Lens Selection
Next, let's talk about the camera selection problem. This is a very troublesome problem and a big problem that is plaguing everyone's nerves.
What should I consider when selecting a lens:
1. image quality;
2. Price;
3. Portability;
4. convenience.
Aside from opening 1 and 2, although some old birds look down on those friends who choose to zoom in the dog mirror, it is obviously a bit funny to go out on a tour with a pair of dingjiao lenses, in terms of selection, you must also make a transfer step toward portability and convenience. The convenience of the large zoom lens and the convenience of the plastic lens are also very important topics. Therefore, sales of AFS 24-120 VR and AFS 18-200 VR in the Nikon image system continued to decrease.
Image quality and price are always two conflicting friends. For the camera, the word "good quality and low price" is not suitable. Old birds who are pursuing image quality often have to succumb to the price. Before selecting a high-quality camera, if you are not a friend of public funds or large funds, consider the following questions:
1. Can your naked eye distinguish between barrel and pillow distortion;
2. Can you tell the differences between the 256 colors, 16 bits, and 32 bits on the laptop screen by the naked eye;
3. Whether your eyes can accurately detect spot and flare on the photos;
4. Can your naked eye distinguish the out-of-focal bilinear and non-circular dispersion circles;
5. Do you understand the four points mentioned above and use the SLR camera correctly.
If the answer is no, this option is simple. AFS 18-55 can help you easily take photos and spend less than 500 RMB.
Next, let's talk about some Nikon users worth choosing.
Zoom part
Ultra Wide ZOOM:
Sigma 10-20 disadvantage is that the quality is average, the distortion is large, the advantage is that the color is good, the angle is good, cheap, about 4 K
Tokina 11-16 disadvantage is light color, poor backlight, advantage is constant large aperture, good Distortion Control, solid workmanship, around 4 K
Tamron 10-24 new mirror, price performance unknown, worth looking forward
Nikon 12-24 colors, distortion are good, the disadvantage is a little poor, only dx, about 5 K
Nikon 14-24 This is a Super Wide Angle bull mirror. It is the benchmark of the Ultra Wide Angle zoom lens and FX lens. It is worth it. The disadvantage is that the price is around 12 K.
Ultra Wide-angle full-width lenses are difficult to choose from. Apart from Nikon 14-24 super wide shots, only Sigma 12-24 can be selected, but the performance of that camera is really not flattering.
Wide ZOOM:
Nikon 18-70 2 K or less, good color, normal Distortion
Nikon 18-200 5 K, large zoom ratio, balanced performance, but all aspects of control can only be considered normal
Nikon 18-35 5 K, silver wide angle, good head, in addition to a smaller aperture, other aspects of performance beyond the JIN Guang
Nikon 17-35 10 K, golden wide angle, Ox Head, wide angle invincible before n 14-24
Nikon 20-35 6 K, diamond wide angle, Ox head, is designed too old
Nikon 17-55 9 K, DX mirror king, Ox Head
Sigma 18-50, tamron 17-50, about 3 K, large aperture, high cost performance, the maximum aperture is almost unavailable, color, workmanship is slightly poor, but the overall quality is good
Nikon 16-85,5 K, new mirror, good performance
This focal segment is the full-width wide angle and DX standard focal segment. You can select a simple wide-angle lens for FX users, but DX users should choose the wide angle within the previous Focal segment, the DX user of this focal point should select the appropriate hanging standard conversion header.
Standard ZOOM:
Nikon 24-70 14 K, new mirror king, super Ox Head
Nikon 28-70 10 K, old mirror emperor, Ox Head, digital performance is slightly worse
Tamron 28-75/SIGMA 24-70 3 K, cost-effective choice of the deputy factory, applicable to all
Nikon 24-2.8, 4 K, said the-4, there is a macro, good old mirror
Nikon 24-120 4 K, good travel mirror, with VR is much better than without Vr
There are a lot of optional lenses for this focal segment, but it is recommended to select a 2.8 aperture lens. If you cannot afford the original factory, the deputy factory is also good.
Medium focal length:
Nikon 80-200 6 K, small steel gun, good shot
Nikon 70-200 13 K, Xiaozhu cannon, the king of this focal segment
Sigma 70-200 6 K, tiny black, good performance, slightly worse than Nikon, but not far away
Tamron 70-200 6 K, new head, good performance
Nikon 70-300 VR 3 K, small aperture, but lightweight and easy to use
Nikon 70-300, the choice of the poor, not recommended
If it is not particularly necessary, it is recommended that the 2.8 aperture lens, the factory can not be on the deputy factory, the aperture is too small, the focal length is not very easy to use, if the funds are really limited, consider VR's dog head.
Fixed focus:
Nikon's fixed focus ranges from 14-200, but more than are not commonly used.
14mm: only 2.8 yuan, price 10 K, excellent lens, but the lineage is not pure, may be tamron OEM, buy tamron can be 2 k cheaper, Sigma don't consider it
18mm, only supports 2.8, the price is 8 K, excellent lens, but the price is too expensive
20mm, only support 2.8, price 3-4 K, cost-effective choice, Sigma has a support of 1.8, it is also good
24mm, only supports 2.8, the price is more than 2 K, the cost-effectiveness of the choice, but the effect is really normal, if you do not need to focus on very tight segments, you can consider 20, Sigma has a 1.8, make up
28mm, 1.4 is the king, 12 K, good price, good performance, 2.8 that only 1.7 K, cost-effective choice
35mm, only two, in the early 2 K, not bad
50mm, 1.8 seems to be better than 1.4, not expensive, 700 and 1.7 K, but the out-of-focus is still 1.4 better
85mm, 1.4 is a super bull's head, like the King, 6 K, 1.8 is also good 2.5 k
105mm, with a dchead of 2, 6 K, portrait king
135mm, is also the DC header of 2, 7 K, is also the portrait king
180mm, there is a 2.8, more than 5 K, or portrait king
200mm, 2vr is too expensive, 30 K
Fixed focus is my favorite, but the design is relatively old, generally the product of the film era, Nikon has not had time to come out of digital Optimization of fixed Focus head, within 200MM only 200 2vr is, 50 of the AFS are only available this year and are not officially available yet.
Special part:
If there is no special need, you do not need to consider the fish eye, even if you think about it, also consider Nikon this fish eye king.
The special part is macro:
Nikon has 50, 105, 200, and, all of which are good.
Sigma has 50, 70, 105, 150, 180, and tamron has 90, 180, which is a good choice.
The above are some of the best options in the AF lens. However, as for the specific choice of users, we still need to look at our preferences. I am not responsible for this, but the value and performance of a single lens, there are also some rules.
1. pricing rules: the larger the lens size, the more the ED and non-spherical mirrors, the more the metal, and the higher the VR level, the more expensive the lens.
2. Distortion Law: the wider the wide-angle end, the more difficult the distortion control. For fixed focus, a non-spherical mirror is sufficient to correct the distortion. If it is Zoom, the more non-spherical mirrors, the better the distortion is.
3. color pattern: Use the Ed lens instead of the ordinary lens to obtain a better color. The more the Ed, the better the relative color.
4. Zoom pattern: the zoom ratio is not very good for lens imaging with a zoom ratio of more than 5 times. The original zoom ratio is about 3 times, and the constant aperture is 2.8.
5. Law of the secondary Factory: the lenses with the same parameters of the secondary factory are much cheaper than those of the original factory. However, apart from some excellent lenses, the lens of the secondary factory has problems such as maximum aperture meat, warm color reduction, and running focus. The camera and macro lens with a constant aperture of 2.8 at the factory are cost-effective.
