This lens has replaced my trusty old 28mm PC Nikkor which just isn't wide enough on an APS-C sensor camera. It is very sharp and in fact the results remind me of what I used to get from shooting...
First off, let me give a huge A+ to the B&H crew...and to UPS. I ordered mid-morning 12/31/07...got it today (1/2/08) at around 7:00 AM!!! Great service to my place in the boonies of South Dakota....
This is a great lens for taking pictures of interiors of houses. I needed a lens for my Canon 10D. I tested out the Sigma 10-20 and this lens. I would have like to try out the Canon 10-22 but it...
I spent a great deal of time researching a DX equivalent pro normal zoom lens, I've read many reviews and it came down to the nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8, the sigma 18-50mm f/2.8, and this little gem of a...
I have been using this as my studio lens for over a year. Fantastic results from F4 to F22. This lens replaced 2 prime lens I was using. Very light weight. Not as solid a build as the Nikon...
This len has lots of potential, but quality control is questionable
I felt like I was taking a gamble when I bought this lens, because I was not able to find many reviews of it. Given that the equivalent Nikon was almost 3x the price, I decided to take a chance....
Excessive vignetting with f2.8, take the full frame 17-35 f2.8-4 rather!
I returned this lens in fast succession as I saw the extent of vignetting, which it causes. Especially with f2.8 the problem is extreme with all focal length.
The Tokina AT-X 107 DX is a fish-eye lens that gives the digital photographer an approximate 180?? field of view with dramatic curvature of field or ??fish-eye?? effect. With this lens an entire...
I got this lens for 250 dollars reconditioned, it came to me like new. Great travel lens. You do have to crank the ISO up to stop action at 250mm but that is not that big of a deal. The lens does...
I purchased this lens about three weeks ago. People are asking me if I purchased a new camera. I use it on a Nikon D-70 and find the photos more vivid than the 18-55 lens on the camera when I...
The Sigma 18-125mm f/3.8-5.6 DC OS HSM Lens review is a reasonably-priced lens that comes in a small package and packs a really nice focal length range . The wide focal length range covered by...
An amazing lens by any standard. Sharp as a tack, Ultra quick AF, beautiful Bokeh wide open. Fabulous and expensive. Oh and don't buy it off Amazon, get it from B&H.
I just finished reviewing the images from my second nigh time baseball game since receiving my 300mm 2.8 VR lens. The only words I can think of is "WOW" The speed of the focus, the extremely...
This lens is fast, clear, and sharp! I'm mainly using it for portraits, along with the 50mm 1.8, on the D80 body. The feel and build of the lens is solid, giving a pleasing balance on the D80. The...
I bought this lens 4 days ago primarily for portraits. I've been so satisfied that I've hardly even taken if off! Very crisp and clear images, amazing results!
I tried out the sigma version of this lens and was happy to find how valuable the additional resolution and quality that an original Nikon product could deliver. Sigma does definetly not hold up...
I have had this lens for a year now and it is extremely useful. I have been using it on my Nikon D100 and D200. The extreme wide angle shots do not distort into a fish eye but takes up...
I've been using the 85mm f/1.8D for almost a year now, and took a step out to get the f/1.4D version, and was not disappointed! The 85mm f/1.4D lens is the cream machine when it comes to bokeh....
This is a good lens for the money. Not many aberitions, decent glass and quick focus. I use this lens on an S5 Pro, and found it did well out to the edges and gives me good balance in terms of...
I bought this as an upgrade to my existing 18-55 lens. Not a professional photographer but I have been working photos since Photoshop version 2.5 and I know a good shot when I see it. My 18-55...
I really wanted to believe. I read the reviews and I was extremely optimistic. I wanted to try & buy the lens locally but it wasn't available so I didn't get an opportunity to feel the lens.
So I waited for one here and it paid off. I advise those who want this lens to read my reviews on it and understand how I rate it. If you bought your lens here, is pretty good price even from...
This is a pro piece of glass and takes phenomenal pictures. I recommend this to anyone interested in getting into macro photography as I have been for some time. Focusing can be a little tricky,...
A good lens, but save your dollars and buy the older model, or the Tamron 90 macro. VR does not work up close, and that's the selling point of this lens. If you have to go manual for a macro...
I've been looking into a macro lens for a long time and finally settled on this model. I received mine this morning and spent about two hours shooting everything in site. Its an amazing lens...
Here we have what appears to be a made-in-heaven lens from Nikon combining thier excellent 105 2.8 with 9 blades for better bokeh (out of focus rendering) and (gulp!) VR!!!
I was a little worry about the purchasing this lens, because of the reports of quality control. However, after using the Sigma 50-150 on my Nikon d40 indoors, I am please with images the lens...
I wanted a good portrait lens that wouldn't cost too much. The 50-150mm range is perfect and on my Nikon D80 it is equivalent to a 75-225mm lens on my film camera. When compared with the FF...
This is the best general use lens I have ever used. The minimum focal distance surpasses most standard lenses. I would recommend this lens to replace any lens that is standard with teh Nikon D40.
Actually, I have used better kit lenses in the past that this one. This is a really, really un-sharp lens. Every picture it churns out is soft and fuzzy, and it doesn't take much magnification in...
Great for casual shooters, not pros: great budget lens
I got this lens in my D200 kit, and within a year sold it off. While I found the lens to be adequate for many of my uses, until I purchased the 17-55 f/2.8 DX, I had no idea what my D200 was...
This fine little lens is worth every penny of its modest cost. It's light, sharp across the entire range, and much more rugged than it first appears (I hauled mine 1000 km across dusty Namibian...
...I went for this. I know, I know - Nikon gear is really expensive. But I think it's still one of the few things in life where you get what you pay for. As my uncle once told me, "Kid, if you want...
This is an excellent lens. Well-built and sharp. HOWEVER, so is the Tokina version at half the price. I tested both and couldn't tell the difference in the images. Used the other $500 for something...
The quality of images taken with this lens at 24mm is stunning. However, the performance of this lens at 12-14mm is poor, even when stopped down to f8-11. The corners are soft and images seem to...
I bought this lens after much research and procrastination, it was expensive. I used it with my D80 and took several shots at with it over a weekend. The exposures were perfectly exposed,contrasty...
I liked the photos I took with this lens. THe macro is just fantastic. After a week I started having problems when the camera would not fire and the display would show F-- . The lens metal...
I've owned Sigma before and this is yet another lens from them that has the front focus problem. I used this on the D200. I own the Sigma 24 1.8 and I had to send both the lens and camera body to...
I cannot say enough great things about this lens. I have a blast shooting with it - it always brings a smile to my face. It's reasonably fast and VERY compact. if you're more than a few feet away...
Having borrowed this lens from a friend, I was immediately taken to it. The wide angle is incredible and makes you feel like you can get a full 180 degrees in the shot. Fantastic lens, clear,...
As soon as I got the lens I went out to test it. The scene was down the middle of my street. Shot it as a NEF Raw file with a Basic JPG with a auto setting and ISO 200 on a D70.
I bought the 55-200VR to go with a D40. No regrets. VR works very well, and my 13-year old says that it emits a very high pitch whine. This sound is beyond what adults can hear, however many...
For the price, this lens is sharper than you would think. Since this is a DX lens, you get decent telephoto ranges on most Nikon digital SLRs. However, you don't want to use this on a D3 or a D700...
The lense is heavy and a challenge to focus; both distances and up close to the subject. It did not live up to my expectations and was returned to Amazon for a full, hassle-free credit.
This is a lens that doesn't make sense. The price point should be double the current price. Very sharp images, decent boke, great range and VR is simply incredible. Hand hold 85mm 1/6 sec, no...
Constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 at all focal lengths Enhanced optical formulas, engineered to produce exceptional sharpness, contrast and color, render outstanding image integrity ED (Extra-low...
