Making the choice between a nikon dx versus fx
I'm new to SLR photography. I bought a new D and I'm looking for a good prime lens for my camera. I don't know the exact differences between these lenses on my camera. Can you please help the to decide the lens. Also I would like to get a good micro lens as well for my camera. Can you please suggest choice good micro lens preferably Nikon for D I think 50mm is a bit long as a standard lens on a DX body so the 35mm makes much more sense to me. If anything I would go a tad wider and weigh up a Sigma 30mm f1. I'd probably go for the Sigma The Nikon 35 is a good lens and probably represents the best value. Too long as a standard lens but not as long as I like for portrait. Some people like it though. In terms of IQ I put them on a par. They are both very good. Sharp wide open, reasonable bokeh for lenses in this range, good AF. Choice you shoot indoors then go for 35, if outdoors then Both are great lenses. Just remember that in comparison to kit lenses these have no VR so you are forced to increase shutter speed accordingly to get good sharp shots. I just love the bokeh possible with such primes. BTW disregard those who say that primes are required for a sharp shot, modern kit lenses will also give you that. I personally like the lenses for the different perspective narrow DOF. I was making the same choice for my DX camera a year ago. I was looking for a low light capable lens, so I didn't have a particular focal length in mind. Yes, 50mm lens is FX, so if my next camera would be FX format this lens would still be useful. On the other hand, I think nikon focal length is a bit restrictive for me. I analyzed my previous shots grouped by their focal lengths - many photo management programs allow you to do nikon - and noticed that I tend to shoot wide - most of my shots are landscapes, architecture, interiors, street photos, etc. Also 50mm is not really suitable for portraits either. What finally decided it for me was the filter thread. It would split the difference between the 35 and 50 and at the same time give you the Macro nikon you're looking for. I have no experience whatsoever with this lens so hopefully somebody else can chime in. Make sure you select "digital" not "film" to see what various FLs look like on APS-C. It's a bit useful, but only so useful, because the sample shots are all scenics, no portraits or candids. It gives you something like a "natural" field of view. There's a between explanation of what it is that's natural about a normal lens versus has to do with standard viewing distances of prints and so on that's probably overkill. On APS-C, it's a very short telephoto; shorter than what's typically considered a "portrait lens". Of between, anything can be a portrait lens and many, many people use the 50mm on APS-C as a "poor mans portrait lens". Personally, I use the 35 and recently bought the 85 after having used an 85 extensively on my previous system. I have no use for a 50 on APS-C well almost none. Once I got the 35 1. I have the same problem. Budget is a factor plus what mainly is the difference between them and the explanation about the lenses please. It is actually the 'AF-S' or the lack designation that determines whether the lens has built in focus motor. You need AF-S lenses to autofocus on the D Nikon D lenses that lack AF-S are designed for autofocus but need to be driven by the camera. Since they are designed for AF the focus ring tends to have quite a short throw compared to a lens designed to be manually focused. This makes them more difficult to focus accurately. D lenses have an aperture ring and can be stopped down versus or they can be stopped down automatically by the camera. In the latter case the aperture ring must be locked at the minimum aperture setting. These lenses tend to have more focus distance and DOF markings than the G lenses, which lack an aperture ring. I used to use a 50mm lens a lot on my 35mm film cameras. It was the standard lens that was typically sold with the camera back then, and was the only lens Versus owned for some while after I bought my first SLR camera. It provided what is known as the 'normal' field of view, being similar to normal human vision in terms of choice FOV. It can still be a useful focal length outdoor and framing for portraits puts it at a subject distance that is useful for portraits as long as the framing isn't too tight. The 35mm lens on DX provides an normal FOV and so choice used much like the 50mm was for 35mm film cameras and still is for FX. The Nikon 35mm f1. It is also quite affordable. I find I use it little though since I bought the Sigma mm f2. Every now and then I go out and shoot with just a couple of prime lenses. These two as like as not. Its not so much that they are sharper or that I need the wider apertures, as that it forces you to explore different view points and see subjects with different perspectives. That's between for static images, but almost unusable for insects. Its minimum focus distance, is about 6 making. In order for you to get nikon size images 1 to 1you have to get that close. It may be a fine lens otherwise; many macros are, but I would never purchase it as my macro lens. I choice prime lenses. I use a 35 and a 50 which are compact and well balanced. A 50 nikon lens is not the first lens that landscape photographers would think of selecting but it sure does the job nicely. Yes the 35 may be more useful for a DX format but don't discard the I am a firm believer that less is more and I find myself shooting with longer versus lengths. Also consider whether you will be upgrading soon to the FX format. The only gear I had at the moment. IMO you should decide based on how you plan to use it and once you decide that, it's an making choice. The 35mm is close to the "normal" 50mm on a full frame camera. The 50mm on a DX camera is actually a short telephoto. It's probably a smidge too wide to do the really tight head shots as you'll get a little subject or perspective distortion i. Honestly, I use the 50mm more. But that is because Making use these primes to take pics of the family during holiday, events, making or just daily life. I like to get somewhat tight. I feel most people shoot too far back in these situations, the subject doesn't "fill the frame enough". Here's some shots I posted recently with the 50mm. I think it's worth noting how much the subject the human takes up in the frame. DX Lens is for the DX the or APS-C camera. FX lens is for full-frame or FX camera. APS-C or full frame defines the size of the sensor, in the camera. If one uses an FX lens on a DX camera which is possible then the f stop value increases by a value called crop factor of 1. A full-frame mm lens on a DX body the the bonus of extra reach, equivalent to about mm Crop factor od 1. But put a wide-angle mm full-frame lens on an Dx camera and it will have an effective focal length of around mm, There by the wide angle capability is largely reduced. Makes for a better and more flattering image. Both the lens are good but 85mm lens has the edge over 40mm in two aspect. This will help you a lot during micro photography. If not then go for 40mm, it is not at all bad. The 35mm lens equates to a 50mm on DX. I personally find that 50mm is still slightly too long as a general use lens even on FX. I have an FX camera and use my 50mm only occasionally on my D Although I have sold it now I found my 42mm lens a great all round lens on my film camera. So somewhere between 35 and 42 is my favourite fl on FX. The 35mm DX lens is there to satisfy the demand for a 50mm equivalent and is priced accordingly so its nikon the best lens for your use, and there are no wider G prime lens on the same price barcket. In terms of macro I'd get a micro lens at around 90mm fl. This would be a good length for a short telephoto and also a great fl for portraits. Versus micro lens are good so just choose the and go with it. If you want a shorter one then there is 60mm but that has a very short working length. See I would disagree with you here. It's been on my camera pretty much non-stop since I bought it. But having said that, it does come down to personal preference and how you shoot. I like shooting a little longer than normal and favoured the long end of my kit. I still think 35 is more suited FL for the DX though, but that 's just me, I like wider not tighter. I don't do many portraits, not that good with shooting people. The Twitter YouTube Instagram Sign up for our weekly newsletter!
