  | sent on 01 Ottobre 2017 Pros: Very light, sharp, fast focusing,good color redering, cheap. Cons: None Opinion: I have had this lens for awhile and used it as my walkaround lens on a Nikon D600. It is sharp and fast focusing. Excellent lens. I have also used it on my Sony A7r as manual focus lens and that combo works like a charm. The lens is made of plastic so I take extra good care of it. It is simply to good lens to break even if it is cheap to replace. I got mine used for about Euro 50 in 2013. Included in the price was a film camera in good condition. I gave it a well deserved 9,0 |

 | sent on 09 Settembre 2023 Pros: cheap, lightweight, excellent optical performance in my opinion, even compared to much more expensive lenses Cons: Plastic filler, lightweight construction that together with the bezel does not suggest a long life also for the probable internal existence of plastic lenses. Outer casing of cheap material subject to scratches, especially for the silver version like mine. Aesthetically ugly and plasticy Opinion: The overall optical yield combined with a negligible cost (on the second-hand market it is a few tens of euros) makes this small lens more than interesting. With a nice hood (its mount should be purchased separately) screw economic and functional (58 mm in diameter) the lens is complete. For sporadic use it does its job very well. I started to use it on my full frame D600 camera body with great satisfaction. It must always be remembered that cost-effectiveness with regard to objectives does not always mean poor performance performance, but instead affects the same, to a greater extent, on durability and functional reliability over time. In this case the construction of this lens suggests a limited duration of the optics, which remains a basic component in my humble opinion not suitable for professional or amateur intensive use. |
 | sent on 05 Giugno 2023 Pros: Weight, size and price. Sharp at the right point, fast AF Cons: too plastic, noisy, fragile graft, low quality in videos, aesthetically ugly Opinion: I used this lens as the first lens in all my camera bodies, on a D5200, a D7100 and a D800. On APS-C the focal range is a bit narrow on the wide angle, but it is very pleasant from 70 to 80mm, lens a bit dark but outdoors with sunlight it can do its job well and gives a good sharpness to the images. On D800 I noticed that at 28mm it distorts the image a bit as if it were a 10mm. Its highest quality gives it to 50mm f/8 on both APS-C and FF. In general I recommend it to those who need a lens all do at a very low price, if you have a good camera body you can also do some professional shots and no longer amateur. |
 | sent on 24 Maggio 2023 Pros: Non-existent weight and cost, excellent clarity and overall optical quality Cons: Cheap Opinion: I made an empirical comparison of this lens to focal lengths 35 and 50, aperture 5.6, iso 200, on nikon D700 (12.1 Mp) and D780 (24.1 Mp) with the following lenses: NIKKOR 28-105 f/3.5-4.5 D, 28-300 f/ 3.5-5.6 G ED VR, 28-200 f/3.5-5.6 ED G, 35-80 f/4-5.6 AF D, 28-70 f/3.5-4.5 D, 28-80 f/3.5-5.6 D, 35 f/2 AF-D, 50 f/1.8 AF-S G, 50 f/1.4 AF D, ZEISS ZE/ZF.2 Distagon 35mm f/2, ZENITH HELIOS 58 F/1.2, SIGMA 24-70 f/2.8 EX DG MACRO. I filmed a strongly contrasted scene. I considered sharpness (also) at the edges, opening of the shadows and tightness to the highlights, color rendering. In this personal ranking, with all the limits of the case, with both 35 mm sensors win the 35 f / 2 and 28/80 G here in comment, followed by the 28/80D and the 35/80 D (also featherweights from the negligible cost), in third place is the excellent but heavy sigma 24/70; The all-rounder 28/200 and 28/300 come last for mediocre results at the edges, but still good in the middle part of the frame. Beat the zeiss, which weighs three times and costs 10 times as much. The result at 50 mm is more complex. Considering the D780, the 35/80 achieves results almost indistinguishable with the benchmark, i.e. 50 f/1.4. Immediately behind are the 28/80 G and D and the 28-300. The solid and heavier 28-105 and 28-70 are less performing. The helios is a world apart: it is very sharp in the central area, it is manual, it requires an adapter that interrupts any automatism, and has a very particular blur, which you may like or not. With the D700 wins the 50 G f / 1.8, continues to do well in all parameters the 35-80, the sigma is slightly softer but holds the highlights well, the 28/70 D, the 28/80 D and G the 28/105 and in a very accentuated way the all-rounders burn the highlights. The 35-80 is an incredibly light lens (180 gr) with excellent performance even on Nikon D850 (45.7 Mp). The exceptional performance of the 28/80 also leaps to the eye, both D and the even more compact G, referred to in this topic, also a featherweight (less than 200 grams!), at 35 mm of optical yield substantially equivalent to the fixed. In response to these results, these very light, cheap lenses of excellent image quality returned, bring out not only the doubts about the policies of the producers, to which some comments that preceded me have effectively mentioned, but also the absurdity of dragging behind in street or heavy and expensive beasts travels. A nikon D780, plus the 28-80 in question, plus the very light 80-200 f/4.5-5.6 D, plus a bright fifty, you are on the kilo and six hundred grams in all, better than mirrorless. Of course, these products are certainly cheap and fragile, but they cost a few tens of euros! It may make sense to combine a zoom of these with one or two light and bright fixed ones for low-light situations or for blurred portraits. Obviously, then, those who do safaris, birdlife, sports, astronomy, architecture and design, weddings, advertising, catalogs of paintings, journalism, studio portraits will use something else, but it is 1% of cases, and perhaps less, and in any case it is a profession, where professional fatigue and the need to monetize do not coincide with the amateur dimension of simple fun and creative exploration. Lightness is freedom. Elliott Erwitt and Henri Cartier-Bresson used a small rangefinder leica with only the summicron 50 f/2: for them photography, more than an exercise in technical perfection, was to capture the revealing moment, the synthesis of a situation, the expressive simplicity. I think you are more ready to take a good picture if light and identify with the situation, than by fiddling with pounds and pounds of glass intent on assembling and reassembling them continuously. Excessive equipment is counterproductive, while a not excellent resolution at the edges or some small vignetting or chromatic aberration have never diminished a photo that tells something. |
 | sent on 12 Maggio 2023 Pros: Price, sharp, featherweight. Cons: So plástic, Maf manual difficult for rotation too short and light. Opinion: Given the price I said: I take it or go or break it! It went very well beyond my expectations. Mounted on a D610 gave me back fantastic shots! It will be plastic but even if dated I never expected that something more like a toy than a lens would pull out such sharp photos. The speed of maf I find it very good even if slightly noisy but I do not care. The automatic maf works only on cameras with internal motor, manually I struggle to focus as the mechanism is little frictioned. To cite an example: photo taken of my wife at 7-8 meters at 80mm focal length can be seen hair (even a little wrinkles ... Unfortunately). I usually shoot at aperture priority, the best results I see them at f8 even at 80mm. My lens has silver color, for some it is an opprobrium but I like it even if it clashes with the black body of the d610. In summary, I consider it an apt article! A great buy! |
 | sent on 23 Luglio 2019 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 04 Ottobre 2017 Pros: Robust but well-built. Exceptional glass with sd treatment. Cons: Very heavy and not very fluid zoom ring. Opinion: In possession of the old model I can say heavy but robust optics a myth for the era. Astonishing resolution also on digital bodies. Great brightness, though with minimum fire 3.5. It works very well in conjunction with the autofocus engines of modern machines, at least Nikon. excellent detail details.rnSecondly heavy although compact but the robustness and durability of the object have a price that is not devalued, of course, over time. |
  | sent on 28 Ottobre 2015 Pros: negligible cost, lightweight, small footprint, to the best of between f8 and f11, objective fullframe, almost no flare. Cons: not to be used under 5.6 f, plastic construction, not nice so not suitable for fashion photography. Opinion: I tried to buy this goal more 'out of curiosity than anything else', I must say it has a good colorimetry, if used to f 8 from the good satisfaction, focus fast and accurate, flare almost nonexistent, small footprint and lightweight, what ask for more 'for what it costs, and e'rnanche fullframe.rnDa absolutely try to realize as the manufacturers have us by the nose, proposing goals expensive, heavy and super sharp in theory, only to market policy, of course our expense illusion that as 'doing we would pictures much more' beautiful. |
 | sent on 25 Maggio 2015 Pros: Optical very cheap, light, excellent color rendering. Cons: Economic construction in plastica.Nitidezza just honest. Opinion: In my humble opinion it is a goal, that even if he despised by many different qualities. Warm colors and pasty (best goals much more famous) .As for sharpness is a bit 'soft, but in some situations it is not bad (eg portraits.). With some PP gives beautiful soddisfazioni.Il costs the lowest in the market. |
 | sent on 15 Novembre 2013 Pros: lightweight, cheaply, AF quite fast, bright, practical. Cons: constructed entirely of plastic, ring rough and inaccurate, noisy. Opinion: Optics honest, bought used, I was pleasantly surprised by the clarity and brightness. For me they are "beginner" is a great gym. More or less ill-treated by all widely ago in my opinion his duty. The plastic construction makes it sturdy and rugged little use of the zoom, but with a little patience you can adapt. |
