![]() | Nikon AF-S DX 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 G ED Pros: Excellent lens, very sharp even at full aperture with a slight drop at the edges. No flare Cons: the price at launch. Now in the second-hand it is affordable. A bit plasticky. Opinion: Taken on occasion directly from Japan. I was planning to buy the Tokina 11-16 but having tried it I was disappointed by the strong presence of flare. This optic, on the contrary, has an excellent resistance to flare as well as an excellent resolution even at the edges, having the foresight to close at least one stop. On the other hand, there are few (and very expensive) lenses of these focal lengths that do not show decay at the edges. Light and easy to handle, it is easy to carry around. Slight distortions and aberrations are easily corrected in post production. The lack of VR at these focal lengths is not felt while the AF is fast and accurate. A lens that I recommend for those who love panoramic and landscape photos. sent on November 28, 2024 |
![]() | Nikon AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G ED VR Pros: Very handy ideal for wildlife photography Cons: It loses a bit of sharpness at maximum focal length and maximum aperture but by closing the diaphragm a little it improves significantly. Opinion: In my opinion, it is a very valid lens, as it combines excellent handling with excellent general performance. At maximum focal length the yield is slightly lower but it is enough to close one stop to significantly improve the definition. Excellent AF always precise and fast and the stabilization system does its job very well. The price at launch was higher than the competition (Tamron) but the Nikon choice is always a guarantee. Although it has now been out of production for over 6 years, I keep it close and used especially with the D500 it is a great combination. Certainly for fine palates there are other lenses to prefer but for an amateur photographer it is an excellent choice. On the second-hand market it can also be found at attractive prices that I recommend for those who want to approach nature photography (especially with APSC cameras) which with the crop factor becomes a 450 mm. Very interesting. Vote 9. sent on November 12, 2024 |
![]() | Nikon AF 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 D Pros: Lightweight, fast focus despite its age, more than good sharpness, easy to carry around. Cons: Plasticky body, no VR, plastic bayonet, autofocus does not work with old SLRs (D40, D80) and with the new mirrorless Nikon +FTZ, not very bright Opinion: It was my intention to put it on sale considering the lack of use, also because I own Nikon zooms and other brands with similar characteristics. Purchased back in 1995 combined with an analog reflex body (the excellent F90X). It has been in the drawer for a long time and recently dusted off to compare it with more current optics. Well... It surprised me positively. Still valid from the point of view of sharpness (good up to the focal length 150 mm) and the colors it churns out, even the focus amazed me, it was still fast and without hesitation. It has no optical distortion but the sharpness drops significantly at the longest focal length. Of course, it cannot be compared to more recent optics or to the emblazoned and more performing ones, but I think for the cost I see in the used (we are talking about costs even lower than 50 euros) I decided to keep it. With APSC machines it becomes a 120-300. I recommend the purchase to those who are looking for a decent telephoto zoom without huge pretensions. sent on February 05, 2024 |

![]() | Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 Pros: tropicalization, low weight, affordable cost, excellent maneuverability, support arca swiss Cons: light hood Opinion: Purchased after viewing various and in-depth reviews and opinions on the net, as well as on JuzaPhoto. I had tried at the time the first G1 version lent to me by a friend but it had not thrilled me especially at the maximum focal length and maximum aperture (6.3). This new G2 version, mounted on Nikon Z5 with FTZ amazed me immediately. Excellent yield and sharpness on all focal lengths even at 600 mm. although with a slight loss of sharpness, but negligible compared to the first version. Excellent stabilization with pleasant shots even with times of 1/60, fast MAF. Also tested on my old (but always valid) D90 where the 600 becomes for the crop factor 900mm. Here too excellent results even if the MAF has repeatedly struggled to hook the subject and the use of rapid times is a must. Also purchased the TAP-in Console Tamron to optimize the focus even if I did not need it. For a passionate amateur photographer always sensitive to containing the costs that this passion absorbs greedily is an excellent lens that does not disappoint absolutely, difficult to find zoom of these focal lengths at such low prices.
