Sharp sharp sharp!

Pros Sharp and Contrasty
Cons Slow AF (but that really does not matter in a macro lens)
Recommended it? Yes

The nikon 200 mm f4 lens is probably the best macro lens that nikon offers. The lens offers the best subject to lens distance and allows you to work comfortably in applying fill flash to your subjects. Fill flash allows a nice even lighting of your subjects.

Awesome long macro lens

Pros Superb optical qualities, razor sharp, great contrast, beautiful color fidelity
Cons Front end heavy and rather long with attached lens hood and expensive.
Recommended it? Yes

I have used this lens for about 4 years, and under some tough shooting conditions. Most of my work involves very early morning insect and flower photography along with Autumn mushrooms. My results have always been superb. Most
of my work has been on a sturdy tripod and with a single

Nikon 17-35mm f/2.8 Must Be the Greatest Wide-Angle Lens!

bypaulphoto Feb 6, 2003
59 Helpfuls 60 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Superb optics, solid built, super-fast AF and super-quiet operation
Cons Expensive price tag may be the one and only objection in this lens
Recommended it? Yes

My first zoom lens in the extreme wide angle was the Nikon 20-35mm f/2.8D. For me, it was a dream lens. When I bought the 20-35mm lens, the 17-35mm zoom had already been introduced. At the time, I thought a difference of 3mm in focal length was not much. As the old saying goes, "Be content with the... Read full review »

8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros very well built and useful lens with fast aperture and great viewing angle
Cons heavy and not cheap, but we cant have everything
Recommended it? Yes

Each picture will turn out sharp and tightly focused... Read full review »
