This early digital era Nikkor lens strikes a great balance between vintage character and modern sharpness

Thanks Marco. I have a few of this vintage of Nikkor lenses, a 28 and 50 hence looking at an 85 to complete the trio. It seems like a good budget choice for around 120eur.

Glad it was helpful!

As a photojournalist I shot the 105mm f2.5. Later on I owned this 85mm f1.8 D lens. I adapted to its slightly wider FOV and that extra bit of light was perfect for my low-light, high ISO shooting.

@MarcoAries 9 месяцев назад

I guess it was also lighter and more nimble than the 105mm?

@coloradofotomatt 9 месяцев назад

@@MarcoAries Not necessarily lighter that I recall, anyway...and chunkier...but the focus was very smooth and at 1.8 made for a very bright viewfinder.

Hello! Thank you very much for the review. I want to buy this lense and your video helped me a lot. I have an old Nikon D5000 and because i am on a budget, i am thinking about buying a new lese, better than a new camera, because i just need a camera for documenting my artworks. I also want to start improving my photgraphies time after time, so i want to start investing in lease first. So my problem is that i am quiet confused about the difference between the AF and AF-S lense. They exist both. Is there a huge difference? Because the AF lense is quiet cheaper and i have no idea if it is worth to buy the AF-S lease better... i did not find any information or video on youtube about this. Can someone help?

I believe the difference is in the type of motor used. You can probably find more on the kenrockwell website, it basically a vault of all the information about Nikon

Is it hard to shoot this adapted manually to a Sony A7 series camera? On moving children?

@MarcoAries 9 месяцев назад

It's easy to adapt it and use it on an a7, but the moving children part depends on how fast you are at focusing manually 😉 I did find it precise and the short focus throw can help. It's mostly a matter a skill, though.
