  1. <p>Hello,</p> <p>I'm looking to build a setup that is primarily designed around shooting long exposures at smaller apertures from f/11-f/22, and I'm hoping for some suggestions about which are best in that range. (Yes, the kit will include several quality ND filters, but depth of field is also useful in these shots.) This will be for full-frame, and I do shoot from wide angle to telephoto for these types of shots, so a range of focal lengths is appreciated!</p> <p>Given what I've found online so far, most lenses seem optimized around f/5.6; the best when stopped-down appear to be (by focal length):<br> 28mm: 28/1.8G<br> 35mm: 35/1.8G<br> 50mm: 50/1.8G<br> 85mm: 85/1.4G, followed by the 85/1.8D<br> The Sigma 105mm and 150mm macros look to be quite good across the board.<br> *sources from dxomark and photozone; lenses considered (mostly due to price range):<br> 35mm: out of 35/1.8G, 35/1.4G, 35/2D<br> 50mm: out of 50/1.4D, 50/1.4G, 50/1.8D, 50/1.8G<br> 85mm: out of 85/1.8G, 85/1.8D</p> <p>I would really like to see some data or recommendations about older manual focus lenses, as I already use these a lot, and can't find much in the way of quantitative data on them. Third party lenses are also great if they perform at these smaller apertures.<br> Info on wide angles would also be great, though I'm looking at the Nikon 17-35/2.8D due to the useful property of zooming when shooting wide angle, and having a filter thread.</p> <p>What I'm currently using:<br> Nikon 50/1.8D, Nikon 105/2.5 AIS, Nikon 200/4 AIS, on a D90.</p> <p>What I'm also looking at:<br> Nikon 24/2.8D, Nikon 300/5.6 AIS</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
