Pros: resistance, price
Cons: Stiffness and play in the focal length variation dial
Opinion: I align myself with the review that preceded me: slow without infamy and without praise but able to honor the most common needs; it is solid, aesthetically pleasing, returns a good feeling except for a certain rigidity and possible play in the focal length variation ring; Overall the value for money of this glass is more than good. My opinion makes use of an empirical comparison, partial and without any claim to scientific, of this lens at focal lengths 35 and 50, iso 200, on nikon D700 and D780, aperture 5.6 with the following optics: 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, 28-80 f/3.3-5.6 G, 28-80 f/3.5-5.6 D, 35-80 f/4-5.6 AF 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 with everyone the same scene strongly contrasted. I considered sharpness (also) at the edges, opening of the shadows and tightness to the highlights, color rendering. In this personal ranking at 35 mm win the 35 f / 2 and the very light 28/80 G, followed by the 28/80D and 35/80 D, also extremely compact and light, follows the massive sigma 24/70; The all-rounder 28/200 and 28/300 arrive last for the modest results at the edges (valid instead in the center). The result at 50 mm is more complex. Considering the D780, the tiny 35/80 achieves exceptional results, almost indistinguishable with the benchmark, namely the 50 f/1.4. Immediately behind are the two tiny 28/80 G and D and the large and heavy 28-300. The helios is a world apart: very sharp in the central area, it has no 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 here in comment, the 28/80 D and G the 28/105 and even more pronounced the all-rounders tend to burn the highlights, but problem that I did not encounter with the D780. This 28-70 is in the middle. The 35-80 and 28-80 are featherweights of a few tens of euros of excellent optical yield (the 28-80 especially on the D780), not perceptibly dissimilar from the best fixed, which is shocking, given their multi-decade age, the non-existent cost and the negligible weight. There is a vague suspicion that the manufacturers are taking us by the bottoms, selling us unnecessary weight. The 28-70 here in comment still has a much more robust and consistent construction than the cheap one of the aforementioned microzooms, but the yield is lower than the focal lengths 35 and 50. I did not make comparisons to focal length 70. |
