I found myself in situations when I was glad I could mount this lens on my D750 and get decent results (such as night photos of architecture). When the sun was in the frame, I could not get any nasty ghosting, flare, or any significant loss of the micro-contrast. ISO Sensitivity: ISO 400, Flash Device: Built-in Flash, Flash Sync Mode: Front Curtain, Color Space: sRGB, High ISO NR: ON (Normal), Picture Control: [SD] STANDARD, Base: [SD] STANDARD, Edited Using: Nikon ViewNX 2, Photographer and Editor: Viraj Brian Wijesuriya. Then, if you decide to sell, MPB will pick up your kit with a free insured DPD collection and you’ll get paid cash into your account within days. With no switches on the lens barrel itself, there’s no chance of accidentally changing settings when you want to take the shot.

My fault, obviously, but I just want to highlight that it is easier to forget about this with AF-P lenses.Originally from the UK, Martin suddenly found himself within easy traveling distance of locations some photographers can only dream of visiting, like Vietnam, Thailand and Myanmar. I am not very happy about this since quite a few partly compatible bodies (such as D7100) do not support this feature, so VR cannot be turned off. Image quality is pretty good too; results are sharp in the centre even wide open, and improve further on stopping down to F8, with the corners not far behind.

Vibration reduction is generally recommended when the camera is mounted on a tripod, although you may prefer to turn it off depending on shooting conditions and the type of tripod.Camera technical details can get complicated quickly, but we all need a place to start before diving into the deep end. When attaching or removing the hood, hold it near the symbol on its base and avoid gripping it too tightly. When used on DX cameras, it sees the same angle of view as a 28~85mm lens sees when used on a 35mm or FX full-frame camera. Apochromatic lenses have special lens elements (aspheric, extra-low dispersion etc) to minimize the problem, hence they usually cost more. A button on the zoom ring releases the lens along with rotating the zoom ring and the process is reversed to fold it back in.

Nikon reserves the right to change the appearance and specifications of the hardware and software described in this manual at any time and without prior notice.Even if this lens does not feature any high-end Nano Crystal Coating, it still does a great job dealing with direct light. Two Aspherical lens elements achieve superior optical performance, giving your photos and videos rich, vibrant colors, deep contrast, minimal distortion and beautiful soft backgrounds, even in less than ideal conditions. The blue column represents readings from the centre of the picture frame at the various apertures and the green is from the edges. There's even a 50% chance of getting a usable shot at shutter speeds as low as 1/3 sec, which is essentially impossible handheld without stabilisation. The focus ring can also be used to focus the camera if the shutter-release button is kept pressed halfway (or if the AF-ON button is kept pressed); this is known as “autofocus with manual override” (M/A).
