Pros: Dimensions, lightness, construction, general yield

Cons: To be used on FX, on DX it goes bad. Af noisy

Opinion: The vintage alternative, compact and better built to the current line of the G series. Sharpness still good already at f / 4 (on full frame) and excellent at intermediate diaphragms, on the contrary it is less resolving. Returns colors vaguely warmer than the latest generation lenses and is less contrasted, features that can be appreciated in the landscapes. Compactness remains its great advantage over current fixtures and zooms, while maintaining good image quality.

Pros: Optical quality, color rendering dimensions

Cons: Backlit

Opinion: I used this analogue for years mainly for DIA, excellent lens for both landscape and interior and street, I really liked the color rendering and the low distortion considered the focal, and optics with dimensions and weights liable compared to the same focal length nowadays.rnVenduto to change system and then bought back to use on Canon FF, then resold later to purchase 16/35 f4 IS, the only flaw that I found is in the shots against the light and mainly in digital, problem that in analogy I had not noticed or at least was much less marked.rn

Pros: Great detail and beautiful color rendering

Cons: Autofocus governed only by the camera body. Poor tightness in the backlighting

Opinion: Purchased this lens especially for its lightness and compactness, I was amazed by its performance even on a demanding camera such as the D810. The photos produced by this pair are sharp and with bright colors, especially on shades of blue. Like all the optics of the Afd series, I suffer a little backlighting and does not have a hyper reactive AF. In any case recommended if you love light and defined wide-angle lenses.

Pros: it costs little, weighs little, makes it good

Cons: nothing has ever occurred to me

Opinion: I'm not an expert, but I do almost daily use of this lens with interior photographs. great sharpness, I also like the blurred as it is rarely used. leveling it to f16 and obviously priorities of diaphragms I sent to photograph people who did not know what he was doing but brought home the result. one deserves a polarized match for backlit situations. I'm looking for a lens even more pushed for the d700 but it will not be easy to match its practicality, robustness and mechanics.

Pros: Sharpness, compact, great on board

Cons: Anything

Opinion: Wonderful optics, colors that reflect reality, without surpassing how the new generations, with the D800E, become sublime, a widescreen ultrasound that is in a pocket, I gave it a nd nd 1000 Haida slim filter, there is little to add. .. must have, in the used, it is at a tedious price.Do keep it in your pocket, to those who love this focus

Pros: Excellent sharpness even at full aperture, small size, construction, price.

Cons: Vignetting pretty obvious at full aperture (which still disappears at f 5.6), my copy was suffering from an obvious backfocus.

Opinion: As noted a moment ago, my copy was suffering from an obvious backfocus completely solved with the drive fine adjustment (in my case with D800 -17). Without it, the goal was really little crisp to the point that the first shots I was really disappointed. Through the adjustment however, I find that the sharpness is excellent even at full aperture. Also the yield on the corners and 'excellent. Virtually in line with Quach year ago test 'that assessed its sharpness with "excellent". On this point I am quite at variance with previous opinions that assess "Unclear". Propio If I have to find a nit, I would say that the blurred and 'a little' too mushy for my taste (but difficimente trying out the fire in an ultra wide-angle). Vignetting and 'obvious af 2.8 enough but facimente solvable in pp. rnRispetto to what you read around, also was really surprised by the low distortion, in my opinion does not exceed 1,5 / 2% and however easily remedied at pp. Especially valuable presenceAperture Ring, essential to use the optical also on completely mechanical machines (I still do Quach roller B & W). Very compact, well-built and easy to carry. Got it used to be in excellent condition affincare perfectly (for my taste) the 24/70 or 35 fisso.rnContentissimo purchase and saw the price, I recommend it without any problems, AF setting allowing ... rn

Pros: Weight and size, construction, ease of use, performance

Cons: suffers a little flare

Opinion: They say it distorts, that made you lose a lot on the edge ... I find it excellent. already closing one stop I find that quality is at the top, 2.8 maybe a bit soft but the subjects messiah focus in the foreground are always very sharp, then it is obvious that if you focus to infinity the image will be soft .. but there is minimal distortion, it corrects with a click in lightroom without compromising anything. And it's so small and light !! the mountains and do not feel it. If it was a f2 would be still one of the best wide-angle Nikon is a .. 2.8 .. patience. the quality remains high. It suffers a little flare if the sun is in the frame, but with a minimum of foresight is not annoying.

Pros: Lightness, high risolvenza on D800.

Cons: six are pixel peepers: at full aperture is a little 'softer lens of new generazione.rnse you Photographer: no

Opinion: It is a lens that I love. I always keep the mounted, we do urban landscapes and shooting and I was never disappointed. images stay crisp and clear. yes, the edges are not perfect but on the ground of other lenses far more noble. the peculiarity that I prefer him in the distortion: ALMOST ABSENT and the little that is going away to 100% with ACR, LR or PTlens! clutter is almost zero and this is important. if you love the wide-angle fixed focal home nikon this can not miss in your kit. a must. especially keeping in mind that costs about 250 euro on the used market.

Pros: small, lightweight, compact is used in ample field of view, great for use in inverted excellent f8

Cons: flare vignetting at RT, in my case af loud, strong diffraction from 14 onwards faint up to f4

Opinion: I use the 20mm on d700 is a good lens in the complex light small, but cartoon and it gets worse with the filter screw, TA affected much of the coma, I bought it used at 250 € per night shots and macro mounting it reversed, not I regret not buying because you forget to have it in the bag and the distortion can be used to emphasize the close-ups and detach them from the backgrounds ... unfortunately I do not know if 24 or 28 are the best, as far as I am concerned I am good to run with the 20, 35 and 50 rn

Pros: Lightweight, compact, very good price (used)

Cons: Unclear

Opinion: It was my first approach, used mainly with FF (D600). It has a great value for money, in fact I recommend it to those who Winey this fantastic mondo.rnMi gave much satisfaction especially in the street. I think it is a good lens for this type of photography because it has a good angle of view, and even with close subjects behaves well, distorting poco.rnPoco sharp corners and good resistance to flare.rnConclusione personal ill-suited for landscapes (just contrast and sharpness), great for street

Pros: Compact, lightweight, solid, with a very wide angle of view of FF

Cons: Very dated, and with different yield from specimen to specimen, poorly suited to digital, distortion quite pronounced.

Opinion: Use this view of D700. Has a shooting angle exceptional, with the distortion normal for a lens of this kind. However, the perception is that of non-professional perspective (although it was, in his time), producing files blurry and contrasted. After the first few days of enthusiasm for the use of a similar lens, begins to show limits even in comparison with optical recent less efficient. I tried several different specimens that were made, so it is essential to a thorough test when buying used. Discrete price of used (about 300 euro), while I think the price is too high again. In my opinion lends itself very well to the reports and photos of architecture / street, gives satisfaction for subjects up close and immersed. Suffer enough in the case of natural landscapes lacking contrast or soft light.

Pros: Small, lightweight, inexpensive, excellent resistance to flare, excellent sharpness in the center

Cons: Poor quality at the edges at the widest apertures (down to f / 5.6), the focus ring to focus also rotates in AF mode and can not be done without removing the coupling, the AF works only with machines equipped with engine AF integrated

Opinion: Optical advisable, small and light with a fairly large field of view on FX. The quality is very high in the center even wide open, but the edges are much softer, even by closing one stop. F / 5.6 becomes valid on the entire screen. The distortion is barely visible and resistance to flare is very high. Dx judgment is similar even if the edges are a bit 'meeglio.

Pros: Little distortion to be a 20mm, size and weight, high sharpness between 5.6 and 11

Cons: Slight vignetting, loss of quality at the edges wide open

Opinion: The 20mm af-d is an ideal lens for architectural photography and paesaggio.rnIl its definitely better from the f / 8, in that the diaphragm is extremely sharp, a lower aperture to f / 4, the yield is certainly softer but it is also a utilizzabilissimo all apertura.rnLa lens is equipped with the CRC so even on close subjects has an excellent performance, it is blurred ottimo.rnrnSu DX vignetting is virtually absent, the vignetting on FX in some cases you do not see but nothing that can be corrected with trivial commands in the post 20mm produzione.rnrnIl favorably direct the flare, ie when the sun is in the frame, but does not have a good relationship with the flare from stray light because the lens hood is not always able to shield stray light for all because of the convex shape of the frontali.rnrnIl 20mm lens has a 62mm filter ring door, on the right we mounted a polarizer at random and all goes well, on fx the problem is not simple, polarizers 62mm slim also increase the vvignettatura, the My advice is quello to buy a Chinese thin ring to mount 77mm filters (why 77? 77mm because you can adapt them or mount directly to the 99% of the lenses on the market) and a filter polarizzaotre 77, so that the metal edges of the polarizer is not aggiongeranno vignetting in the corners, the filters for the FF on a wide-angle lens so must be of a quality, those from my tests from the best results are definitely the B + W MRC SLIM (also the KSM that is with gasket d ' water) and the Marumi Super Circular, the latter has the same quality as B + W, slightly increases the risk of flare because it has anti-glare u ntrattamento less effective than b + w but in return sticker lot, but much less than b + w.
