Hi,
I intend to buy (I think) 2 prime lenses.
Not so expensive stuff, just good, pretty light sensitive and very sharp...
That's pretty much my requirements.
As far as I have read, my choices would be a Nikon AF-S 24 mm F1.8 and Tamron SP 85 mm f/1.8 Di VC USD(Model F016).
To use on my D850. The 24 mm, a smaller and lighter combo for urban area. Shorter as a 20 to 24 mm gives too much distortion, I don’t want to deal with that.
The 85 mm for a bit longer work, man/street photography or maybe portraits.
Are these lenses in the opinion of the more experienced, good choices?
I like those pretty little AF D models, but they don’t get good numbers from DXO...
According to DXO the results of the AF-S 24 mm and the Tamron 35 mm lens are nearly the best in this length, very good, very sharp.
But, strange (in my opinion), I can’t find a used 24 mm on the Internet.
It this lens so good that no one sells it...?
Or does this lens have dark sides, so that no one buys this lens and therefore there are no secondhand 24 mm AF-S lenses for sale...?
My zooms are a Tamron 24-70, a Tamron 28-300 and a Sigma 150-600 C.
Thanks.
