I buy and sell Nikon stuff to pay for my hobby and here's the 12 lenses I've ended up with. Where there's a great cheap lens, I have it.
Relates to my video about the best camera to buy as a beginner and the problem with Nikon D3xxx and D5xxx bodies.
Mentioned here are some great lenses. You can find them on eBay by searching these phrases:
- For the big f2.8 zoom there are many versions over the years. The one I have that is mentioned here is the "twin ring" Nikon f2.8, specifically the AF Nikon 80-200 f2.8 D
- For the smaller f4 zoom that I say is a great substitute it's a little harder to find in the noise, but it's the Nikon 70-210 f4 AF. When searching for that you might get results that are the newest Nikon f4, but also lots more.. Here's my blog post about it that will help identify it better visually: blur.bz/keith-...
- I then talked about the Nikon 28-105 f3.5-4.5 D which is a decent macro lens if that's all you have. I've since sold this as I really found I didn't use it. Still - it's a decent lens but for me it's competing against some REALLY good lenses that I own.
- Then i talked about the Nikon 35-70mm f2.8. This is pretty easy to find if you just search "Nikon 35-70mm f2.8" and you'll find some D and non D versions. The D version has the same optics except for the D has a coating that makes it better with flair.
- After that the Nikon 18-35mm f3.5-f4.5 G. This is in the current Nikon line up.
- The manual focus lens I then talked about was the "Nikon 20mm f4 AIS"
- Next up Nikon 85mm f1.8 G from the current line. I find it definitely better than the older 85mm f1.8 D
- 50mm f1.8 G.
- Moving to Macro "Nikon 60mm f2.8 D" and I expained that I prefer that to the newer 60mm G
- The Tokina 100mm f2.8 Macro lens is becoming more popular. it's great.
- I mention the quirky 600mm mirror lens, and they are all much of a muchness. Just search Nikon Mirror lenses and you'll find a bunch of 500mm and 600mm f8 lenses.
