Pros: Moderate distortion, excellent sharpness across the whole lens from f/4, chromatic aberrations contained, light weight.
Cons: Price, but it's still €250 less than the Z version when it launched.
Opinion: I'm rediscovering this lens that I've had for a while, but I would specifically like to talk about its use on APS-C, to obtain a 35mm equivalent, for which I have carried out numerous tests. To start, I had to compensate the AF at -20 on Nikon D500, but this is probably specific to my body (?). Moreover, once the AF was satisfactory, I tested the rendering of the lens at 1.5m, 2m, 5m, 7m, with a centered subject, then semi-off-center and finally off-center, at apertures f/2, f /2.8, f/4, f/5.6 and f/8 (more closed does not interest me for my use). I must affirm the astonishing similarity of my modest observations, with the results of the professional test of DXOMark on D500!!! On a centered subject, it's excellent from f/2. On the other hand, the result is disappointing (yet APS-C uses the center of the lens and its periphery) on the edges for an off-centre subject. The best rendering is obtained at f/5.6... Of course, on Full Frame (eg D750), the results are better everywhere, even at full aperture. Regarding its ergonomics, everything has been said here, I would simply add that the plastic aspect which is often criticized for the f/1.8 range, seems to me on the contrary a certain advantage for the weight... Finally, everything leads to believe that its Z version is even better, but also significantly more expensive :/
In conclusion, the idea of getting a 35mm mounted on APS-C did not quite convince me. I would rather reserve it for what it is made of: an excellent 24mm;) |
