funkag Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 The vignetting on my 28mm f3.5 drives me a little crazy, so I'd like to pick up either a Nikkor-N 24mm f2.8 or Nikkor-S 35mm f2.8 lens. Ai'd or Non-Ai is fine. Single-coated, please. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Vignetting is fairly easily corrected for in a large number of photo editors (e.g., Adobe Camera Raw). Wide angles on "full frame" will have some vignetting as an inevitable consequence of how the light at the edges of the lens is 'funneled" into the lens in relation to the image plane.

funkag Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Thanks JDM - the Nikon 28mm tends toward hard vignetting (completely black corners) with a polarizer and/or its dedicated hood. I can get around it with a 52-77 step up ring and a big polarizer, but it makes the lens much less compact. I'm hoping to try one of the other two see if they are better. I like Nikon's early F designs and would like to stick to lenses introduced in the first couple of generations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mukul_dube Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I have a good Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 which sees little use. I cannot now figure out how to send e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
