Customer Review: Great lens for little money!
I think this is great lens for the money .... buy! It is only $ 40! Seems to be of better quality than the Nikon lenses. Made with pride! Buy it!
Customer Review: Great lens for the $ $
I own a Nikon D40 and wanted a telephoto lens. i dont make more than $ 300 for a high quality lens, so that when I feel it is below 50 U.S. dollars I bought it immediately. it doesn't have the VR stabalizer as some of the pricier lenses, no autofocus, but it isn't very difficult to make a lens on your own. and you can teach yourself to protect your hands steady, if pictures. so all in all 50 U.S. Dollar for a 210mm lens was worth it in my opinion.

beautiful pictures
I love this lens! It takes beautiful wide angle "fish-eye" images. It is amazing how "wide" of an image can produce. I have it on the World War II Memorial in Washington, DC, and it was absolutely beautiful pictures. If you opt for a large fish-eye lens - that is, and the price is just right!
I have the supplies and had driven it the next day. Great service!
Disappointing
I have this lens so I could some fisheye sunset / landscape shots, but the poor quality of the glass makes me wish I had not. All recordings, including the sun reflect (no pun intended) the low quality of the glass (speckles, etc.). Yes, I cleaned. Yes, I use the caps on until I am ready to use them. For the first time in the field, I was so disappointed, I did not put it back on my camera yet. I guess it's decent for indoor shots, but you need lots of light.

Wide-Angle Nikkor Lens for Nikon 35mm Digital SLR Camera

Nikon 35mm f/2D AF Wide-Angle Nikkor Lens for Nikon 35mm and Digital SLR Cameras
35mm D-Series Wideangle lens for Nikon cameras
Consumer built with great optics
I have this excellent optics, the need for a fast lens that is less than the major 17-55. The 35 f2 fits the bill. The construction is good but not up to pro standards, the optical performance. This is a very sharp, light lens with a very fast maximum aperture F2.
The only thing is that you have to zoom with your feet a few steps forward or backward in most cases equal to a much more expensive zoom. For this trade-off, you get a little sharper, quicker, easier solution. Great for travel. Leave it on most of the time.
This lens focuses very close for a non-macro enables stunning shots with beautiful flowers Bokeh. I also use it together with my 85 F1.4 for portrait shots. They are very close, but this is a special perspective. It has a wonderful color and very contrasty. I would be slightly less than the 85 F1.4, but it is one third of the price.
The only drawback is that it is an AFD lens and autofocus with the D40, D40x, or D60, but is very fast on a D80 or D300. One head is that if you decide to FX (full frame) digital photography, the lens is beautiful.
To summarize, the 35 Nikon F2 is a real bargain, especially for those of us who prefer the first-class quality of prime lenses.
Definitely a 5-star lens!
Easy, quick, sharp, and as far as I'm on the perfect focal length.
I started with 50mm primes, but quickly tired of how tight they are indoors. All my shots were head and shoulder shots, and forget about trying, two or three people in the recording, without them all to "squeeze all together now" shot. This is real old, real fast.
Let me emphasize that:
This lens has a much better field of view at normal shooting distance (the distance you normally stand by your subject).
This is often overlooked, but believe me, backing up 15 feet in the quantity or a house to make your recording is boring at best and often impossible. It is usually easier to move in the direction of your subject a little (or crop photos later), when it comes to backing up, especially while looking in the viewfinder. I know it is not entirely fair to evaluate other equally sharp, quality lenses differently, based solely on the focal length, but it is my opinion that the lens (with focal length around 52mm equivalent) is by far the most important in the greatest number of situations.
I also fixated on large openings, but have since realized that the most recordings in the real world is not less than f / 2 anyway. This lens is sharp as anything out there and is great in low light conditions. Yes, I know, f / 2 is not nearly as good in low light conditions as the other super lenses there (I know because I have a 50mm f/1.2), but it is good enough for most shots, and below f / 2 Depth of Field will be difficult anyway, and not as useful.
Finally, some people do not like the plasticy feel of new lenses, but I love her. They are so much lighter and silky smooth. I have enough hard rubber, Brassed-up, old, metal-lenses in my time to know there's nothing magical about all-metal building will be. So for me it is just another improvement, the modern works like a charm.
Most that I have seen, tend to sell online + 90% of full value, so even if you do not like something, the risk in buying and trying is very low.

Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR Zoom Nikkor Lens

Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR [Vibration Reduction] Zoom Nikkor Lens + Hoya 52mm UV Haze Protector Glass Filter + CapKeeper Lens Cap Strap + 6-Piece Cleaning Kit - for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras including Nikon D40, D40x, D50, D70, D70s, D80, D100, D200 & D300
Nikkor 55-200, Great all around lens!
This is the perfect lens for everyday use. You can get up close and personal or step back and great some decent distant shots without having to switch lenses. I do professional photography for the sport of paintball and when I'm covering large events and I'm deep in the woods, I cannot just carry a huge backpack with all my lenses, so I just put the 55-200 on and I can get all the shots I need without losing clarity or missing "the shot" while changing a lens. The added bonus of VR technology makes getting the dramatic shots that much easier. The cleaning kit and filter complete a great package for a great price.
Excellent Addition to a Great Camera
I ordered this lens after many 5* reviews and I am glad that I did. The lens was shipped and received VERY quickly and in mint condition. The added accessories with this lens are a welcome bonus since the cost of this lens by itself in stores is more than this kit (And I didn't have to pay tax or shipping!.) I am VERY new to DSLR photography so all of the extras are a big help!

Best Nikon 60mm f/2.8D AF Micro-Nikkor Lens

Nikon 60mm f/2.8D AF Micro-Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Nikon is a precision optical company with worldwide manufacturing, research and marketing capabilities. The Nikon name is equated with extraordinary photographic performance, innovation, precision and optical quality.PRODUCT FEATURES:Medium telephoto Micro lens for portrait and other high magnification close-up applications;Provides extra working distance for elusive subjects or ones requiring supplemental illumination;Continuous focusing from infinity to life-size (1:1).
The Best $360 I Ever Spent On Photography
This is by far my favorite lens. In several reviews you'll see that people have said it's great for portraiture. In my opinion, it's great for everything. Even though this is not a zooming lens, I find that I use it more than any other lens in my bag. It's that flexible. The bokeh that it renders is wonderful. However, the most important thing to me is how sharp this lens is. It is absolutely tack sharp. Many people have said that it is one of the sharpest lenses Nikon has ever made. You will not be disappointed. The one issue with this lens is that you need to get very close to your subject if you're doing 1:1 macro work. Like others here have noted, that makes it pretty difficult to use for insect photography. However, that is a known limitation of a lens with a focal length of 60mm... If you want to get away from your subject a bit, you might want to consider the 105mm Micro Nikkor (which I'm sure is just as sharp as this one). If you own the Nikon D40, D40x, or D60, you will have to manually focus with this lens. I have the D40, and that's no problem for me. You can buy the AF-S version of this lens, but it will cost you extra, and for someone like me, it's not worth it. The focusing ring is very nice with this lens. It's well weighted, and doesn't feel flimsy (Nikon put extra effort into this focusing ring, because this is a macro lens, and you need to manually focus when you're doing macro work).
Overall: I HIGHLY recommend this lens to ANYONE with a Nikon camera. You will not be disappointed with its performance one bit, and the macro capability might open some new doors for your photography.
By the way, at the time of my writing of this review, the current price for this lens is $549, sold by "Wall Street Photo" (a crummy 3rd part seller on amazon) - DON'T BUY IT AT THAT PRICE. I say this for 2 reasons:
1.) You can buy the AF-S version of this lens for even less than that
2.) You can buy this lens for about $399 from a reputable dealer like B&H Photo Video
To me, the lens is actually worth $549 (in other words, it's priceless to me), but it's pointless spending that much when you don't have to.
Best Glass Nikon Makes
An excellent portriat lens, tack sharp. A little to close for macro if shooting insects, small reptiles etc. With static objects it can not be beat. Been using mine for several years and never been disappointed.

Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Macro Lens

A maximum magnification of 1:3, making it ideal for close-up photography.
Customer Review: Fabulous lens if not for the front-focus and random overexposure problems...
I purchased this lens in spite of the possibility of receiving one of the "faulty" lenses I'd read about in other reviews. Unfortunately I seem to have bad luck.
I kept the lens for nearly a month, hoping it was my camera (I have a Nikon D40) but I tried it on a Nikon D200 and got the same disappointing results. If one were to merely glance at the photos, they would probably not notice anything wrong. But as I looked closely at almost every picture with a narrow depth of field (pictures taken wide open at f/2.8) the area in focus was just in front of the area that should have been in focus (in a portrait, the tip of the nose would be perfectly sharp but the eyes would be a little soft and blurry).
The other frustrating malfunction was a tendency to randomly grossly overexpose. This also occurred only when the lens was wide open.
Otherwise, this would have been an awesome lens and I'm sorry that it had these problems. I still managed to take some great pictures but it required that I compensate on every shot for the front-focus problem. Total bummer.
I finally decided to just return the lens today. I think I might try Tamron's version, or just purchase the Sigma lens in a local shop so that I can try it out first.
Customer Review: Issue with connectivity
I liked the photos I took with this lens. THe macro is just fantastic. After a week I started having problems when the camera would not fire and the display would show F-- . The lens metal connectors were not sitting right on the camera connectors. It had to be twisted a little to connect with the camera body connectors otherwise it would not fire. I returned it to Amazon.
Just to make sure I have no faulty camera body I tried the original Nikon lens and it works perfect.
PS: I used this on a Nikon D50
