    Testing lenses

    in Nikon

    Posted

    Some test homepages you will find under for different Nikon - and you will see testing is different made.

    I recommend: take it and decide first: how if the feeling, handling for you :lens + camera? How is AF speed - different distances fast change ... ? How is the image quality: take a base lens with similar focal length, make shots with the base lens and the candidate: open and closed & nearest focal length and infinity! Take a shot against a bright light to see ghost and flare! By the way the 50/1.8 AIS E is the base lens for me in the focal length of about 35 ... 80.

     

    However, the image quality stands not in front of the camera - its the creativityof the photograph.

    Small and light weight: Sigma 24-50

    Dear all, just a hobby: permanently I am looking for lenses: optical performance/(size*weight) is maximized for

    my D300. Now I found the Sigma 24-50 UC. Not a fast lens, but wondering how good the resolution is. I made a test

    against newest Nikkor 16-85 VR at 5.6. See http://joergvetter.oyla.de/cgi-bin/hpm_homepage.cgi . Ghost/flare

    resistance seems to be acceptable (A 5.6). The AF is quite fast. Does anybody has a manual or test reports from

    that lens? Any other advice for "minimized" lenses for D300 ? Thanks BR Joerg<div>00V3rl-192795584.jpg.c45d311670631dd4011c75fc8190b8e7.jpg</div>

    Sigma 50-200HSM OS and Nikon 55-200 VR

    Dear all, meanwhile I made a test : Nikon D300. The performance was wonderful for the price. MF works well, OS is OK, optical quality at 50 and 200 is wonderful. COLOR FOTO 10/2009 made a test at Canon EOS 450D.They found a weak point at 100 mm , otherwise they recommend it for digital cameras 79 points from 100, 3.5% over average performance.

    Mark , now I made a test a wide spread test at 50 mm/70mm/200 mm with the Sigama 50-200 (Nikon D300): other lenses:

    Nikon 16-85 DX, 70-210, 4-5.6 D, 35-70,2.8D. What a wonder the Sigama stands excellent in all cases:

    both in the center, the boder CA is low too (not alwayws number one but it works well). I recommend to take it! BR Joerg

    Mark, the problem of DSLR is in addition: the lenses show different behaviour at different bodies: D40 ... D300 to D5000 (dont ask me why that is cuasedin the different cases). If we have one test it might be not representative for all bodies, thats why I am asking for practical tests. Of course a lot of experts in the internet ... .

    Dear PN friends, does anyone has experience with the Sigma 50-200 HSM OS versus Nikon 55-200 VR ? Or does someone

    know a link? My own preleminary test shots with D300 in a photoshop showed a good performance in addition:the MF

    handling works better than the Nikon 55-200 VR, it has a metallic bajonet, the lens hood is simple to mount.

    Thanks Joerg

    Close up for 50/1.8 E

    Dear all, thanks a lot: two alternatives AI, AIS macro lens or extension tube. I love the pancake 50/1.8 E and will have a look at a close up lense - its so small alltogether, and so easy to handle without a lens change - yes its not the cheapest solution (achromtic) but the smallest size.

    Close up for 50/1.8 E

    in Nikon

    Dear all, its a surprising statement for me. I got a series E 50/1.8. The test at D300 in comparision to: Sigma 50/2.8

    EX, Nikkor 35-70/2,8 D, Nikkor 18-55 VR, Nikkor 50/1.4 AI showed that the lens is quit good starting with 2. At 5.6

    its still in the center and the corners concerning contrast and sharpness better than the others - the Sigma has a

    high sharpness also at the corners but a lower contrast, the 35-70/2.8D has a perfect corner sharpness and contrast,

    burt the sharpness at the center is not as good as that of the 50/1.8 E. My 50/1.4 AI might have some problems: its

    not better than the 50/1.8 at all values - at 1.4 its realy not usable. The 18-55VR is the loser (but a great travel

    lens !). The disadvantage is the bad "macro" of teh 50/1.8. Does anyone knows what the best close up lenses are for

    that 50/1.8 ? I am lokking now everytime for lenses combining small size with high performance. Any

    recommendation is welcome: lower than 50 mm . BR and thanks. Joerg Vetter

    Ultron40 or Nokton35 or simple Nikon35/2

    Posted

    Dear all, I am looking for a standard lens (effective at D300 ca. 55+/-10mm). The quality has to be the same like 35-

    70/2.8 D (I use it now). Whats about the Voigtlander Ultron 40 or Nokton 35/1.4 - or is Tokina 35/2.8 macro of

    interest - or is the Nikon 35/2 AF the optimal ? Might be also interesting to look for 28 mm and 30 mm . Small size

    zooms are also a possibility ? Thanks BR Joerg
