My favorite lens is the Nikkor AF-S 58mm f\/1.4G<\/strong>. With very shallow depth-of-field, it can be hard to nail down focus, especially at long distances and in low light. However, it produces 3D-like images with beautiful bokeh and sharp results when focus is achieved. Although it is the largest Nikon normal lens, it actually fits on the Nikon D800 nicely, providing good balance for the camera-lens combination.<\/p>\n

It is truly a nifty fifty! I wish it was available when I was doing a lot of International travel from 2009 to 2013. In my travels, I’ve used the Nikkor 20mm f\/2.8 AI-s<\/strong>\u00a0or the Voigtlander 40mm f\/2<\/strong>\u00a0on the Nikon D200 to minimize bulk and weight. Manual focusing on the D200 and other DSLRs, unfortunately, is difficult to get sharp results because DSLRs are not equipped with split-image focusing screens for precise manual focus.\u00a0 In addition, on the APS-C (Advanced Photo System type-C) image sensor, the D200 gives me 1.5x cropped images, e.g., 30mm focal length equivalent on a 20mm lens.<\/p>\n

In addition to the above lenses, my favorite Nikon lenses – especially on the FX full-frame DSLRs such as\u00a0Nikon D810 and Nikon D4s\u00a0–\u00a0are…<\/p>\n
