Pros: Sharpness, lightness, substance

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: Surgeon's goal: you have a scalpel in your hand. I have owned this timeless milestone for 20 years and I assure you that it will be with me for quite a while. A f2 already has a devastating sharpness at the edges and a dizzying blurry. The feeling you have is to have in your hand pure quality that from the touch passes straight to the graphic result. If you then mount it on an APS C you have an abundant 120 that from portrait is fabulous. Attention: superior a hundred times to its brother f 1.4bin terms of distortion and vignetting....... Happy 85 to all and do not sell it: you will regret it bitterly

Pros: Construction, yield, blurry, beautiful feelings with the focus ring

Cons: Chromatic aberrations with very open diaphragms, if the lampshh is screwed the cap does not fit well.

Opinion: I really like it both as surrender and aesthetically, I use it on apsc (d7500) especially to take pictures of my partner. The lens is solid and well built, the overall yield compared to the 50in D series is definitely better. His weak point is definitely the open diaphragm AC, while he gives his best he has to f2.4. I find the focus precise and fast despite being a D series. Very satisfied.

Pros: Color fidelity, AF response, sharpness, blurred, open shadows, no distortions, practicality of use, speed of use, compactness, metallic lampshade.

Cons: Slightly noisy focus.

Opinion: It is the lens that, mounted on the D700, gave me the greatest satisfaction. Well balanced on the D700 offers safety in use and safety of results. It is valid not only in portraiture but also in theatre photography and landscape photos. The contrast is never excessive. This lens insulates the subject from the background in the best way possible. Very well readable faces in group photos (when I have enough space I always prefer, in group photos, to use this lens rather than the 50 mm or 35 mm). The focus is quick and precise. Another feature that makes it irreplaceable in night photographs of celestial bodies such as when you need to use manual focus is the fact that you are sure that at the end of the run the fire is set to infinity, without any doubt.

Pros: Agile, precise AF, Sharpness, Cheap

Cons: With a Full Time MF would have been the top. Some chromatic aberration.

Opinion: Taken used at the beginning of summer, I used it for several shots and always gave me great satisfaction. Maybe with little light and not having Full Time MF can be less comfortable in situations of low brightness, because of the elongated laying times and having to retaite the trigger for the new MF, but otherwise I do not think I could have found better, if not spending a lot more money... and it wasn't my goal.

sent on July 13, 2020

Pros: A little bit everything

Cons: AC to f1.8

Opinion: Arrived Friday, used Saturday night on my trust d700 for most of the evening, little to add to what already written ... if just there is something to say with very diffuse light you notice a little AC to f1.8 (especially coma), otherwise compact lens, well built, blurry very nice... the lens I was missing
