How about using two Nikon prime lenses, 281.4 and 1051.4?

What about the combination of two Nikon fixed focus lenses, 281.4 and 1051.4?

On the premise that the subject of the subject has not clearly stated the subject of the photo, the combination of these two fixed-focus lenses is really not good. Why do you say that? !

There is no doubt about the quality and maximum aperture of these two lenses. The problem of poor combination is not the lenses themselves, but the problem of single focal length and large span, which is too narrow to adapt to the subject matter.

28 1.4 is a wide-angle lens, which is great for taking pictures of landscapes, but can barely take pictures of environmental portraits and humanities documentaries; 105 1.4 is a telephoto lens that is the "king of portraits" and is a great tool for outdoor portraits. However, this focal length span of 28-105 has lost the small wide angle, standard focal length, and medium focal length. To put it bluntly, it has lost the excellent focal length for shooting humanistic and environmental portraits.

Of course, if the topic is focused on landscapes and micro-landscapes, then this combination makes sense. But once you want to get involved in other shooting subjects, these two lenses will seem too thin.

At the very least, it should be supplemented with standard focal lengths from wide-angle to telephoto, at least 50 constant, preferably 35 constant and 85 constant, combined with the 28 constant and 105 The maximum aperture must be 1.4, so if you want to get all 35, 50, and 85, it must be a big expense. A more reasonable suggestion is to add a 24-70 f 2.8 zoom lens.

If I go with a fixed focus combination, I might consider adding a 50f1.4 or consider replacing the 105f1.4 with a 50f1.4. Because, the role of 105f1.4 is relatively limited to portraits, but 50f1.4 can be applied to portraits and takes into account humanistic photography.

Sorry if I’m wrong.

There is nothing wrong with the combination of these two lenses. Being able to choose these two focal lengths among fixed-focus lenses is considered a photography "experience". (According to the meaning of the question, we will not include zoom lens comparison here, and the image quality is not comparable)

Players all know that Nikon 28mm f1.4 is a wide-angle lens, and the 28mm focal length has a wide range of adaptability, whether it is humanities scanning. Whether it's street photography, indoor portraits, or starry night photography, the amount of light brought by the large aperture and the quality of the fixed-focus lens can bring about delicate imaging effects in extreme environments (evaluation and parameters omitted).

Nikon 105mm f1.4 fixed focus lens is a high-quality lens mainly used for portrait shooting. After reading the answers from individual photographers, it is necessary to popularize the knowledge about the Nikon 105 lens here; the Nikon 105mm lens is divided into 105f2.8 and 105f1.4. The former is a macro lens and is more inclined to shoot flowers, while the latter It is a portrait photography lens and is more suitable for artistic portrait creation. It is right to choose 105f2.8 for shooting flowers and insects. Otherwise, it would be off topic, or maybe the main shooting function of these two lenses is not clear.

The Nikon 105f1.4 is a mid-telephoto fixed-focus lens. Whether it is the out-of-focus bokeh caused by the large aperture or the clear effect of stripping out the foreground figures, it is indeed a rare one in the Nikon family. A high quality lens. Even in today’s mirrorless SLR era, the imaging effect of this lens is still first-rate when used in the mirrorless Z mount using an adapter ring. This is why the price of Nikon 105f1.4 is so high, even if it is The price of second-hand 9.9 quality products is close to 10,000 yuan.

Back to "Question"; How about the lens combination of Nikon 28f1.4 + Nikon 105f1.4? Put it this way; not only the imaging effect is perfect, but it is also suitable for "portable" combinations with commonly used focal lengths. If you are not taking bird pictures, would it be more perfect if you add a 720 zoom lens?

The above suggestions are for reference only. If they are not enough, you are welcome to comment or add to them.

@Photography Micro Talk

Your choice is the same as mine, 28 focusing on humanities and scenery, 105 portraits and short sketches

If the title does not clearly indicate the subject of the shooting Under the premise, the combination of these two fixed focus heads is really not good. Why do you say that? !

There is no doubt about the quality and maximum aperture of these two lenses. The problem of poor combination is not the lenses themselves, but the problem of single focal length and large span, which is too narrow to adapt to the subject matter.

28 1.4 is a wide-angle lens, which is excellent for taking pictures of landscapes, but can barely take pictures of environmental portraits and humanities documentaries; 105 1.4 is a telephoto "portrait king", a powerful tool for outdoor portraits. However, this focal length span of 28-105 has lost the small wide angle, standard focal length, and medium focal length. To put it bluntly, it has lost the excellent focal length for shooting humanistic and environmental portraits.

Of course, if the topic is focused on landscapes and micro-landscapes, then this combination makes sense. But once you want to get involved in other shooting subjects, these two lenses will seem too thin.

At the very least, it should be supplemented with standard focal lengths from wide-angle to telephoto, at least 50 constant, preferably 35 constant and 85 constant, combined with the topic 28 constant and 105 The maximum aperture must be 1.4, so if you want to get all 35, 50, and 85, it must be a big expense.

A more reasonable suggestion is to add a 24-70 f 2.8 zoom lens.

Thank you, master, and fellow moviegoers for your detailed answers. 281.4 is mainly used for shooting landscapes and large-scale group activities, and 1051.4 is mainly used for shooting portraits. The two lenses 24702.8 and 702002.8 are very good, but I think as a hobby, the combination of the two lenses I mentioned should be more practical and have better image quality! < /p>

28 is not enough, let’s go with 24

One indoors and one outdoors. Can. The 35mm may be used more indoors. Of course, the lens selection depends on the venue.
