f1.4 Art, Yongnuo 50mm f1.4 is reasonable choice.
