Nikon 24-70 mm vs. 18-200 mm vs. 50 mm – Nikon D300

August 17, 2009

Cateva detalii despre test:

  • toate obiectivele au fost montate pe aceeasi camera (D300), pe acelasi trepied (in aceeasi pozitie);
  • intervalul de fotografiere a tuturor imaginilor a fost de maxim 10 minute, pe o vreme stabila;
  • toate obiectivele au avut filtre montate, respectiv: Hoya Protector HD 77mm pe 24-70mm, Hoya UV 72mm pe Nikon 18-200mm, Kenko UV MC 52mm pe Nikon 50mm;
  • datorita dimensiunilor obiectivului de 50mm si relativitatii testului, desi s-a respectat exact distanta focala, fotografiile obtinute cu 50mm sunt un pic mai apropiate.


Concluzia testului:
Castigatorul este in mod evident Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8, 50mm f/1.8 depasindu-l (discutabil) doar la f/8 si doar in centrul imaginii (poate si datorita imaginii un pic mai apropiate). Pe colturi 24-70 e parca din alta lume!


General impressions about the lens and for what cameras I think it’s suited, please check the dedicated post: http://blog.adrianmoisei.com/lang/ro/2009/08/nikon-24-70mm-f28/. Now few details about the test:

  • all the lens have been mounted on the same camera (D300), on the same tripod (exactly the same position);
  • all the images in the test were captured in a 10 minutes time interval, on a stable weather;
  • all the lens had filter mounted: Hoya Protector HD 77mm on 24-70mm, Hoya UV 72mm on Nikon 18-200mm and Kenko UV MC 52mm on Nikon 50mm;
  • because of the lens size and the relativity of the test, even if the focal length was strictly set, the 50mm lens images are a bit closer (as you can see in the images), giving the 50mm a slight advantage, but not enough to win the test :D


Test conclusion:
The winner is definitely Nikon 24-70 f/2.8, the 50mm f/1.8 beating it (arguably) only on f/8 and only in the center of the image (maybe because the slightly closer image). On the corners 24-70 is like from another world.

Impressive: Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8

August 16, 2009

24-701



Nikon 24-70 defined in a single word: awesome. In more words: almost perfect. With good photo quality even at f2.8 and exceptional at f4, Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 is a lens that will remove your will to take it of, after you mount it on your camera (assuming that 24-70 is what you in terms of focal length). On FX is greater but mounted on DX (D300 or D300s) is almost as good. I will post later some photo samples. From my point of view, even if I tested it on Nikon D80, I wouldn’t buy it for D80 because it’s lacking the AF fine tune and you can have back-focusing problems (for example).


When I started, I stated that it’s almost perfect lens. It’s not perfect because this is a kilo lens and in a bigger size than it shows in the photos (especially with the hood on). So, it’s big and heavy and although f/2.8 is great, maybe Nikon should of integrated the VR technology. Also quite pricey!
All these disadvantages will soon disappear after you start shooting. For D300, D300s and D700 you need the MB-D10 grip for a good balance.
