![]() | Nikon AF-P 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 G DX VR Pros: Perfect for getting started in a kit with a camera - Lightweight, easy to use and cheap - precise autofocus, good sharpness and Cons: Pretty present chromatic aberrations - Show its limitations by going slightly out of the box and with professional purposes Opinion: As an amateur photographer and videomaker I would say that this lens is really fantastic for those who start to enter the world of digital machines. Very light, easy to use and with a good visual rendering. The maximum opening of 5.6 (4.5 only at 18mm) is certainly not suitable for many things and in scarcity of light proves its flaws, however if used in standard situations can come out so many interesting shots. The chromatic aberration is very present; although with retouching software you can eliminate it almost completely, sometimes there are still some flaws in the details. The distortion of the lens, on the other hand, is not annoying and corrects easily. Even for video recording he does very well. VR works well, even if you don't have to overdo it with movements; if we can keep the camera we manage to have fairly stable shots that can be safely adjusted in post-production. The autofocus is not noisy and always remains very precise. The focus dial is very fluid and using the manual focus is always a pleasure; Zoom is a bit stiff, so it's hard to avoid that jerky effect during videos. For the photo side I took close-ups, landscapes, moving photos during sports matches and concerts (some I put them on the juza profile): never had dissatisfaction, except for personal mistakes. Very often I did not feel the need to touch up the photos so much because both the contrast and the vividness of the colors was satisfactory. For the video side, in addition to some sporadic footage, I used it to record a couple of live music inside a club. The videos didn't come bad, however as a lens it is definitely not suitable for this purpose. Quite stable by bare hand, the 60 fps of the D3400 gave that dynamic touch, but the lack of opening made them decidedly dark and a little depreciated when I didn't have the stage lights in favor. Let's say that for simple videos in general you can settle. To date it is not better to buy it separately, but only if included with the machine body because of quality alternatives there are many. However it is a nice lens that allows you to make several nice shots and shots, a great starting point and then move on to something more expensive once you have experienced. sent on September 07, 2019 |
