Questions & Answers

Nikon's 50mm f/1 lens. 8g vs. Nikon's 50mm f/1 lens. 4g. Which one are you talking about?

Get the number one. 8 and then buy the 35 1 with the difference. 8g dx

Could you elaborate on the advantages of the 50mm F 1 lens? 8 vs. F 1. 85 mm 8 for portrait photography, the majority of which will be done on a D7100 at home. ?

Although either lens is suitable for portraiture, I prefer to keep portraits to a maximum of 50-70 seconds. So on my aps- I've got a 85mm lens. With a c sensor body, I only had one option: an fx lens on a dx body with a focal length of 1. 5 times the rating On a D7100, a 50mm lens is equivalent to a 75mm, and an 85mm lens is equivalent to a 127mm. rmm lens. As a result, I went with the 50mm F1 lens. 8 lens. It has nice bokeh, and because the portrait image isn't too long, it still has some depth and isn't flattened.

Is autofocus possible with a 50mm f/1 lens? 8G AF- Is there a S Nikkor lens for the D3200?

Yes, the auto-pilot is on. It is possible to concentrate on something. Keep in mind, though, that this is a FX lens. It will be recognized as a 75mm lens by your DX D3200 camera, not a 50mm lens.

Does the D5300 have autofocus?

My camera is a Nikon D5100. I'm assuming it'll be primarily focused on the d5300.

For the money, this is a great deal
5/5

I bought it locally because I wanted to take it to my niece's son's third birthday party. Today is the day of the party. I bought it the other day! So far, I'm very pleased with the image quality of this lens on my Nikon D7100. The first impression is that the performance and build quality are excellent.

This was my first lens, and it was one of the best for the money
5/5

When you're just getting started, this is pretty much the best lens you can get for the money. This is a lens that I still use today. It has a razor-sharp edge to it and moves at a breakneck speed. It creates a very creamy bokeh effect. This lens, like most Nikon lenses, is well-made and produces a razor-sharp image. You'll be tempted to shoot at 1 at first. Every shot has an 8 in it. In low-light situations, this is fantastic. Overall, I can't think of a more reasonably priced vs. high-quality lens for beginners, let alone veterans. This is a lens that I strongly recommend. Superb!.

Despite the fact that I have loved photography since I was a child
5/5

The reviewers may appear to be professionals (or semi-professionals). Photographers who are professionals. To begin, let me state unequivocally that this isn't me. Despite the fact that I've loved photography since I was a child, I've only been shooting with a DSLR for a few years and had never shot with a SLR before. As a result, I'd never consider myself anything more than a casual (but frequent) photographer's product buyer. In fact, I bought this lens to finish a class and improve my photography skills with my children (my almost exclusive targets). )br>br>I cannot praise this lens highly enough. While I won't insult your intelligence by claiming that using this lens will never result in a bad photo, I do believe that using it has greatly improved my photography, especially when photographing my family. I like the look that this lens gives my photos because it allows me to quickly make adjustments that allow for varying degrees of focus. I really like the "softness" I can get with this lens, and I think it looks great in my photos of my kids. In fact, whether it's more formal posed photos or (my personal favorite) more candid shots, this has become my "go to" lens for photographing my family. I ADORE, ADORE, ADORE THIS LENS!.

This is a lens that everyone needs! I needed a reliable, multi-purpose camera as a beginner photographer
5/5

I wanted to use a lens that would give me blurry backgrounds and the much-desired "bokeh" effect, and that's exactly what I got with this one! My photographs are crisper and more detailed than I could have imagined. This lens would be a great addition to anyone's lens collection who is new to DSLR photography. I use this lens with a Nikon d3300 camera as a side note.

Bokeh is a word that comes to mind when I think of photography
5/5

After graduating from graduate school, I received a Nikon d3500 as a gift and began taking pictures right away. As much as I enjoyed the results I was getting with the included lenses (SAMs Club value pack), I wasn't happy with the bokeh I was getting from the 4. Those lenses have an aperture of 8 (they're very adaptable). After doing some research, I discovered that this lens was supposed to be the best value for the money. I've only had the lens for about 45 minutes, but I've already used it to photograph my oldest daughter's 5th grade graduation, and the results are fantastic. So good, in fact, that my wife, who has reservations about the whole thing, complimented me on how nice the photos are. I'm not a pro, so I can't comment on the lens's performance in that regard, but I can tell you that if you want great-looking, smooth bokeh, this lens will deliver.

Very good price - sharp! This is being used on a DX camera body, primarily for outdoor use (35mm DX f/1
5/5

The number 8 is better for indoors). br>br>For me, this lens is equivalent to a 75mm lens. Due to the fact that it is an FX lens, it does not have any edge artifacts. This is a razor-sharp device. The f/1. According to many of the reviews on this site, the f/1. I do not regret purchasing this lens because it does not offer enough benefits to justify the price. br>br>Extremely good value for something I'll be able to keep as I upgrade in the future.

This is fantastic
5/5

I'm still learning how to use this lens, but. This is fantastic. I'm still learning how to use this lens, but one tip I can give to those who are shooting portraits with a prime lens that opens this wide for the first time is that not everything needs to be shot at the highest stop of (1. 8). If you shoot at it, you'll notice that only a small portion of the image is sharp and in focus. The best time to take a portrait with this lens is between 2 and 3 p. m. 8 - 5 If you stand at least an arm's length away, instead of just the eyes, you'll get the entire face sharp.

I bought this lens to go with my D700 and it's fantastic
5/5

I bought this lens to go with my D700 and it's fantastic. Even in low light, the images are crystal clear, bright, and vivid. For Nikon FX owners, this is a must-have item.
