Hey guys,
New to the world of Nikon, I know nothing about what lenses are good or not, I read quite a lot about all the 50mm offerings for Nikon F mount since this is the equivalent focal length of what I use 80% of the time for all my work. Normally I shoot a medium format camera where a 70-80mm sort of has the same angle of view as a 50mm on fullframe/smallformat.
Now what I use most is the following Duo: 35mm and 70mm which is 28mm or 50mm on fullframe.
So since I have a Nikon Df with the following two 50mm lenses I also want a 28mm lens:
AF-S Nikkor 1:1.8 50mm G SE
Nikkor 1:1.2 50mm Ai-S
I've been thinking of the following lenses:
AF-S Nikkor 1:1.8 28mm G
Nikkor 1:2.0 28mm Ai-S
Zeiss Distagon T* 28mm 1:2.0 ZF.2 or ZF (don't care much about it having a CPU or not, and can always add a Dandelion CPU to the ZF mount.)
Now I know the Zeiss and Nikkor AF-S both have quite some curvature of field, which I really dislike... not for it's rendering, but practically... since it makes focussing more difficult.
On the other hand I can't find much valuable information about the Nikkor 28mm Ai-S.
If the lens has AF or not doesn't botter me much, but since the Nikon Df autofocus points are fairly concentrated in the middle it'll be difficult using an autofocus lens with curvature in the field since I'll always have to focus and recompose. (I do have a K3 matte screen for my Df...)
Anyway let me know your guys thoughts on the matter.
Thanks!
