• 16:26, 26 July 2021 Kgf talk contribs uploaded File:Nikon35 farm.jpg (The Nikon 35 on a full frame camera, like the Nikon D850 here, is actually decently wide and can be the only lens you carry. If you need a tighter shot, try cropping. See File:Nikon35_farm_300.jpg for a crop of this picture equivalent to the field of view for a <kbd>300mm</kbd> lens.)

This one is for the sharpness fanatics. If the picture you take with this lens is not sharp it is not the fault of the lens (well it usually isn't).)

This is one of those strange things, you may have many lenses that are more expensive and higher quality, but the Nikon 50 (or the Nikon 35) are remarkably good lenses, I am always positively surprised with the quality of the pictures I get from this lens.)

• 14:55, 19 July 2021 Kgf talk contribs uploaded File:Nikon105 butterfly.jpg (Beautiful colored butterfly captured by a Nikon 105 on an APS-C camera (Nikon D500) which effectively makes this a lens with <kbd>150mm</kbd> focal length. Still I am too far away from the subject to actually make use of the macro capability. This is one of the reasons why you sometimes want a longer macro lens like the Nikon 200, when you can not approach your subjects so easily.)

• 14:39, 19 July 2021 Kgf talk contribs uploaded File:Nikon18 200 flower.jpg (This is using the very light Nikon 18-200. Older zooms like the Nikon 70-210 usually had a macro mode at the lower end of their range allowing you to come close. Newer universal zooms like the Nikon 18-200 have quite short minimum focus distance allowing you quite high reproduction ratios. A true macro would allow you to fill the entire screen with this flower, but in most cases, this is a framing you want to be going for.)

Here it even gives a bit of automatic cropping to make this picture look like it was taken with a macro lens.)

• 13:46, 19 July 2021 Kgf talk contribs uploaded File:Nikon200 rose.jpg (This is a handheld shot using the Nikon 200 on a Nikon D850. While the lens is a macro lens, this shot is actually using it as a regular long lens. The result looks OK, but this is a tricky shot, since you are (relatively) close to the flower, you need a smaller aperture so that you have enough depth of field . This in turn requires a longer exposure which is partially compensated with a higher ISO of <kbd>1250</kbd>.)

Although this is a macro lens, this shot does not really use its macro capability, this was shot more like a long lens.)

A bit darker, a bit more vivid in color tone, but just a max zoom (at <kbd>300</kbd>), hand held and probably what is more important, one of just two shots of this scene.)

(The focal length on the EXIF is not accurate, this is at <kbd>60mm</kbd>). Combined with the ridiculous macro mode gives this lens a very unusual range for using. It would have been nicer if it was a bit wider than it was long. Still this very cheap lens allow you to take quite good pictures. Do not blame your lenses for poor shots.)

• 13:51, 12 July 2021 Kgf talk contribs created page File:Tamron60-300 scene.jpg (Unfortunately, the Tamron 60-300 does not have a hard stop at infinity, this is slightly annoying for landscape shots like this, because you have to dial back the focus a bit. It works of course, but it is one more thing to keep in mind while using this lens.)

This is a 2:1 crop from the center File:Tamron60-300_raspberry.jpg. Shot in macro mode, if you are patient and have a calm hand it will allow you to make shots like these. Using a 45 Megapixel camera is probably not helping for this.)

• 16:59, 11 July 2021 Kgf talk contribs uploaded File:Nikon35-105 flowers.jpg (When people talk about the sharpness of a lens, they want to emphasize how good the lens is in the center versus its edges.

Taken with a manual focus Nikon 35-105 on a APS-C camera (the Nikon D500), note that the EXIF data is not always accurate as this is an older lens without a CPU. Despite its age, this lens is really good.)
