3 NEW Nikon Lenses: 8-15mm f3.5-4.5 FISHEYE, 28mm f1.4 and 10-20mm f4.5-5.6 DX VR 

Fro's shirts get tighter every upload

That 10-20 DX lens, as a student that likes photography as a hobby, I'm super excited about the lens. I know it won't be the best, but there were no wide angle lens that would fit in my budget until now, and I often find myself wanting something wider than that darned 18 mm.

Holy smokes! That 10-20 is gonna be my jam for real estate photos. My lights will make the 4.5-5.6 work.

All these three lenses are amazing in their own way! The MTF charts are fantastic!

Quick question!!! what about 11-16mm ? what kind of photo/video would it be good for?

Just got my 10-20 VR DX from Amazon. Nice! It's compact size is a perfect fit for my D5500. I had the other super wide DX zoom -- the one that costs a fortune and doesn't have VR or AF-P -- and I rarely used it. This new 10-20 is going to be a much more useful lens for me.

Thanks for talking about these! I'm interested in that 10-20mm so it's interesting to hear your perspective on it. Thanks for the info

great coverage Jared, thank you. This is the proof is totally worth full come here everyday and learn something. Either you a a amateur or a pro. Nice balance.

The 28 is FANTASTIC for daily use and for close up in door portrait.

I have a D5300, which is a crop sensor, so what will the focus be for the 10-20mm?

I have a Tamron 28-80 3.5-5.6 nikkon lens. What do you use that for?

I would love a 28 for wedding photography. 35 is a bit too long, 24 is a bit too wide. 28 is perfect as a documentary lens, and pairs well with an 85mm

I'm looking for a sharp, landscape/astrophoto lens but on a budget, as I'm only a student... Any suggestions?

Jared I have a great vid idea when the 8-15 comes out can you compare it to sigmas 8-16 700$ lens

Downloaded the app, liking it! Thanks

wow photography is really expensive.

i work in a camera shop and when people want a cheaper DX wide angle i always point them toward the Sigma 10-20mm which is a f3.5 continuous and people seem to really like it

vlogging on a 24mm prime is a good idea or someone have a better suggestion for me? would love to hear it. thanks!

I love that 10-20 lens!! amazing price and really excited to try it out 😊

Someone knows if this lens is any good for shooting DJ's (video) at (daytime) music festivals?

I am glad I went and got the Tokina 11-20 f2.8. I am a little disappointed that Nikon did not make that 10-20 faster. I wanted them to just update their already existing 10-24 lens and make it a straight 2.8 instead of the variable aperture 3.5-4.5. I'll be curious to see the DXOMark scores of this lens.

Personally, if Nikon had an affordable 18mm 1.4, I'd use it all the time! I love wide lenses though.

Hi Jared, I to like the sound of the 8-15mm lens, I would agree with you in that this is an special lens enabling so interesting effects. As far as the 28mm f1.4 I just think that they are finish off the range of f1.4 lenses to ensure that pro have the ability to use f1.4 across the range. The one lens that I am hopping to bye with in two mount is the 19mm pce with is another lens that you do not use every day. Love the video's and look forward to the next. So thank to you and your team. (Not Canadian)

so excited about the 10-18

Most serious shooters, pro or otherwise, understand that 24mm is not 28mm. It's not the difference of a few steps. As soon as people start with comments like that we know we're not dealing with a person who understands the differences of FOV, DOF, 1.4 vs. 1.8, etc. Though sometimes subtle, those differences add up. I'd MUCH rather have the 28mm 1.4 than a 24 or 35, but having all 3 gives far more artistic latitude. If you can't afford it, that's YOUR problem. Nikon will sell a LOT of the 28mm lenses if it tests well.

I'm also interested in the 10-20mm. Looking for a wide range and that's a great price.

the 1mm fisheye not sharp on recent Nikons? On a D5 maybe, but not on the D4s, D810 or D750.

Would you make a review on the 10-20mm f4.5-5.6 VR DX???

Yes I'm excited about 10-20 mm

I have a question about Nikon DX lenses. I know that it's not correlated to the video but thought I'd have posted it in latest one to get a response. If I have a DX lense mounted on a DX camera or sensor, do I still have to multiply the range by 1.5 or is the range written on the DX lense already real?

The 10-20 DX fits my bill. I hope it is very good.

I'm looking forward to the vault app coming out on Android

please do critiques mccritiquens on photos... it's been ages since I seen new ones...😃😃😃 I love watching your critiques...I learn a lot from them...😃

I am doing my fisheye footage with a GoPro and it's very expensive to get this fisheye for just a view scenes that I take from time to time. That's a real pro feature or if you have the money to play around! :)

The 10-20mm should be a great deal for this price and also probably would be better than the sigma 10-20. I was searching for this kind of lenses and finish buying the Tokina 11-20 f/2.8 which is great lens.

Am was using 10-20MM sigma F3.5 it is was so nice

I wouldn't necessarily worry about the 4.5-5.6 on the 10-20mm. I'm thinking of getting one for landscapes and occasional architecture. You'll be using f11 and a tripod for landscapes generally speaking so an f 2.8 wouldn't make sense in this instance. Obviously if you've got other uses in mind for an ultra wide then the f stop may be an issue.

What's the difference between AF-S and AF-P?

You also forgot about the 58mm f1.4G, Jesus Jared you're slipping!

Hey mate, It may have been a cool feature to picture each Lens you were talking about appear on the screen behind you as you spoke about them? Maybe a small comment but feedback is always healthy.

I shoot full-frame.... and if the 28mm f/1.4 fits someone's needs on full-frame, fine. However, for me it's one of those Nowheresville lenses. The 35mm focal length is the widest normal lens I use for portraits, glamor groups shots... and for landscapes the 24mm focal length is a narrow as I go with wide-angle... and when I want tighter shots to isolated a portion of a scene... I have my 35, 50, 85, 105 or 135mm lenses... or my 24-70, 70-200 or 120 to 300 zooms. About 85 percent of my landscape work is done with a 24mm or 20mm lens. I also have a 12mm fish-eye that I use every now and then as a specialty lens. The 28mm is a fine lens for a walk-around lens for someone shoot DX.

When are they being realzed

I think the concept of a 28mm is as an alternative way to create a set of primes. I'm personally working on an 85mm, 50mm, 35mm 24mm, 20mm set, but I could also see: 85,50,28,20 as a valid alternative. In this case the 28 can serve as a single substitute for 35 and 24.

they look and sound great, just think the the 1.4 is OPd

28 / 1.4 for night photography - seems to be a bit of a trend these day7s. But why pay that much when I can get (and I have) a 24 / 1.4 Samyang which works very nicely thank you.

I suspect the 28mm f1.4 is not there to address a market void but is a marketing tool nonetheless and probably utilizes a collection of surplus elements, moving out surplus element inventory off factory shelves out to the retailer, probably a very good lens. It is possible that it is offered to be a replacement compromise for the two lenses on either side of it, the 24mm and 35mm, in order to ultimately discontinue them and streamline the product array in light of a shrinking market base. After all, most camera owners probably will have a crop frame sensor and full frame sensor camera (that offers crop frame options) that redefine focal length and generate overlap focal length. The other two products are there to challenge the cell phone camera.

While the focal length differences between the 28mm and 24mm is marginal, the distortion differences between the 28mm and 24mm is quite noticeable, the 28mm has *far* less distortion therefor is better on faces, landscapes, architecture, etc. It's really for photographers who want that wide angle (but not ultra wide) feel but without the distortion. I personally owned the 28 1.8G and it seems to be correct, that lens had very little distortion but I just didn't find 28mm all that useful for what I shoot.

The W300 looks cool.

28 mm is a magic focal length. yes such thing exists. you'll know it when you see it. but most people will not

the 10-20 is priced to sell!

28 1.4.... street photography???? 28 is great for street, it would work nicely at night or in low light situations(Jared) 😂

I just got me the canon 10-18mm and now nikon announced almost the same...

The 10-20 is an AF-P "upgrade" with VR to the $800 10-24 but a stop slower.

I think that the 28mm 1.4 will be a excellent option for astrophotographers!

Honestly Nikon has to stop with the VR craze. Most of it is justified esp on the longer focal range lenses but clearly Nikon could've made a faster 10-20mm like 3.5-4.5 easily if they didn't add VR. You really don't need VR on a ultra wide lens, period. Tamron 10-24mm is a much better option for only $200 more.

You still forgot about the 58 1.4 ;) I personally don't think I would need a 28/1.4, but I like the idea of having a variety of lenses for every user. Now you have the 1.4-line that offers a lot of lenses for those who want certain focal lengths with best quality and maximum aperture, you have the 1.8-line for those who are into high-aperture prime lenses for less money, and there are the 2.8-zooms for those who want zooms. And of course you got all the kit lenses ans so on for those whoe don't want to spend to much money. Not everybody needs every lens, but I think it is good that there is an option for everybody who might have certain needs. This is why I personally appreciate lenses like this. The only problem to me is that the price scale seems to get out of control...

Jared, I have a Nikon D7200 with a 70-200 and a 24-70, and I am able to get really great pictures with what I have currently. I have been looking at a few Nikon Full frame cameras, and I am really considering purchasing one. do you think it would be worth upgrading to full frame at this point or not? What would be the biggest bang for your buck. ~thanks!

I'm a 15 y.o and I have a Nikon D7000 after my dad. I'm into B&W minimal long exposure photography as well as landscape and cityscape, so since D7000 is a stupid crop that 10 mm has been my dream for a long time 😍😍 still kinda expensive tho

I wish they would re make the 50 1.4

If the 28/1.4 is as sharp as the D810 requires, then it makes perfect sense, as their 24/1.4 and 35/1.4 are not sharp enough to take advantage of the 36 M Pixel sensor, even when stopped down. This is a nice all-around focal length for landscape, street, that is a good place to start updating their primes to ones with better than 12 to 20 M pixel resolution.

If I could only use one lens for Landscape it'd be a 70-200. I can always do panoramas if I need to go wider.

The 28mm 1.4 is to replace the tremendously expensive AF-D 28mm 1.4... Somehow they justified it enough to be charging thousands for it used!!

Finally a new pro 28, haven't watched the video yet but bet Jared doesn't understand the point of a 28, and didn't use the old legendary 28 1.4D

I don't know... the existing 10-24mm 3.5-4.5 DX was great! I know I never had any issues with mine and loved the images it produced. Quite a bit more $$$ and minus the VR though. If they hit the same optical goodness at half the price... then good for Nikon!

A 28mm 1.4 is a perfect tight quarters, smaller venue, indoor events lens - you couldn't design a better lens for this type of venue.

I'm not big on fish eye like you said it has a time and a place

Can a fish eye be flattened out with profiles for wider real estate photography or is that just crazy? I have a 14mm on my d750 but I swear people want even wider!

Nikon needs to update their 50 1.4, possibly with nano coat, better flare resistance, and sharpness....

28mm would probably be used for video. I would say it's not best for landscape, could be good for astro.

something moves in your head, We will never know what it is

imo full frame 28mm is the perfect lens for small group portraiture , 10/15 people standing at 10 feet , my absolute for this application

that fisheye is pretty expensive for something you wont use very often. but if the return on investment can be realized in just a couple of uses i say go for it. i personally will wait until someone else has purchased it and realizes they wasted their money and needs to recoup some of it on the used market. Balling On A Budget Baby!!!

28mm is the usual smart phone field of view. It's actually a beautiful street lens, and the 1.4 is actually useful too. I personally hate 24 mm as it's so boring but 28 is somehow more magical.

John free said he shoots 28mm for Street.

i trully think this 28mm with great bokeh work perfect with the new 105mm 1.4. would be great that the 200mm 2.0 got half the price, would be the new trinity for who love just prime lens, with amazing charts and bokeh. in bokeh the 200 is the best of the best. just hope this new 28mm can be compared to the 105. and if u want 3 lens prime, that will be your trinity prime lens.

Probably one of the only really good reasons I can see them doing a fisheye now is that that they've been way behind in the 360° virtual tour photography scene. Canon, Sigma and Samyang have all had great lenses for this purpose and with the 2 after market providers, they've held the market on Nikon mount for that niche. It's pretty damn late to come to the party on this one especially when the really big push in spherical photography has gone towards one-shot alternatives (not that any of them are really high res performers to the same degree as dslr mounted lenses). If your reason to buy the 8-15 is for that kind of work AND you shoot Nikon, it may be of interest. Otherwise, it's just another demonstration that Nikon's innovation timelines are nowhere close to the competition. Nothing against them as a core product and company - but seriously - late to the game.

28mm 1.4....yah...i think.just trying to fill an odd niche because of to much competition

I'm getting the 28mm for my D5600 definitely! Why? Because it is 43mm on aps-c. Which is what? A match to the human eye FOV, baby ;) Yeah )

Do you think Fish Eye lenses should be in anyone's arsenal in terms of events or weddings?

The 10-20 DX is a punch in the face for every D500 owner who wanted a professional ultra-wide from Nikon.

Another review where unless you have the multi zero bank account for all the high end gear you are not worthy of air time. Most people who use DX are I bet people who like the idea of more serious photography but gear prices make them gasp. They are in that hazy grey area between camera phone and serious gear acquirer. Why bother mention DX gear at all as the users are not real photographers I hear you say Mr Polin but sadly in the real world thousands of DX cameras are used by people like myself as an affordable option of decent photographs on a motorcycle Tour somewhere in the world or a memorable day out at a Motorcycle race meeting or many other times I have encountered a DX user. I also use FX cameras for some of my work but what I would never do is look down my nose at a product. I am sure a number of viewers to this video will have come looking for information on a new product. They left perhaps a little more clued up but am sure they won,t be back for fear of humiliation or ridicule just because they don,t have or can not afford the high end. In a world where everyone but everyone whips their phone out in a few seconds to capture an image don,t alienate the causal DSLR user who is willing to take a small step into the world of DSLR and when they come looking for a bit of info and guidance think about who the person watching might be.

I bet they couldn't do a F4 fisheye ecause they are using that ancient Mount. should of switched like Canon did back in 80s.

Why would one need a 28/1.4, that's an easy one, I've shot one exclusively for years: www.flickr.com/photos/f_lynx/tags/afnikkor2814d/ Would buy it just for the ability to grab the focusing ring at any time and manually tweak the focus. ...and comparing to the old 28/1.4D that I have it's a bargain ;)

Great lenses they I will never be able to afford... 😔

$2000 for a 28???????? WHY?

Still no 10mm f/4 Aspherical...

Barley?

The 28mm f/1.4 will be a great lens for the people who want something wider then 35, but a bit further in then a 24. Comment if you're one of those people!

Hard to justify >$1900 for a lens UNLESS you are making a living out of your photography or if you have deep pockets. If I were making $2-3000 for a wedding shoot and were doing 1 such shotting per week then MAYBE I could justify the cost but otherwise the Nikon 10-20mm DX VR for a cropped sensor Nikon is really the better deal for those who do photography as a hobby.

I need gear vault for Android

58 mm 1.4

seems that everyone is very keen on the 10-20mm. It has been designed with the lowest standards. I expected nikon to release a upgrade for the 10 year old 10-24mm. Specially now that tamron has beaten them in their own game with their 10-24 vr release. It seems that nikon is steering the dx line towards low-end amatures and beginners. I cant really remember when it was the last time that nikon released a DX lens for high-end dx users. So what is wrong with this lens. 72mm (filter issues), fully plastic, lowest level of weather sealing, no distance meter, no vr or focus switch. With that in mind i can only imagin what the lens performance are with respect to flare, contrast, distortion, colours etc. Probably this lens will only score on sharpness. Resell value will be 100 bucks. For 350 you can get a pre-owned tokina 11-16 and for 500 you can get a fantastic tamron 10-24mm. Put your money there people.

Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR $300 OR Tokina 12-24mm f/4 AT-X 124 AF Pro DX $250 OR Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM Autofocus $400

Yes, why can't or why won't Nikon give us zoom lenses with fixed apertures!

28 1.4 Astrophotography...

Zooms are like McDonalds, convenient and potentially satisfying when you need them, but always built with more compromises and sample variation - lens rentals has proved this. The are not the same as primes = fine dining.

Ayeeeee

16mm f/2.8 not sharp on new high mp cameras???? WTF???? r u serious??? The only reasonable explanation for that is that you have a lemon copy! This 1993 rectangular fisheye lens is no less than superb and needs no replacement!!!

is that ur real hair on head

Will you send me camera?
