Pros: Construction of other times, extraordinary mechanics, excellent optical design

Cons: baffling distortion, vignetting

Opinion: Truly a nice piece, materials and construction are those of the AFD 28 mm f 1.4 which is all to say. However, this goal has been unsuccessful and this depends on the high cost at launch and the performance that is not brilliant, albeit very good. TA vignetting is obvious, useless to deny it, you have to close a little bit. And the whirling distortion does not lack, but in my opinion it can also be used creatively. People tend to share it and compare it with AFD 20 mm, wrong big. Our 18 has 6 ounces more, building precious materials, in short, is quite another thing. Recommended if you can get up to 500 euros, you bring home a jolly that goes cmq better than the plasticosis zoom ... rnATTENZIONE: the writer is not an influencer or a guru, nor does one who downloads images of others from network for improper improbability. I've been for almost forty years a passionate nikonist of photography and photographic material and my opinion is not vanfrost, but only the result of empirical experience. The objects I write really buy them, I play a few months and if I do not like them, but always and in any case of material at the moment in my possession. I do not make the copy paste of reviews taken here and there on the net, if I'm talking about an item it's just and because I had in the house the time it took (at least months) to try to figure it out. I often go against current, but this does not take my sleep, as far as possible I try to help young aspiring photographers who give a weight to their savings. But, I repeat, I do not bring the verb ...

Pros: Solid metal construction Lens PRO Series D, good sharpness in the center and the edge closing from f4 forward, becoming excellent at f8, colors, ability to read the shadows and tonal passages typical lens D, lightweight and standard filter thread 77mm

Cons: Vignetting absolutely invasive almost unusable TA becomes only good from f5.6, distortion whisker marked and difficult to correct.

Opinion: A lens with strengths and weaknesses, this is the last 18mm sold by Nikon, was the treasure of the long tradition of this focus of the company but does not reach the heights of excellence in other Wide Angle casa.rnAd any case appears to be a lens well built , by good optical scheme (think element aspherical precision grinding), small and light. Holding discreetly the backlight, has an appreciable sharpness that the edges diminishes significantly even if the best from the f5.6 onwards and finally, thanks to the reduced distance focusing also allows effects creativi.rnPurtroppo suffers both a marked vignetting , so invasive as to be almost unusable TA, it is a marked distortion mustache. It 'true that today with the digital first flaw is corrected easily with a click but the second is more difficult to correct, so watch the flat horizon line in the final paesaggi.rnrnIn today that used to revolve around 500 Euros you can take into account, provide a fair return for the price of several precautions at the time were uponano a price totally out of business.
