Cons: Not very good at night (halos), marked barrel distortion
Opinion: I use a Nikon (native) version. It is much easier to use than the famed HE 44 because it has auto indexing. Manual focus is smooth and easy. A good allrounder lens, with less "character" than the HE 44 but less quirks too, and better color saturation. Barrel distortion is significant, but easily corrected in post processing. Overall, it is well worth the money.
The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Bokeh spiral, a classic of the series. Nikon Attack with infinite fire. Small to carry in your pocket. Price and character.
Cons:A lens with its limitations and distortions, deciding between shadows and lights a bit nervous.
Opinion:I do not see the limit completely manual, it is certainly not a slow-moving lens, but one of the ones with which the composite is sought, the light. It induces to reflect on what you are doing, selecting shots and adjustments. But it should always be like this Nikon Native native that allows you to have that vintage touch on the most popular brands, due to the higher drawer.rnMultiple detachment, hardness, character, for those shots that deserve it. A lens should always be there. We are not talking about a studio lens, detail and precision, to forget, even focusing on 100% fire has fringing and more with lights in the foreground. By contrast, it is well-behaved, it does not improve enormously by closing, in fact, it loses its special effects. If you want to give a vintage tone and spend 60 to 80 euros for about fifty you can stay. There are discreet lenses and other new handsets, those do not pay 35 euros. Compared to other manual and vintage lenses, it's very easy to use.
Cons:Manual focus a bit 'complicated but you just get used to it.
Opinion:I purchased it with a little 'uncertain over the network to a ridiculous figure. After a period of intermittent use I started getting good test better risultati.rnLa feel good lens, especially on APS-C. I am passionate about vintage lenses and Nikon mount me makes life easier. For this reason, the use of Nikon D90 with much satisfaction especially for portraits.
Opinion:I passed this lens by an old Kiev 18 on which did an excellent job, since I mounted the new Nikon D7000 from really the best, perfect for portraits with a very soft bokeh effect, becomes a little hard to find fire in the manual but if you get lost a few seconds longer gives a lot of satisfaction!
