| Which Nikon Lens should you choose? by Kent Photography "Here is what I would choose for myself for the different purposes. Of cause there are other alternatives, but these are what I would choose for myself." |
|
| The Essential Lens: 70-200mm f/2.8 - Why Every Serious Shooter Needs This Lens by Peter K. Burian "The primary reason you might want an f/2.8 telephoto is because it allows for shooting at faster shutter speeds. Granted, this may not be an issue on bright, sunny days even at f/5.6 when using ISO 200 for example. In much darker locations however, a wide aperture or "fast" lens can be a blessing." |
|
| In search of the perfect walkabout lens for Nikon DX by Kim Brebach "My top choices here are the Nikon 18-70 and 18-135mm. No, I’m not a starry-eyed Nikon acolyte. The 18-70mm is still a benchmark as I said at the beginning, and the 18-135mm is the lightest, lowest cost zoom offering this kind of range, accurate colour and tremendous sharpness of image. It is longer, lighter and much smaller than the 18-105mm VR, barely longer than the kit 18-55mm." |
|
| Tale 47 (Nikkor; The Thousand and One Nights): The Ai Zoom Nikkor 35-200mm F3.5-4.5S - Nikon's First High-Power Zoom Lens "Tale 47 discusses a lens developed at a time when many lens manufacturers were racing to develop zoom lenses. In this tale we will examine the thoughts of the designer and episodes that arose in the development of the Ai Zoom Nikkor 35-200mm F3.5-4.5S. What exactly led up to the development of this lens? Just how did it perform? Tale 47 brings to light the secrets of the Ai Zoom Nikkor 35-200mm F3.5-4.5S." |
|
| Lens Therapy: Nikon DX Lenses Under $300 - Phoblographer "A lot of Nikon photographers think they need to spend thousands, on lenses, to take great photos. They read all the information available and think they know the best of the best. However, they cannot always afford these lenses. Some even let this hold them back. They can though, save money or think differently, especially if they are Nikon DX shooters." |
|
| Value for money lenses for Nikon by Sujoy Das "Many photographers migrating from point and shoot cameras to a DSLR camera often complain about the huge investment required to be made in DSLR lenses. So to help them I am listing below some value for money Nikon lenses, many of which I have used myself." |

| Empower your hand-held shooting with our Vibration Reduction system - IamNikon blog "One of the many ways that our COOLPIX, Nikon 1 and D-SLR cameras help you to take steady and sharp images is by using VR (Vibration Reduction) technology. So today on the blog we thought we’d take a closer look into exactly how that technology works." |

| An unusual telephoto setup: Nikon Coolpix L3 mounted on a Nikon AP-5 automatic level, resulting in a telephoto lens equalling 2000+ mm - Nico van Dijk | |
| Four Ways to 400mm by Brad Hill "...Nikon released a much-improved version of their 2x tele-converter (the TC-20EIII - my field test for this TC here), which opened up many more ways for me (and many, many nature photographers) to get to 400mm. With the plethora of options to 400mm, the following question came to my mind: Which 400mm option would work best for me in any given field situation?" |
|
| The 200mm? by Moose Peterson "Why all the 200mm duplication? That’s a damn good question, seriously! Why would anyone have a duplication of focal length let along four times (counting the 70-180 which is purt near 200mm)?" |

| Mamiya Lens Hood – Because it looks cool! by Terry White "at the last Photoshop World Conference I saw a couple of my buddies using the Mamiya Lens Hood and at first glance I even questioned whether or not they if they were shooting with a "NEW" lens. I asked because for some reason the Mamiya Lens Hood looked more (and I don't know how else to put this) "professional"." |
