Pros:Af-D works on all my analog and D bodies, light, compact, fast and precise (of course there's better), plastic but durable, good overall yield
Cons:a little washed out and with little contrast of its own in the final surrender compared to other my goals, but I do not know if it is a counter to 28mm and TA has a slight glossy/dreamlike effect but it can be interesting
Opinion:was my first purchase, I had to choose a zoom quickly because the 60 micro on the d200 was too long and I was undecided, between him and the 28-105, read the opinions here on juza and those of kenR , I threw myself on this that I paid at the end 40 degrees, on the d200 was a little long and slowly I joined it with the 19-35 , but on film or D610 is a real all-rounder the mount and not the deadlift anymore, in fact not to use it usually I start already with another goal, as it is said in these cases does not excel in anything but is good for everything, it is not a macro but focuses very close, it is not a blade but nn knead, I do not have the lampshade , but it has a resistance to flares commendable the maximum gives it with two stop closing from TA but it is discreet even TA as long as it is not at the shorter focals generates a glossy effect that is not always said to have. the thing I noticed compared to the 70-210 and the 60 micro is the less "saturation" of colors and a lower contrast, if you do not like anything unsolvable with settings in the room or in PP. on the d610 it was necessary to make the fine AF adjustment, on the d200 no, fortunately since nn exists :-D
Pros:Compact, light, no ghost and a few flares, little distortion at 28mm, minimum distance of maf reduced, excellent color yield, deriful price (for what it offers is given if you pay 100E, excellent sharpness on the whole frame closing by 1 stop (on Nikon D850 from 47 Mp!), a ta is quite sharp in the center and gradually decays to the edges (great for portraits)
Cons:THEY DON'T DO IT ANYMORE!... The lens rotates during the maf (uncomfortable for circular polarizer).
Opinion:If Nikon had simply updated this optics with a real aspheric lens (no hybrid - plastic glued to glass) and a few extra seals, you could have saved virtually every other zoom in this range of focals, maybe making an f2.8 only for those who just can't do without it (and they are few, compared to those who buy the 24-70 f2.8). I haven't been good with this zoom, taken used at 90E. I mounted it on the D850. He made me chapeau. It weighs 1/3 of the 24-70 f2.8 g and in my possession. And the yield is really beautiful. Moral: I'm going to sell the 24-70 f2.8. I do not make much of 1 stop less and 4mm less than the f2.8 (with Nikon D850 and Nikon D5 if shot at 12800 ISO and mold 20x30 is equal that if I had shot at 6400 ISO), while I am very pleased with the other qualities of this small wonder (made color, compactness, lightness). I'm only concerned about the tightness of the hybrid aspheric lens (glue between plastic and glass). Edit: Recently used "for challenge" for studio photos, with a really good rendering. The photos were perfect as outputs: crisp, consistent color yield, soft, progressive tonal passages. I can only reiterate the goodness of this lens.
Opinion:bought this morning, I took some test shots, and I must say that I did not expect such a yield from a 60 euro optics. it is not particularly bright, but the sharpness is discreet, the price, I repeat, content, and anyway until I can take a 2.8 I will try to settle. the only flaw is the lack of the lightroom profile, resulting in vignettes that are difficult to correct in full
Opinion:I was looking for a handyman for my d700, I would have preferred to have a fixed f2.8 but both for a matter of cost and for a matter of clutter and weight I opted on this lens and it was a surprise, better than I expected! Specifically at TA it is already very sharp in the center with a bit of a coma at the corners (especially at 28mm, where it is softer and is noticeable barrel distortion) but just close by a stop and the lens shows a surprising sharpness all over the frame , in general the yield is fairly uniform at the same opening diaphragm over the entire focal excursion, good colors, contrast, excellent seal ingess compared to aberrations and flares, excellent starry 18-pointed (very defined on any excursion), construction definitely good (it seems assembled better than other af-d lenses like the 50 1.4D), focus not very fast but decidedly precise (a bit noisy but so are other lenses of the same series), ultimately as much as it definitely costs to have to kit.
Opinion:A very balanced handyman optics, used on my analogue SLR (Nikon F80) performs well at all focal lengths without excelling, it is a great all make light and comfortable to carry around for trips (it is not so bright but this is good because it is small and light). On Digital does its job, I use it on my d300s for reportage and contextualized portraits and it's not bad, it has a good yield and closing from F 5.6 onwards is crisp. Excellent construction of the very robust zoom nuts that blocks the lens and does not allow involuntary hikes. To the feel from the plastic feel but in the end it is quite sturdy.
