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.

Pros: Construction of other times, excellent sharpness, compact and lightweight, built-in lens hood

Cons: Minimum focusing distance a bit high (1.3 m)

Opinion: I was fortunate enough to find one at a ridiculously high price and in excellent conditions of use and I did not let him escape, mindful of his surrender when I had the Nikon FM. It has excellent sharpness and color rendering, is compact and robust, lends itself to many genres, including the landscape, always giving great images. Obviously requires some attention in the focus. I use it on Nikon Df with great satisfaction and Goduria.

Pros: build quality, sturdiness, bokeh

Cons: Maf away a bit 'long, maybe a dark coat.

Opinion: I achieve this with my father. I use it recently but I have to say that is a really great goal, despite being only f / 3.5 provides a blurred beautiful and a very good sharpness already at full aperture. Obviously it is a lens of all manual, so better to use it with minimal subjects statici.rnMessa focus a bit 'longish, well 1.3 mt.

Pros: sturdy construction, incisive photographic performance but gentle, second-price, compact size and low weight, hood intergrated.

Cons: minimum distance of focus (1.3 meters), the focus ring does not soft. Not easy to be focused.

Opinion: With 120euri I took this ragazzuolo, which initially gave me pause because I could not handle it (focal length / manual focus), but the time a couple of days and I began to subdue him with great success and satisfaction. At f3.5 and 'a little' less clear, but from f5.6 corrects the shot definitely up to the most 'apertures. It has a nice balanced bokeh (nothing miraculous, mind you), it does not have geometric defects and does not turn colors. And 'crisper Model f2.8 ais, costing half. It 'fell on the ground and stones rolling for a few dozen meters down' for a cliff, and has suffered only a few scratches on the hood and front cap! Great to take along on trips more 'adventurous. The photographic performance and 'pleasant, a bit' retro 'as I like it, with the distinctive crystallinity of this Nikon series, for me I do not love the photos too sharp and nervous. Unfortunately, compared to other ais, it is more stupid in focus.

Pros: Sharpness classic fixed focal length, strength of the old Nikon lenses rnCosto low (although I already owned)

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: I rediscovered this lens that I had hastily put on board with the transition to digital and I'm using Nikon D7000 in manual mode, I have to say that apart from the inconvenience of manual focusing is giving me a lot of satisfaction as a portrait lens for the first plans as well as a short telephoto for landscapes .rnVisto low price recommend it to all those who want to rediscover the taste of focuse hand ... the results are guaranteed.
