I would like to ask if anyone needs a Canon 18-55 second-band anti-shake lens. I didn’t like this lens on the new kit I bought, so I bought it for a cheap price. It’s brand new. QQ439353833

Hehe. . .

I personally think that the D60 kit is a good choice for novices, but it is a pity that it does not have a body motor, but it doesn’t matter, the AFS lens can solve the problem. As for taking portraits, if you want better results, it’s best to use a personal camera, such as 85mm or 50mm. . .

Another article for you, which may be helpful to you:

1. Appearance and feel. I don’t like the appearance of the machine, the machine feels bad in the hand, and it’s not pleasant to use, so don’t think about it for now.

2. Pixels, the current mainstream is SLRs with 10 million pixels, so Canon’s 400D, Nikon’s D200/D80/D40X, SONY’s A100, and Pentax’s K10D are all main models.

3. Price. This is very simple. You can do whatever you want with how much money you have. Most machines with 10 million pixels are between 5K and 7K. Only Nikon's D200 is a professional entry-level machine that costs about 1W. You won’t go wrong if you make a budget before buying anything.

4. Don’t pay too much attention to the dust removal function on the current machine. The effect of this new function is far from being as good as advertised. There is no need to care too much about this now. The body shake function is quite practical.

Because I am personally a Nikon user, I will focus on how to match Nikon lenses. And in order to be responsible, I only wrote about the lenses I have used. Some of them are owned by me, and some are owned by my friends. After playing with them for so long, I feel that they all have their own characteristics. I want to be as objective as possible. out, but I can responsibly say that they are all worth considering. The key is to look at your requirements and financial ability.

To put it simply, the characteristics of Nikon's lenses are: fixed focus is better than zoom, relatively cheap, sharp imaging style, high-end products lose to Canon, mid-range and low-end products are not inferior, and even slightly better. As the main brand of lenses in the world, Nikon and Canon have been at war for decades. Nikon's lenses are in the mid-to-low-end range. They are relatively cheaper and have better workmanship, so they are deeply loved by photography enthusiasts. Canon is in a leading position in professional fields, such as sports photography, so you will see many people using Canon cannons in football matches and tennis matches.

As an ordinary enthusiast, I only buy a SLR for fun, entertainment, and taking pictures of flowers and plants. The total investment may only be 1-3W. How likely is it to buy such a professional lens and camera? What about the fuselage? Of course, it is not ruled out that rich players can buy a lot of bull heads at once. That is beyond the scope of this text discussion. If you have money, it is easy to do things. You don’t have to worry about matching lenses.

In fact, both Canon and Nikon have dog heads, good heads, and cow heads. Just like Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, and Cantonese cuisine, there are some that are not delicious, and some that I like to eat very much, but I prefer to eat them. Just some hot pot. Haha, after choosing Nikon, I also thought about playing with Canon for a while, but later I found that people who play with Canon also want to play with Nikon, so I realized that making good use of the equipment in my hands is the key, otherwise no matter how much money I have, it will be useless to buy all the equipment. So back to the matter. No photographic work relies entirely on top-notch equipment to win awards. Equipment is just a tool, so don’t pursue it excessively and be superstitious. Without further ado, let’s get down to business.

1. Classification of lenses

1. According to brands

Lens are generally classified according to brands, such as Nikon lenses, Canon lenses, Pentax lenses, SONY lens. Please note that lenses from these brands cannot be directly interchanged. If you choose a Nikon SLR, it will be difficult to use Canon lenses because their mount design is different. Although the fun of SLR is to change lenses, we often find that there are actually very few lenses that can be changed. Haha, this is determined by interests and cannot be changed in the short term.

There is a special lens group for brand differentiation - subsidiary factory lenses.

Once we buy a lens of a certain brand such as Nikon, we generally choose lenses produced by Nikon itself, which are called "original lenses". We can also choose lenses such as Sigma, Tamron, and Tokina. Such third-party companies produce lenses for Nikon bodies. We call lenses produced by manufacturers that are not Nikon's original manufacturers "sub-factory lenses." In the same way, Canon and Pentax can not only use their own lenses for their bodies, but also choose matching lenses produced for them by Sigma, Tamron, and Tokina.

However, because a user who buys a SLR mostly only buys one body, but may buy several lenses, the manufacturer's profits are more reflected in the lenses and related accessories, so Nikon and Canon Manufacturers that can produce both bodies and lenses wish that people all over the world would only buy their own cameras and lenses. Therefore, it is difficult for sub-factories to obtain technical support from Nikon and Canon, so some of the products they design and produce often have some compatibility problems. Coupled with manufacturing experience, quality control and other reasons, individual differences will be relatively large. In other words, you may be lucky enough to buy a lens with no problems, or you may be lucky enough to buy a lens with all problems, or even if you replace several lenses in a row, there will still be problems.

But in general, the quality of sub-factory lenses has improved a lot. Except for a few exceptions, there are already many classic and excellent lenses worth buying. I will write specifically about the recommendations of sub-factory lenses later.

2. Classification according to focal length

Traditional 135 lenses are generally divided according to focal length. The more traditional classification method is:

10- 17mm is a super wide-angle - mainly used for shooting landscapes, especially large scenes, such as grasslands, deserts, and seas

17-35mm wide angle--landscapes and humanities, the main focal length for taking travel photos, especially suitable for Travel photography

35-135mm medium focus - humanities and portraits. Among this focal length, the 85mm focal length is especially praised as the best focal length for portraits, so we often see lenses like 85mm F1.8 called portrait lenses.

50mm - This focal length is said to best match the viewing angle of the human eye, so it has become the standard focal length. This is why we often call the 50mm lens "head". But recently I saw an article saying that 42mm is the real standard focal length. Hey, I won’t worry about it so much. Since that’s how it is traditionally called, let’s just call it that.

135-200mm - telephoto, more suitable for close-ups of people, taking pictures of lotus flowers, stages, etc.

135mm and above are considered telephoto, and 200mm is generally used That’s it, but some people like to take photos of wild animals and birds and use focal lengths like 300, 400, or even 600mm. But those first ones cost tens of thousands, and they are not affordable for ordinary people. I have never played them, so I won’t talk about them.

Macro - a macro lens specially used to take pictures of insects, flowers and other small things. This focal length is quite special, but the variety is very simple. The two common macro lenses from Nikon are 60mm and 105mm, which will be discussed in detail later.

I will mainly talk about 10-200MM, one of the most common, commonly used and probably the most troublesome focal lengths in lens selection. However, I want to emphasize one thing in particular:

The focal lengths mentioned above are all the focal lengths of traditional 135mm cameras. In fact, in the digital age, these focal lengths often need to be converted, and the focal lengths must be multiplied by one. The coefficient is the real actual focal length. For example, Nikon's current SLR body coefficients are all 1.5, while different Canon models have different coefficients. The D400 is 1.6. It is worth mentioning that Canon's 5D and Big Rabbit 1Ds MARK II are full-frame coefficients of 1. So a lens like Nikon's 85MM F1.4D, on a Nikon digital camera like D80, is actually 85x1.5, which is a focal length of about 128MM, and so on.

The existence of this coefficient has caused a big trouble. In the past, the wide-angle focal length of 17-35MM on the traditional Nikon 135 camera actually became 26 on Nikon's digital SLR. — 53MM is such a strange focal length, and the wide angle is almost gone. This is why some people buy ultra-wide-angle lenses like 12-24MM to use on digital SLRs. (12-24 multiplied by the coefficient is exactly a very traditional standard 18-36MM wide-angle focal length). This is one of the reasons why some people recommend full-frame cameras like Canon's 5D.

3. There are several other classifications of lenses:

Fixed focus and zoom - this should be easy to understand. Fixed focus means a constant focal length, such as Nikon's 105mm macro lens. It's a 105mm fixed focus. Zoom means that the focal length can be adjusted. For example, Nikon's 17-35MM F2.8D lens can freely change between the focal length of 17 and 35MM.

Dog head and bull head - this is what photographers call it. The manufacturer refers more to "economical and practical ordinary head" and "professional head with excellent imaging". There is actually nothing to say about this. After all, the manufacturer To make money, imaging cannot be both good and cheap. However, both Nikon and Canon have a good image quality and low price, which is the 50MM F1.8. This head from both manufacturers is definitely worth buying, and this is unanimously recognized.

After understanding the general classification of lenses and choosing your favorite body, please think about these questions before starting to buy lenses. Of course, wealthy friends can completely ignore the following questions. :

1. What is the maximum budget you have? Don’t read a few articles or posts and then randomly increase your budget. Friends who are just starting out with SLRs should start with practicality first. Otherwise, if you buy a bullhead, you may not be able to use its power and you will have a backlog. funds.

2. What do you take the most photos of every day? —— Referring to what I wrote earlier, if you like to take portraits, you should choose a lens with a focal range of 35-135. If you like to take pictures of landscapes and travel, you should choose a wide angle with a focal length of 17-35. If you like to take photos of lotuses and birds, you should consider a lens with a 200mm focal length.

3. Are the imaging requirements high? This is a big question, what exactly is good imaging? There are many standards, and related wars of words have been going on since the advent of the lens. To put it simply: the image is clear, the color is pure, the inner focus is sharp, the outer focus is soft, and the level of detail is better.

I think this should be analyzed based on the purpose of taking pictures. For example, if you are just taking pictures for fun, an ordinary lens will be enough. If you want to engage in photography, shoot advertisements or something, then it is still necessary to use a cow head.

4. Will there be an upgrade in the short term in half a year? Once you fall into the pit of SLR, no one will live forever. There is a reason why Nikon is called a "mud pit". I have never met anyone who bought a SLR body and didn't want to change or upgrade the lens. Therefore, when purchasing a lens, you may wish to consider whether you have the need to upgrade and consider the value preservation of the lens.

Supplement: The characteristic of SLR lenses is that they retain their value relatively well, at least much better than compact cameras and mobile phones. Generally speaking, the second-hand price of lenses that are in good condition, licensed, and come with a warranty is about 90% of the original price. For example, for example, if you spend 7,500 to buy a Nikon 85mm F1.4D like this, it comes with a warranty and has been used for 10 months. There are no problems with the lens, the condition is well protected, and the packaging and invoice are complete, then it will cost around 6,500. . The loss of 1K yuan can be regarded as this year's depreciation. Thinking about it, it is still relatively cost-effective. After all, the one used in these 10 months is an ox head. Of course, some people say that these 7500 may have earned 1K in 10 months of stock trading, but after all, it is uncertain and risky. As long as the lens is of good quality, people will come to Niutou almost as soon as an advertisement is posted on the second-hand market. Ask, don’t worry about selling.

My personal suggestions:

1. Try to use a lens with good imaging within the budget, which will not only make you happy with shooting, but also make it easier to upgrade and resell in the future, or sell it and recycle it. funds. Not many people who play SLR don’t want to change lenses. One of the joys of SLR is that you can change lenses. Therefore, it is recommended to try to buy lenses with good reputation and good imaging for future use.

2. Be sure to buy a good lens with the focal length that you shoot most often. You can temporarily ignore or invest less in focal lengths that you don’t often shoot with.

3. You would rather spend the money on 3 heads to buy a head with good imaging than just make do with it. Especially when some people are not very rich, they deliberately buy a bunch of lenses to match the focal length of 17-200. As a result, they spend a lot of money, but none of them has good imaging results.

4. It is enough to buy an ordinary wide-angle lens for shooting landscapes, because most of the photos of landscapes require a small aperture, and in the case of a small aperture, the image of an ordinary lens will be very good, so unless it is specially needed , generally speaking, there is no need to buy a wide-angle lens with a large aperture.

5. Medium focal lengths such as 35-135 are used the most time and often, because commemorative photos, portraits, and humanities are all taken at this focal length. Especially focal lengths such as 50MM and 85MM are almost available to everyone, because you don’t have to take pictures of landscapes or insects and plants, but it’s hard not to take pictures of your girlfriend, wife, children, friends, family, well, by the way, And PLMM.

6. Telephoto is recommended for people who really like long-distance photography, because telephoto lenses are generally heavy, and people who don’t like them are generally not willing to take heavy lenses out to shoot. There are many people who buy telephoto lenses for less use, and most of them still prefer mid-focal lenses such as 24-70, 28-70, and 85mm.

Nikon lenses come in many grades, with low-end ones costing only a few hundred yuan and high-end ones costing more than 10,000 yuan. Newcomers often don't understand. Let me tell you how to make a simple judgment.

Lens generally have several basic principles:

1. The image of a fixed focus is better than a zoom at the same focal length. This is because zooming has to take into account the image quality of several focal lengths, while fixed focus is very simple and it only needs to be good at one focal length.

2. The larger the aperture, the more expensive it is, and the one with a constant large aperture is more expensive. The larger the aperture, the greater the technical difficulty and cost. Therefore, lenses with large apertures are commonly known as "big eyes". Those big watery eyes are very attractive! Falling in love with "big eyes" means taking out your wallet. Alas, only you can experience the taste...

3. The heavier the lens, the better. The one with the higher price according to the manufacturer's guidance is definitely better ( This sentence is almost nonsense, but it is true).

Each lens has its own golden imaging aperture. Generally speaking, the imaging of F5.6/8/11 will be better. Different models of lenses have different optimal imaging apertures. We need to understand our own The lens should try to use its good focal length and aperture to take photos as much as possible.

4. All brands of lenses, as long as they are zoom heads and have a constant aperture, they will definitely be good. The larger the constant aperture, the better. Nikon's consumer zoom lens currently has a maximum constant aperture of 2.8. As long as Nikon's zoom constant aperture is 2.8, it is bullish. Otherwise, the constant aperture of the zoom at 2.8 means "great change".

When choosing a lens, follow what I wrote before and you should first choose what you want to take. For example, if you want to take portraits and especially like to take close-ups, then you can choose a zoom like 70-200. Nikon's famous AF-S VR 70-200mm F2.8G IF-ED is a constant large aperture of 2.8.

5. A fixed-focus lens with a maximum aperture of 1.4 is a good start. At present, the common Nikon lenses are 50MM F1.4D and 85MM F1.4D, both of which are very good lenses, especially the 85MM F1.4D, which is particularly good for portraits.

6. There are no weaklings in macro.

Because of the design technology and other reasons for macro heads, even sub-factories can produce very good macro lenses, so you can buy them with confidence. There is basically no big difference between macro lenses.

Okay, let me start with Nikon's high-end, Niutou.

1. Nikon's zoom head

Nikon AF-S DX 12-24mm F4G IF-ED lens reference price: ￥7000 - the super wide king, almost perfect distortion control, The color is super good, except for the high price, there are almost no shortcomings

Nikon AF-S 17-35mm f/2.8D IF-ED lens reference price: ￥9800 - the famous "golden wide angle", Nikon One of the Three Musketeers of Zoom. In addition to the high price, there are some problems with anti-purple fringing and anti-glare in the digital era, but there are no other shortcomings. The image is good, anti-distortion, and the color is good.

Nikon AF-S DX 17-55mm F2.8G IF-ED lens Reference price: ￥10800 - Nikon's new launch in the digital SLR era, optimized for digital bodies. The imaging is better and the colors are more vivid, but it doesn’t support all 135 cameras.

Nikon AF-S 28-70mm F2.8D IF-ED lens reference price: ￥10300 - the king of lenses, once the best choice for Nikon's mid-range zoom, the imaging at all focal lengths is very good, And it also has a constant large aperture of F2.8. One of Nikon's Three Musketeers of Zoom. The problem in the digital age is that the purple fringing phenomenon is more serious, but in the digital age this problem is no longer a problem once software is used to deal with it.

Nikon AF-S VR 70-200mm F2.8G IF-ED lens reference price: ￥12900 - a small bamboo gun, I personally think it is the most worthy of consideration among Nikon lenses. A super zoom lens with excellent imaging! One of Nikon's Three Musketeers of Zoom. Apart from being heavy, this head has no shortcomings, really none. The imaging is very good at all focal lengths when the aperture is fully opened to F2.8. It is the only Nikon zoom lens that makes me drool.

2. Nikon's fixed-focus lens

Nikon Ai AF 85mm F1.4D IF lens reference price: ￥7300 - the king of portraits, the image is typically sharp in focus and out of focus Soft, good colors, but the problem of purple fringing is more prominent in the digital age.

Nikon Ai AF 135mm F2 IF DC lens reference price: ￥7800 - the king of portraits, the bokeh is better than the 85MM F1.4D IF, and the level of detail is richer

Nikon AF-S VR 105mm F2.8G IF-ED lens reference price: ￥5500 - the king of macro, Nikon likes to take photos of flowers, plants, insects, water droplets, etc. The first choice for macro, and this lens can also take into account portraits, I personally think it is superb Value

Let’s introduce Nikon’s mid-range lenses. The prices of these lenses are relatively affordable. I personally think they are more worth buying because the imaging of these lenses is actually very good. Compared with similar lenses from other brands, the price is very low. But it is lower and the workmanship is better. This is where I personally think Nikon is quite kind.

1. Nikon’s good zoom lens

Nikon AF 18-35mm F3.5-4.5D IF-ED lens reference price: ￥3250 - the famous silver wide angle! Nikon's affordable, affordable wide-angle lens. When shooting landscapes, we generally shrink the aperture to increase the depth of field, which means that the entire scene is clear instead of blurred. So although this head can only reach an aperture of 3.5 at the 18MM focal length, it is enough, because generally F5.6/F8/F11 is used to shoot landscapes, and the image of this head is very good at F5.6. In this way, the constant 2.8 aperture of the golden wide-angle mentioned earlier is not so necessary, and the savings can be several K yuan!

Nikon AF-S DX 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED Reference price: ￥2200 - This is actually a kit for Nikon's D70 and D70S bodies, but because the image quality is very good , the focal length is very practical, it can take pictures of landscapes, humanities and portraits, and the workmanship is great (the metal interface also has an ultrasonic motor), so it has become the first choice of many people. Personally, I highly recommend it and it is indeed a good choice worth buying!

Nikon AF-S DX VR 18-200mm F3.5-5.6G IF-ED Reference price: ￥6800 - A lens with good imaging, which can satisfy the desire of taking over the world with one lens, but it is used by profiteers The speculation is too high, the current price is around 7K.

Nikon AF-S VR 55-200mm F4-5.6 G (IF) lens reference price: ￥2270

Nikon AF-S VR 70-300mm F4.5-5.6G IF -ED lens reference price: ￥5700

The above two lenses are Nikon’s newly launched improved versions of the old models with VR functions.

The zoom has a wide range of focal lengths, including medium focal length and telephoto, the imaging is pretty good, and the price is cheap. It is an economical and practical first choice for people who like to take pictures of people, birds, exhibitions, and stages.

Nikon AF 80-200mm F2.8D ED lens Reference price: ￥6900

The famous small steel cannon. The image quality is excellent, and the constant aperture of 2.8 is actually quite impressive. Unfortunately, it has a small bamboo cannon pressed down on it, so I’m writing this here. I’m sorry for it. Compared with XZP, it just doesn’t have VR and IF functions, but the workmanship is great. , it can be said that a zoom lens with good imaging is required. If you don’t buy a small bamboo gun with such a focal length, you have to buy it.

2. Nikon's good fixed focus lens

Nikon Ai AF 20mm F2.8D lens reference price: ￥3570 - a good wide-angle fixed focus lens from Nikon, this lens The distortion is perfectly controlled and the colors are almost perfect, making it the first choice for wide-angle fixed focus. There is also a 24MM F2.8 camera that is not that good to be honest, and the price is not cheap either. As for the legendary 28mm F1.4, it’s too expensive to afford, and it’s not something you can buy if you want to.

Nikon Ai AF 35mm F2D lens reference price: ￥2150 - the first choice for humanistic heads. In fact, you don’t need to buy a zoom when shooting humanities. Just buy this head. It has excellent imaging, good colors, a fairly wide aperture, and is not blinding, so it is suitable for shooting in various situations.

Nikon Ai AF 50mm F1.4D lens reference price: ￥1950 - Compared with 50M F1.8D, it has a larger aperture and better workmanship. The image is also better at large aperture. , but after the aperture is reduced to 4, the image is not as good as the 50MM F1.8D

Nikon Ai AF 50mm F1.8D lens reference price: ￥750 - high quality and low price! Nikon's first choice for lens, one of Nikon's most worth buying and cheapest lenses. The image is thicker when the aperture is large. It is recommended to use F2.8 to ensure your satisfaction.

Nikon Ai AF Micro 60mm F2.8D lens reference price: ￥2750 - a high-quality and low-priced macro lens. Compared with the 105MM F2.8G macro, the main weakness is that the bokeh is not that good. You can’t take portraits into consideration.

Nikon Ai AF 85mm F1.8D lens reference price: ￥2750 - great portrait lens! Compared with the 85MM F1.4 mentioned above, it is just a little bit out of focus, but the difference in other places is not much, but the price is only one-third of the former!

Nikon AF 180mm F2.8D IF-ED lens reference price: ￥5300 - good telephoto, large aperture, good imaging, second-hand price is a little more than 3K, more cost-effective

Nikon AF-S 300mm F4 IF-ED lens reference price: ￥7700 - a bird hunting tool that ordinary people can afford, and the imaging is pretty good

Except for the original lens , in fact, you can also choose several lenses from subsidiary manufacturers. Among the secondary factory lenses, the macro lens, ultra wide angle lens, and fixed focus lens are all good. I know that many people around me are using these lenses, and several zoom lenses from subsidiary manufacturers also perform well, and are much cheaper than original lenses, so they are worth considering.

Introducing several common and guaranteed sub-factory lenses:

1. Tamron:

SP AF 90mm F2.8 Di MACRO lens Reference price: ￥3071

Tamron’s flagship lens is this SP90 macro lens. Its characteristics are: good imaging, high sharpness, good color, and it can also take portraits into account. There used to be an old version of SP 90mm F2.8 MACRO. Reference price: ￥2280. Compared with the new model sold now, the price difference is mainly due to the DI coating process. As for whether it is worth it, I don’t see much difference between the two anyway. ,hehe.

2. Sigma:

Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM lens reference price: ￥3750

The distortion control of this lens is okay, but This focal length is really too wide and difficult to control when taking pictures. It is recommended to consider it carefully

Sigma 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG ASP HSM lens reference price: ￥4750

Personally, I feel that the price/performance ratio is not as high as that of Tuli, but the imaging is very good

Sigma 30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM lens reference price: ￥3100

Individual differences often occur. However, the temptation of "big eyes" with F1.4 large aperture is still great, and the imaging is really good

Sigma APO 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG MACRO HSM lens reference price: ￥6760

Macro Xiaohei is very cost-effective. I think it is better to buy a second-hand Nikon original small steel cannon that is only about 4K. After all, who would use this cannon to wander around all day long and take macro shots? It’s safer to bring a tripod

Sigma 150MM F2.8 Macro

I saw this second-hand one sold for over 1K. The imaging is very good and the price/performance ratio is very high. It’s a very good macro head.

3. Tokina:

Tokina 12-24mm F4 IF (AT-X124PRO DX) lens reference price: ￥3680

I own this lens myself There is one lens whose edge imaging distortion control is not as good as Nikon's 17-35, but the price is only 1/3 of the price. It is a very cost-effective lens and the workmanship and materials are very good. Of course, I now highly recommend the 20MM F2.8D fixed focus lens for Nikon's wide-angle lens. It is indeed a very good wide-angle lens. The new price is around 3,600, and second-hand ones are hard to find, usually around 2,800.

Tokina 100mm F2.8 MACRO AT-X M100 PRO D lens reference price: ￥2250

Tokina’s macro head is equally good at imaging, and the macro is really flawless Travel!

AI——Automatic Indexing automatic maximum aperture transmission technology

AF-S: Silent Wave Motor

D-type lens: Distance focus distance data transmission technology

It means that the lens can return focus distance information, which can be used as a reference for 3D (brightness of the scene, contrast of the scene, distance of the scene) matrix metering and control of TTL balanced flash. Launched in 1992.

ED: Extra-low Dispersion lens

It means that this lens contains ED lens, which minimizes lens chromatic aberration (chromatic aberration), thus ensuring excellent lens quality. optical performance.

ED: Extra-low Dispersion lens

G-type lens

Different from D-type lens, this lens has no aperture ring design , the aperture adjustment must be done by the camera body, and it also supports 3D matrix metering. This design reduces the weight of the lens and reduces production costs.

IF: Internal Focusing internal focusing technology

The so-called internal focusing means that when the lens is focusing, the front and rear lenses do not move, but a focus lens group inside the lens (focus lens) group) to complete focusing, and the lens length remains unchanged during focusing. The adoption of IF technology makes fast and quiet focusing possible.

Micro

It means that this lens is a macro lens, or has the function of macro shooting

Representative lens: 105mm f/2.8D AF Micro- Nikkor

VR: Vibration Reduction Electronic Vibration Reduction System

The code name of NIKON anti-shake lens, which can be used for handheld photography at slow shutter speeds to increase the stability of the picture. The bodies that can support VR include F5, F100, F80, F65, D1, and D100. The remaining bodies can use lenses but do not support VR functions.

Based on some examples encountered in real life, let’s talk about how to match people with different purposes and uses.

1. Take photos of children, family members, and girlfriends

Some friends buy SLRs because the images are better than those on cards, with a large depth of field, the background can be blurred, and they can take pictures of their own children. Many of them are Take pictures of your newborn baby. Personally, I don’t think you need to invest too much. A D8 50MM F1.8D is enough. After all, when taking pictures of your family, a large aperture portrait head is the most practical.

If you still want to take some other photos, it is recommended to choose: D818-70MM F4.5-5.6D DX+85MM F1.8D. At present, I think this combination is the best to take into account landscapes, humanities, and portraits when a certain image quality is required. Economical combination.

2. Unit purchase, take photos of meetings, leaders, group photos, etc.

If the unit purchase requires convenience and practicality, you can choose D80 as the body. Because you often need to take pictures of large conference scenes, the work environment of the unit, etc., you can consider the 12-24MM F4 super wide-angle of Tokina, which is also very practical for taking group photos of 20 or 30 people. It is also recommended to purchase a medium-long focal length lens for taking close-ups of leadership speeches in the audience. The specific lens selection refers to the different budget configurations mentioned above.

3. Travel enthusiasts

Buy a D80 kit, or D80 + Nikon AF-S DX VR 18-200mm F3.5-5.6G IF-ED lens, which is known as " The lens of "one lens that can travel the world" has good images and the VR function is very practical. However, the current price is a bit high, about 7K. Don’t bring too many lenses when traveling. Firstly, it’s inconvenient, and secondly, it’s a matter of property safety. If financial conditions permit, I suggest you consider an 85MM F1.8D as a portrait head, because every time I travel, I see female compatriots asking male compatriots to take pictures of themselves beautifully. Having a portrait head is still useful.

4. If you want to learn photography

It is recommended not to buy a lens that is too good, otherwise it will be spoiled easily. If you want to learn photography, it is best to start with a general lens and learn the most basic exposure and composition. It’s too easy to be fooled by the advantages of the lens itself if you just use the bull head. You can buy a wide-angle lens, a 50MM lens, and an 85MM portrait lens. The cost of lenses is not easy to be too high, because to learn photography, you also need to buy a tripod, flash, etc.
