Next PZ lens test report: Micro Nikkor AF-S DX 85mm f/3.5 G ED VR - mst - 06-08-2011 This is one of those lenses that look a bit boring on paper but are fun to use in the field. http://www.opticallimits.com/nikon--nikkor-aps-c-lens-tests/636-nikkorafsdx85vr -- Markus Next PZ lens test report: Micro Nikkor AF-S DX 85mm f/3.5 G ED VR - oppitronic - 06-08-2011 Many thanks for that review. I own this lens, and I love it! On a small DX you can do cool things with it: one handed makro shot, because a D5000 with AF-S 85 is light weight fast enough AF to follow flying objects used wide open as a "fast" tele lens Next PZ lens test report: Micro Nikkor AF-S DX 85mm f/3.5 G ED VR - Guest - 06-08-2011 [quote name='deroppi' timestamp='1307537015' post='9076'] Many thanks for that review.

A bit expensive though.... That third pic is like my wife giving me a hard time Next PZ lens test report: Micro Nikkor AF-S DX 85mm f/3.5 G ED VR - mst - 06-08-2011 Nice pics, oppi, the dragonfly is awesome. Also have some from my private collection to share. -- Markus Next PZ lens test report: Micro Nikkor AF-S DX 85mm f/3.5 G ED VR - oppitronic - 06-08-2011 [quote name='AAC7man' timestamp='1307556889' post='9077'] Nice pics The review does the lens credit, it has seemed a little oddball. A bit expensive though.... That third pic is like my wife giving me a hard time [/quote] Thanks. I don't think it is expensive (compared to the rest). It is considerably cheaper than the 105VR and still below the 60mm/2.8. So it is the cheapest makro lens you can get for the small DX cams without AF motor. The only other option I see here is the Tamron 90/2,8, which is nice for portrait as well.

And I have one to show that was taken with a 55-200VR and a Raynox 150, my ultimate low cost macro solution. It was much harder to shoot with that combination. Focus was only possible within a certain distance, a lot of light was needed, and picture composition was minimal, not to speak about the poor out of focus blur. But center sharpness was ok. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> The only advantage of using the 55-200VR and a Raynox 150 or 250 was that I could go beyond 1:1. |
