Opinion:The optics are truly phenomenal, usable both at TA for portraits and at closed apertures for landscapes, with D850 it allows you to print large formats with edges at excellent resolution. The construction is plasticky but the optics are really compact and light. The colors are among the coldest I've seen and the shadows closed, in PP you have to work to give them a little "warmth" and open the shadows, which is very easy because fortunately there are no dominants and you can always balance everything
Opinion:I bought this lens six years ago for the "small" D3300 and since then it has been the standard lens for me. With the small sensor it shows off beautiful, sharp and correct Jpegs at full aperture, splendid color rendering. In the night photos of urban landscapes, fixed cameras and long poses, he gave me great satisfaction, bringing out images that, as a pure amateur without who knows what technical baggage, have always seemed to me beautiful to lick my fingers. In these situations the autofocus is very effective, it rarely misses a shot (unlike the other Nikkor at my disposal, the 16-85 ED DX, which, as far as focusing at night was a half ordeal). It's also sturdy. Once, together with the camera, it fell from about a meter and a half, and after the initial panic, except for one of the fixing tabs of the lens hood, I was able to see that it was not damaged, and the operation remained at its maximum. I've been using it on a full frame for about a year now. With the large sensor you can see a little distortion at the edges in the photos, which was obviously cut before, and in night photos in the city sometimes a few too many flares, but nothing excessive. The same resolution of 24megapixels, spread on the larger surface of the FF sensor, makes it lose a little engraving. In any case, overall, also considering the still affordable price, I would say that it is a piece to have absolutely in the kit.
Opinion:I looked for it a lot in the second-hand market, but once I mounted and tested it in the field, I was disappointed by the sharpness. From a fixed point of view I expected more. It is true that it does not cost a kidney like other goals, but honestly in the details it did not satisfy me. On the D780, which already in itself returns pasty and little engraved RAW, this lens gives the coup de grace to your photos. Usable in landscapes and architecture, but not in full-length portraiture. I eventually resold it and got a quality zoom.
Pros:Colors, lights, AF, lightness, sharpness already from f2
Cons:Slight chromatic aberrations at f1.8
Opinion:I had literally fallen in love with the 35 f1.8 DX that I had left in the kit for the atmosphere and the shades of light it came. however, despite the zero cost and the absurd quality on the FF it was necessary to crop relatively to eliminate vignetting. On the advice of several I went on the famous Sigma Art but an absurd disappointment, especially for the fact that 2 photos out of 4 were to be thrown away because the fire was wrong for no reason, plus it had other very serious defects considering how it was decanted, in addition to not giving me that something I expected. At this point I decided to go back to the Nikon and I opted for this 1.8 that is made to go a little into the background because of the 1.4; As soon as I took it I went downtown to try it and the first shot I said ... FINALLY it's him. Took two photos that were perfect not to have to fix a hair in PP. It behaves in a somewhat special way, at open apertures the contrasts increase, a little vignetting is a bit of vividness, at more closed apertures, already from f2.8 the photo becomes more neutral. I'm so glad I took it.
Opinion:I want to write this review to confirm the fame of the 1.8 G series. Fantastic goal, at 1.8 sharp in the middle and well at the edges. At f/14 the edges are simply perfect. Being a 35 mm for my photography style does not need a screaming bokeh. The competition does better on sharpness, but doubles the weight and features a thin metal body that bends to shocks. G-series plastic is made specifically to absorb shocks. In fact, there are two ways to build lasting goals (but in reality everything): Half a hundred and medium-centimetre of heavy metal or to exploit plastic technology (I wonder in this form how recyclable). Targets made with 1mm of metal carry only the DEFECTS of the latter. Nikon's 1.8G series doesn't miss a beat, I would be very happy to get my hands on the 20 mm f/1.8 G, I hope one day I will. The new 20 mm f/1.8 S a dream hardly achievable when I have the Z5, it must be the apotheosis even if I doubt it is "only" a 20 1.8G + ftz built-in simply correct.
