Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8

Da var den endlig i posten, 50 mm objektivet som regnes for et rent røverkjøp. Objektivet som koster like mye brukt som nytt.

Har lest mange stester av dette obektivet, og alle som en skryter. Ikke minst pga prisen. Mitt kostet 995,- kroner. Kjøpte ekstra solblender til 200,- kroner.

Denne testen av objektivet forteller sitt tydelige språk.

“The Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.8 D is a low profile lens with less sex-appeal than the big glass but it is an interesting lens nonetheless. At wide-open aperture it is a little soft at the image borders and the contrast level is a little on the low side. However, at medium aperture settings the resolution figures are exceptionally high and surely a benchmark to beat. Distortions are negligible and vignetting is very well controlled. The build quality of the lens is very decent and the AF performance leaves nothing to be desired. “

Bjørn Rørslett skriver følgende om objektivet:

“A small, cheap and unobtrusive lens with an outstanding optical performance – can anyone wish for more? This petite Nikkor delivers the goods with a snap and clarity many lenses could – or better – should, envy. Wide open there is a trace of softness into the corners that disappears by stopping down to f/2.8. From f/4 to f/8 its performance hardly can be improved. I have obtained decent results even at f/22. The multi-coating layers on this lens gives it much better contrast and colour saturation than the E-series derivative.”

Det blir spennede å ta portrettbilder med dette objektivet.  Har allerede saumfart flickr, og funnet masse flotte bilder som er tagget med navnet på dette objektivet.
