nikon_28_f1-8gNikon AF-S 28mm f/1.8 G

Pros: Lightweight (but it seems sturdy), sharpness and versatility.

Cons: In some cases suffers (almost unexpectedly) CA, the ring of MAF manual is a bit 'loose.

Opinion: I bought this lens for my D7000 (APS-C) aware that this lens is essentially intended to FF, because I needed a more objective light and compact enough to bring me back. In my kit over this range of focal lengths I have the Sigma 18-35 F1.8, but it is bulky and heavy, and since I also have the 50mm F1.8 AF-S, I found that a 35mm (although it is much cheaper of it) was too close. In the end I chose this lens (purchased used on Ebay) and I can not claim to be happy with purchase. On APS-C it is equivalent to 40mm lens and now has become the "standard" on my camera ... I've used it for portraits and pictures of babies, birthdays, street and some landscape. A great drive "all-purpose" short and that allowed me to bring the camera to the sea without having too much weight in a backpack. For direct comparison to TA sharpness is less than the Sigma (Sigma and I prefer to tell the truth even complexion) but gets along better, however the 50mm which has a simpler construction. Onagainst which I have indicated, the ring MAF is a bit 'loose (maybe it's just my copy, as used ...) but all in all it is accurate given that night gave me back some good shots; the CA is present instead, significantly to TA and also in the absence of particularly strong contrasts. I do not know what is due, but I got to the point to take advantage of this feature so "artistic" (where you can not correct in PP). It must therefore pay a little 'attention, however, already in F4 and F8 fades very disappears altogether and the lens becomes a lama.rn

tokina_11-16_f2-8_v2Tokina AT-X Pro 11-16mm f/2.8 DX II

Pros: Robust construction, engine MAF extension (DX version II) and fast, sharpness at RT over the entire (short) hike.

Cons: Flare, slight purple fringing.

Opinion: With its short hike is almost a fixed wide on APS-C and is a lens that I consider good for street (I think that this distortion is even creative). Bright TA allows you to shoot indoors safely (for example, I use it even in fairs or exhibitions). MAF has a faster and more accurate, also the construction is solid (like almost all of the Tokina PRO) and I think that the fact of having sblocare the MAF manually by pulling the ring is a good thing. The yield in the landscape is fantastic, with skies always well contrasted and rich in detail ... even if it's not the lens wide with greater excursion available for APS-C, from the performance point of view I do not think can be beaten in this price range .

nikon_16-85dxNikon AF-S DX 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR

Pros: Focal length, VRII and better materials than the kit lenses.

Cons: Price, a bit 'soft 85mm.

Opinion: I bought this lens to replace the kit (18-55 without VR) that came with my D3100. I immediately felt at home there (16mm F3.5 can also be used in a creative way), and zoom all in all works fairly well to 85mm despite being a bit soft and not exceptionally bright. How to zoom "handyman" use it a lot, because it is a little heavy and not cluttered with too much given that this is renunciation of the brightness of the longer focal lengths. In principle, it is just a little 'off' price 'as the new one is really expensive and should definitely go on second (for the price of the new alternatives are no longer valid). The MAF is also fast enough for sports (I photographed several ski races with this lens), while the indoor one must inevitably go to other lenses due to its low brightness.

nikon_50_f1-8gNikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8 G

Pros: MAF lightning, weight and footprint, cost.

Cons: Purple fringing in some situations (not necessarily in TA).

Opinion: I got this drive to do mostly portraits on APS-C, but I managed to use it successfully in many other situations (street, indoor birthdays, etc..) Where he served a well-lit and there was enough room for 75mm equivalent on DX. The lens is cheap and has made a really good, with great clarity and returns a flesh with a pleasant creamy increasingly blurred. The PDC is always manageable, which is important because some portrait lenses have a PDC with which we must always do the math and have a little 'over the edge with more difficult subjects (eg. Babies) makes things easier. The MAF is swift and precise, moreover, is not affected at flare and not even go to the crisis in the light. The purple fringing I emerged on occasion, especially with strong (and I emphasize the "strong") side light and surfaces very clear about spatial plans not far away (eg. Sleeve white dress closer to the lens than the rest of dress), even with the lens hood does not solve much. InMost cases can be corrected in PP with appropriate filters and masks, but the heavier ones I could not help but switch to monochrome in order to recover the picture. In any case, these cases are sporadic, the lens is worth much more than it costs!

nikon_d3100Nikon D3100

Pros: Price / quality (almost) unbeatable, lightweight and compact in dimensions.

Cons: Very low resolution LCD screen, noise from ISO 800 up, some uncertainty AF in low light, burst and non-existent "kneading" on long exposures.

Opinion: Even for me, as for many others, it was the first (and still the only) SLR and is still sold as a kit from some retailers. This is an entry level and weight, the construction, the quality of the LCD screen do understand right away. But it's good "school ship", as it lets find out a little at a time and, despite obvious limitations, it allows those experiments that make you want to grow and improve their technique. I use it with different lenses and I have not encountered problems with MAF or another ... some are not many 11 points and subjects with little contrast is a bit 'hard work, but for the price you pay you can not expect much ( maybe today is less competitive than a couple of years ago).

sigma_18-35_f1-8Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art

Pros: MAF fast and accurate (on my machine) with AF motor noise, sharpness at all focal lengths and excellent brightness and no extrusion when using the zoom. Bokeh excellent considering that it is a zoom. Sturdy construction.

Cons: A little 'heavy; serves as an external flash with the integrated casts the shadow. Absence of stabilizer.

Opinion: I bought this lens to use it on my entry level D3100 (street and portraits) and now I find it hard to remove it from the car as I use it for everything. The bokeh is really excellent on the photos and the results were immediately noticeable, so much so that now I prefer it to other fixed Nikon (I still have it). I was also surprised the MAF fast ... almost as much as a fixed so that for the classic "point-shoot-up" in the street in moving subjects I've never been disappointed. For the money it costs it's actually got ... should not be missing in the kit of any photographer with APS-C.
