Nikon 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G ED IF Autofocus VR Nikkor Zoom Lens Price

This lens came with my D700 kit. For the longest time, I did not have a term for comparison. I finally acquired a Nikon 80-200 2.8 (push-pull), which is supposedly much sharper than this lens (in the overlapping focal range). Surprise – it isn’t! Even when pixel peeping, I could not see the difference in sharpness when shooting at the respective lens optimal aperture. Now, this lens is NOT as sharp as a prime (compared with a 50mm 1.8), but neither is the more expensive 24-70mm 2.8.
Pros:
- Good image quality for a 5x zoom.
- Reasonably wide on FX – it was definitely an eye opener after the 18mm typical wide end of most DX midrange zooms.
- good build quality for the money (except for the butterfly hood thread). I’d say this is solidly in the ‘middle’ class of the Nikon lens universe – in between the likes of 18-55, 55-200 DX on the low end and the fast zooms on the high end.
- VR works like a charm.
- relatively light for the focal range covered
- AF is fast and silent.
- Front element does not rotate – good for polarizing filters.

Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED AF-S DX Nikkor Zoom Lens Price

I picked up the D40x body a few months back and wanted to just get the basic lens for my camera.
This was a great price and the wait was over.
Once the lens arrived i took some test shot’s and was very pleased.
I was using my Nikkor SLR lens before this one but it is over 10 years old and can’t use any of the auto features.
The quality is what you’d expect from the brand name.
This will stay with my Nikkon D40x until i can afford to get a Nikkor Zoom Lens, then i can switch at ease.

I had considered getting the Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens but i really think this is more than fine for now.

Feature

• Ultra-compact 3x zoom lens designed exclusively for use with Nikon Digital SLR models
• 18-55mm focal length

Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens Price

I purchased this lens 10 months ago and it usually doesn’t leave the camera. I also have the 50mm 1.8 that you often hear being recommended to beginners by more experienced users. I have found the 50mm to be too long (probably because of the crop), so I use this lens almost exclusively now.

Nikon 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED Autofocus VR Zoom Nikkor Lens Price

I wanted a lens over 200mm for my arsenal and unfortunately, if you stick with the Nikon brand, there aren’t too many options. I chose the 80-400, but I have to say that it’s the one Nikon lens purchase I’ve had the most trouble getting excited over. Not that it isn’t a great product – it is – it’s just that it seemed like a step back in time since this lens hasn’t kept up with the features of Nikon’s phenomenally good pro lenses throughout the rest of the product line. In the end, I felt like the choice was to “settle” for this product, or spend several times more money on (say) the excellent 200-400 zoom instead. Or, I suppose you could wait for the next upgrade, but I’ve already been waiting a few years with no result.

Nikon 200mm f/2G ED-IF AF-S VR Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras Price

It weights as much as the af-s 300mm f/2.8 (gen 1) but is about 2.5″ shorter in length. The primary lens is the same size, and it’s a chore to lug around. 10lbs to be exact with a D700 and a battery grip. The personality of the lens, e.g. sharpness, bokeh, is similar to the 105mm DC Nikkor f/2, except it has faster focus, able to shoot a couple of stops faster with VR, and has a 200mm focal length.

Nikon 24mm f/3.5D ED PC-E Nikkor Ultra-Wide Angle Lens for Nikon DSLR Cameras Price

I previously reviewed this lens. I now have second one and it appears the first was either defective or they vary wildly. Lens #1 came from eBay, due to Nikon’s “we’re backordered, but don’t buy gray” policy. Naturally I wanted a lens with US warranty but Nikon US had none. As usual, they were all over Hong Kong but not one in the USA. So I bought a USA one used/mint condition to get a lens that Nikon would service if necessary. Cosmetically, the lens was flawless but something was amiss so please disregard my previous review.

Lens #2 is quite good or great, depending on what you want it for. The photo I see most often is a field of flowers with the lens tilted. I don’t have much interest in tilting a 24mm lens but from what I see, its great for this and image quality should be super.

Nikon 300mm f/4.0D ED-IF AF-S Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras Price

I’m surprised that there are so few reviews for this lens.

I wanted a telephoto for years so I bought an old used manual focus Nikon 300mm f4 lens. I was able to get good sharp photographs when shooting outdoors in bright sunshine with the aperture closed down a few stops. But without the split prism focusing in less than very bright environments, I was never certain when I was in focus except by looking at the green dot in the viewfinder which is distracting while trying to keep your eye on a moving subject. Auto-focus is a must on a big telephoto.
