<p>Hi<br>

I am using 50 mm lens with my D 7000. Thinking of adding a tele lens. Which will be a better choice – prime 180 ( f2.8), 70-300 vr, or 70-200 f4? I have used 70-200 ( f2.8) once on rent and couldn’t use it much as it is so big and heavy. It is for general purpose like events, birds etc. I have read that 70-300 is good till 200 only, is it so? </p>

<p>Thanks all. The Indian Nikon site has only AF DC-Nikkor 135mm f/2D. However, I could see Nikon 135mm f/2.8 Nikkor AI-S in some other sites. So I thought the f 2.8 one is not in market</p>

<p>Nikkor 135 f 2.8 manual focus available? </p>

<p>Thanks all. Hope this one is better than 70-200 f 4?</p>

<p>What is the difference Michael? </p>

<p>Thanks all for important information. Generally I take portraits and general stuff using my 50mm 1.4. Occasional wildlife when I cross the highway through the forest. My question on 80-200 is if it is of an earlier version and parts are not available, why Nikon India still selling it? See the link below:<br>

<p>Thanks Ilkka. For candid portraits and wildlife?</p>

<p>Is any version of AF-S 80-200mm f/2.8 has VR? I am using D 7000. SHall I go for this one or 70-300? </p>

<p>Thank you all. I think most of you suggest 85mm 1.8 ( 85mm 1.4 is better but expensive.)</p>

<p>Thanks all for valuable suggestions. What about 85mm 1.4 D? Is it still available? Is it work with DX like d7000? </p>

<p>Just checked Nikon Web site, they mentioned “beautiful blur effect” only 50mm 1.4 and 85mm 1.4J</p>

<p>Thanks all. I found 35mm is the only lens I have right now. Which one, 85 1.8G or 50 1.4G, has better bokeh? I read gud reviews about 85mm1.4 but too expensive for me. I do like 35mm but not great for portraits.</p>

 

<p>Thanks Mat.</p>

<p>Hi<br>

I am Anil from India. I am looking for portrait lens to compliment my 35 1.8 G on D7000. Shall I go for 50mm 1.4G or 85mm 1.8 G. Price is almost same here in India. Please suggest. Thanks in advance.</p>

 

<p>Do Nikon 70-300mm f/4-5.6G AF Telephoto Zoom and Nikkor AF-S 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR lenses work on D5100?</p>

<p>Any suggestions about tokina 16-50 (2.8)</p>

<p>thanks all for your suggetions.<br>

Nish, the link you provided worries me about Tamron 17-50 . here i don't have any options for exchange etc.:)</p>

<p>Thanks all. So shall I need to keep 50 ( 1.8) in case am getting 17-50 n0n-VC version?</p>

<p>I am planning to buy Tamron 17-50 ( 2.8) for my D7000. Which version shall I buy? Also , at 50mm is it as good as Nikon 50 (1.8)?</p>

<p>Peter and Eric<br>

If it is 17/18 - 50 /55, which one shall i get, Sigma / Tamron/ Tokina ? all of them have multiple versins in 2.8 . </p>

<p>Thanks for the responses. Was thinking about Tamron 28-75 as I didn't find good reviews about sigma and Tamron 17- 50 ( 2.8). I am not sure whether i will be able to get good copy of Tamron 28-75 in shops here in Delhi ( Not sure I will able to test it that quickly) . What about Tokina 11- 16 and Nikon 35mm combo?<br>

Wouter, yes right now I have only 50 mm 1.8.</p>

<p>Hi<br>

I mean IQ, sharpnes, color and bokeh etc.</p>

<p>I am using Nikon 50 mm 1.8 with my D 7000. I am thinking of getting something wider. Shall I go for Nikon 35 1.8 or any 3rd party standard zooms 17 -50 ( 2.8) or tamron 28-75? Can tamron 28-75 give same results as 50 and 35 primes?</p>

 

<p>Thanks. Another question is about auto focus. 50 1.8 is AF not AF S. What is the advantage of AF S lenses? Is this difference matter with D 7000?
