Pros: Lightweight, precise, beautiful colors, sharp.

Cons: nobody

Opinion: Searched and found specifically to mount it on apsc, I use it in almost all my works, it becomes a beautiful portrait lens, while the 50 mm has become residual, with a little attention to distortion from very close it is used practically always, even in the evening and with the lights off, used with the flash on the machine is still accurate. if you find it, don't miss it.

Pros: Lightness, price, optical quality

Cons: practically none; maybe a larger lens diameter than 52mm

Opinion: I bought several years ago together with my first digital (a D300, which was therefore a 40mm) this lens to make panoramas; I preferred it to a zoom, it was short, light, with the possibility of manual controls and from the first shots it conquered me immediately. It has never disappointed me with this use also because in election I use it at ƒ11. Later I also mounted it on D700 and d810 (lent for a while) and if on the DX I had found it excellent, however on FF it did not disfigure; maybe at 36Mp it makes you feel a bit the lack of that apparent sharpness (it would be better to say resolution) that cameras above 20Mp require. But I prefer to stay between 12 and 20Mp so I prefer the tonal softness of the AFD optics to the new ones with VR and nanoCrystal also because for 80% shooting on tripod and with the flexible. Instead I prefer the tonal softness (not to be confused with the sharpness or contrast) and the pastel colorimetry of the old AF-D optics (which returned more open shadows). I read in the various comments that it would be "Not very lively compared to others" yet tests in hand but that I would not know how to publish, the tonal range and the colors returned are certainly more lively but not contrasted and saturated, even compared to other optics of the same AF-D series. In short, I am fully satisfied, but as with all things everyone has their own "idea" of image and it is good that it is so, because otherwise you know that piattume ....

Pros: Compact and lightweight. Good optical quality.

Cons: The quality is good but it has never seemed to me a reference goal. Which is not exactly a con.

Opinion: This was the lens that came standard as "Normal" with the Kodak DCS 510 that I used to make tile catalogs in the mid-90s. I immediately replaced it with the 60mm micro because it was definitely unsuitable for photography of rectangular objects from close range (although it was not disastrous, let's be clear: the distortion itself is contained) It has however remained in my film kit as a wide angle and does its job honestly. Maybe it is not my favorite lens, I say in general also because I am more inclined to the use of short telephoto lens, but it is still more than suitable for occasional use in particular for "ambient" photos, where it is necessary to embrace a wider field giving dynamism to the image. In short, it is a wide angle and does its job honestly. I find it just a bit "flat" in the yield. Not very lively compared to others that I am inclined to use more frequently both of the same brand but with other focal lengths, and of another brand but the same focal length. In any case I would not give it up.

Pros: small and light, good construction (better than other afds although with cheaper materials), reliable and versatile

Cons: optical quality does not go beyond full sufficiency

Opinion: Good for reportage / street given the small size, it is quite good even in the landscape and in generic use, thanks to the balanced contrast and the solidity of performance in the most diverse light conditions. However, it does not offer particular skills of sharpness, reproduction of shades and color rendering, pasty and in any case full. Ultimately recommended more for the practical/economic aspect than for those looking for high image quality. I used it on reflex fx, where it remains one of the few targetss that is AF, small and of good brightness. A TA in the middle of the frame is fine, you don't need to close the iris for acceptable sharpness.
