Pros: Build quality, definition, brightness, for FF and Aps-C

Cons: Focal range, weight

Opinion: Sharp lens with a wide minimum focal length. It produces sharp shots, even if a bit cold compared to other lenses I own (but I think it is enough to intervene a priori on the camera adjustments). The only limit I have always perceived is not so much the weight, but its focal range; I would have liked it to have had a greater focal range both as a wide-angle and towards more extreme focal lengths. This is a known fact, but when you are out and about with your camera and you have only this lens with you, it happens that you would like to have more focal range. It is still a lens that, although dated, I recommend. It is good for FF and Aps-C sensors.

Pros: Used cost, linear.

Cons: Slightly heavy

Opinion: Bought as used at about € 250 for Nikon in both the FX (D750) and DX (D5300) reflexes, it looks almost everywhere (where there is no need for a canvas). Great performance ... but the weight is certainly not the Its strong. It does not regret some fixed optics for the value of its brightness (2.7). Very closed diaphragm I find it not very good. Good at 5.6. Clearly, the D750 can also be used in AF, unlike the D5300.

Pros: zoom range, good color rendering, sharpness from f5.6 to rise

Cons: Flare unacceptable in some light conditions, lens hood plug, af not quite flawless on D7000

Opinion: I use this a little 'for all kinds of optical stage and I have to say that the more you learn to know its strengths and limits based on the lighting conditions, the more you realize that it is quite versatile. rnTirando sums is a perspective that is worth having or otherwise trying if you do not want to invest so much money into something more higher-end modern.

Pros: Price flea Value excellent yield already at TA wonderful to be 5.6 f f 8 very interesting focal and brightness 2.7 3.5 (2.8 3.5) in size and well balanced weight

Cons: af suffering in poor lighting conditions of the lens hood attachment bayonet

Opinion: I took this lens as a game paid very little just 70 Euros in excellent conditions of use has been a pleasant surprise on nikon d5 at f2.8 and very sharp and engraved really a pleasant surprise af quite responsive in good light conditions but falls significantly in poor lighting conditions the council a lot if you find it in good working condition

Pros: Zoom range, sharpness, maximum opening 20mm

Cons: Af inaccurate, it suffers from flare in strong backlighting

Opinion: I am using this view of d800, after reading the reviews on the web and in the face of good considerations on various blogs and established photographers including ken rockwell I decided to prenderla.rnÈ a goal that despite his age performs well in many situations, from the landscaping to the street, the detail from 5.6 up is really good on the whole area of ??the photo, the distortion is almost absent and returns beautiful colori.rnLa focus ring is perhaps a bit 'too light and rotates when you set car, my model has a problem of back focus solved with fine tuning, but almost always using it in the manual and in iperfocale I have not mentioned preoccuparmi.rnIn certain situations with direct sun flare circular suffers too large to be tolerated in foto.rnIl a weight and size are related very well considering the hike and the diaphragm, the construction is sturdy, the overall quality very satisfactory and the price of used convenientissimo.rnCon a wise use and criterio will produce good results.
