  • Just wanna ask. Which do you think would be better for portraits? 105mm vr macro or 105mm DC? thanks

  • Comment removed

  • SO...

    if I want a lens with 50mm field of view on my DX body? The 50mm fx lens gives me 75mm, and the 35mm dx lens gives me.. 35mm. What about a "real" 50mm? Have I understood this completely wrong?

    Would be very grateful for an answer!

  • @niggab00b2007 the 35mm gives you 52.5mm, you still apply the crop factor on DX lenses, they just can't be used on FX.

  • @Kmanmarr Thanks! 

  • @Kmanmarr You can use the 35mm DX on an FX body, there is just a small amount of Vignetting.

  • "The 105mm macro has nicer bokeh than the 85mm 1.8"

    Yep, this guy is drunk, high and queer.

  • My thoughts against this guy:

    1. "Bokah" - 1:17, 3:41, 6:29,

    2. "Vignetting" - 1:42

    3. The 50mm f/1.4 is twice as expensive as the f/1.8 and it doesn't perform as well as the f/1.8. There's no need to pay so much more for such little more light.

    4. He keeps on repeating the same thing again and again.

    5. He turns English at 5:40.

  • @Synnergy08 50mm 1.4 = FX lens = apr. 75mm on DX body = good for portraits = good for you if you shoot lots of portraits. There´s unfortunately not a lot to chose from if you´re into shooting portraits with a DX sensor. So, his advice is pretty good ;)

  • @7mt7 I know all that. And how is there not a lot to choose from? You've got the 35mm, the 40mm, that works great, the 50s are perfect, the 85mm is absolutely amazing, the 105s work great, especially the macro and the 135mm f/2DC is very different, yet it's a very interesting lens to use, thanks to the defocus control. There is plenty to choose from, I'm sure I've missed other great lenses for portraits. Also, all focal lengths, even on DX only lenses must be multiplied by the 1.5x crop factor.

  • "vig-netting".

    I thought it was pronounced like, "vinyetting". I guess it depends where you're from.

  • Does the 35mm become a 52mm on a DX camera?

  • Back when I had the D7000 I had the 35mm 1.8 and it was very good. I almost miss it.

  • bookah? :P

  • @DearGraceWithLove It's usually Bokeh. It means blur.

  • You can say the 50mm f/1.4 is like a 75mm f/1.4 on DX, but that's not entirely true, because the depth of field on the DX body will be far greater, and therefore the isolating properties of the lens aren't as good.

    It's a shame, Nikon still haven't released a fast portrait lens (i.e. something equal to the 85mm f/1.4, so say an AF-S 55mm f/1.2), and maybe never will.

    The AF-S 35mm might be very sharp, but in every other area it is eclipsed by the older 35mm f/2.

  • Nice one :) ,i have the both bodies and all of these lenses but I prefer the 24mm 2.8 AF-D as it gives me much sharper images of landscapes on D7K (equal to 36mm) ,you should add the 85 F1.8 AF-D as it is a super sharp portrait and landscape lens too,or the new non tested version 85 1.8 G :) ...cheers !

  • hey matt, I'm really confused i wanna buy a prime lens but i can't pick between the 35mm and 50mm which one do you think i should get

  • @TheMylittleeye This isn't true at all. Pro photographers are photographers that get paid to take photographs. Wedding photographers are professional photographers. They don't have to be endorsed by anyone so I have no idea where you got that from.

  • i have sooo many numbers floating through my head atm lol

  • @TheMylittleeye Rude, to say the least.

  • Comment removed

  • Het Matt, how's the 20mm compared to the Tokina 11-16 on a DX body?

  • The Nikon 28mm f 1.4 that ran from 1994 to 2006 was a legend and was known for being as sharp at 1.4 as other apertures. It has become the most expensive second hand lens now and was selling for $3500 back in 2009, but I`m not sure how much it is these days.

  • @5:38

    

  • These are cheap and sharp lenses. Nikon 35mm 1.8g and rokinon 85mm 1.4(manual only)

  • @TheMylittleeye hey retard d7000 body is actually $1199 ur just off by $500 go fuck off just because u spend more money on something doesn't show how good u are lol pussy

  • @GreekGotSwag Rude, to say the least.

  • I can't help but laugh at these people who don't think he's legit because he doesn't have the most expensive lenses. Granted this guy isn't the most knowledgable, but you don't have to have the top of the line lenses to be "legit". I'm 16, and i'm on a budget. My d300S + rokinon 85 1.4 manual focus isn't the best kit, but its gotten multiple of my images on Getty. So how about you get off of your high horse and don't base legitimacy on gear.

  • @JustinIGilliland Keep it up dude, I started photography a few years ago, it takes practice and getting up and doing what you are supposed to.

  • @JustinIGilliland im using a d7000 with the kit lens haha hoping to buy the nikkor 35mm 1.8 lens because im broke and also thinking of buying the 70-300mm fx lens to get super mega zoom with a dx body :) awwwwwww yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • "VIG"netting...haha

  • what about a 50mm f1.8G?

  • @doran22 He mentions it at the end of the video, positively recommending it.

  • thanks for all your videos! I am waiting for my 35mm f/1.8 to go with my D7000

  • awesome vid thanks bro, definitly help me decide on my lense i'm actually on my way to pick up a 50mm

  • Matt as again, remember f does not stand for speed. It is how much light lens passing to the sensor. f1.8 is passing more light than f2.8. However it does not mean that f1.8 is faster than f2.8 When we talk about speed we are talkign about auto focus system or shutter speed.

    Thank you.

  • @krasav4ik82 Yes you are correct in shutter speed. But in the pro world of film and photography we talk about speed of lenses as fast lenses meaning wide open or its aperture. So the lower f# factor is is its speed/fast of that lens usually only used in reference to prime lenses with fixed apertures. DP to AD or Best Boy (depending on what side of the pond your on) "give me the fastest we have think I need it for this shot". So the wider the aperture the faster the lens is.

  • @krasav4ik82 On the same camera, same ISO, same time, same place, same light ... the aperture of the lens is what enables you to have a faster shutter speed if you are inclined to shoot wide open so it's not 100% incorrect to say it's a "fast" lens. It's more of a colloquialism, I'll give you that .. but it is still common usage. I'll also add that prime lenses are inherently "faster" than zooms due to their interior simplicity.

    Nice vid btw, I have the 35/1.8 and the 105/2.8 .. awesome lenses.

  • I was struggling to decide whether to get the 35mm 1.8g or 50mm 1.8d/g. Gee now I have to get both. :)

  • @Piitsi Sounds like someone is developing NAS (Nikon Acquisition Syndrome). :D

    Welcome aboard! Beware that I'm already with a $10.000 bag that just seems to be getting more expensive every month. :o

  • sounds douchey.

  • It's pronounced "bo-kay", and "vin-yet", the "g" is silent.

    Additionally, I've spent a lot of time looking for lenses and found that the referrals and reviews that Ken Rockwell does for his site are great as far as bang for your buck, honest reviews etc.

    Personally I don't need an f2.8 lens. The sharpest you will find your lens producing an image is at f5.6-f8. Therefore the majority of my images are in that range. Don't need 2.8? Save money and get an f3.5-f4. Good vid :)

  • the whole "bokah" thing is making me lol

  • the 35mm f1.8 is really 35mm on a DX body?

  • @AmitMusicStaz Yes, regardless what some "experts" say. I shot as well the 35/2 which is a full format lens - same field of view than the 35/1.8. The crop-factor 1.5 means only that the 1.5 times smaller sensor gives a FOV like a 1.5 times longer lens on a FX sensor. The focal length designation is physical property and not adjusted for lenses that aren't capable to illuminate a full frame sensor.

  • Since the 35mm f1.8 G DX is designed for cropped sensor dslr it will have a 35mm field of view there is no crop factor. 2:31

  • @1njdunn This is simply wrong, 35mm is 35mm, DX only says that the lens will vignette on FX bodies

  • Comment removed

  • @carstensaager No @1njdunn is right the lens is designed to give 35mm on a DX body. If you were right and if the 35mm DX would be the same as a 35mm FX then on a DX body you'd get a 52.5mm lens which is just wrong since you really get 35mm.

  • Just ordered one for my d7000 :)

  • Thanks bro...now I get it. I guess D7000 falls under DX body. Thanks to the both of u.

  • Question Whats DX and FX mean?  Anybody...

  • @Denso2131 DX is the cropped sensor of Nikon bodies and FX is the full frame (35 mm film) sensor size.

  • 1) 10.5mm "fisheye" F/2.8 AF G; (180 degrees)

    2) 35mm f/1.8 AF-S G (looks like a nifty fifty on DX)

    3) 50mm f/1.8 AF-D ($120!)

    4) 200mm f/4 AF-D ED (if you can afford it).

    or

    Just get the 18-200VR, and the fisheye if you can afford it.

  • so 35 1.8 or 50 1.4?

  • A 105mm lens stays a 105mm lens no matter on what body you put it.

    I whish people stop confusing people saying that it becomes a 160mm.

    Its just a 105mm photo with a crop.

  • @pfeitosa

    Yes that is right a 105mm lens is just a 105mm lens. No matter what body it is on.

    If cant turn into a 160mm lens. A 105mm lens is not magnifying to 160mm or something it just magnifies as 105mm simply because it is a 105mm lens.

    If you think to buy a nikkor 70-300mm for your Nikon DX body dont expect to cheapskate to a 450mm lens. Those birds will be just as far away on your DX camera as on your FX camera. On DX it crops the edges of the photo thats all.

  • BOKAH!

  • Have you jizzed on you Nikon today?

  • really dude, "vig-netting?" vignette. it sounds like "vin-yet." you're clearly super canadian, so you obviously had french forced on you. there is no excuse for that level of laziness. step your game up.

    also, "bokaahhhhh" sounds idiotic as a million other people said.

  • Hi, can you please tell which lens are best for travel and outdoor, to shoot outdoor pics as well as closeup pics, i am new to DSLR and unable to decide which lens to get for NikonD7000,

  • Matt, I wondering what you think of the new Nikon 50mm 1.8G compared to the new Nikon 50mm 1.4G. Do you think it is better value for money to get the 1.8G instead of the 1.4? thanks.

  • I just ordered a D7000 yesterday. I plan to use mine mainly for video purposes. What primes would you suggest for video use? Would I be okay with say a 35mm, 50mm, and a 85mm?

  • I'll suggest some older ones that work great on the d7000:

    24mm f2 ais

    58mm f1.2 noct nikkor

    300mm f4.5 IF ED ais

  • do you work for nikon

  • Awesome, I'm getting the D7000 next month with the 105mm f2.8 lens and I already have the 35mm f1.8 on my D60. But don't have the 50mm or the 20mm.

  • Comment removed

  • what an obnoxious dude

  • Thanks for the review. Have you tested the Sigma 50mm 1.4? Just wondering what you think of the lens for the d7000

    Thanks

  • @TexezRose I own Sigma and D7000 and it's really good lens (even wide open) with a nice bokeh.

  • nonsense 100%BS

  • @teceteri what is?

  • so all lenses fantastic lenses right ?

  • Hi Matt, what is the difference between your Top 3 lenses and Top 4 Prime lenses? IF price is not a factor, can you recommend the Best 3 lenses I should buy with the D7000?  Thank you .

  • I can't agree on the AF 20mm 2.8D lens as being a good choice for the D7000. It's the good AF-D style, however, performance isn't quite good. It's quite soft at 2.8 and get an acceptable sharpness at around f6.3. The one I had was weird in terms of focussing. The whole image would wobble quite a lot when the focus was trying to lock-on. Not a prime, but the 16-85 is a wonderful choice if you need a little more wide angle, or the Tokina 11-16, which we've had great results with.

  • listen to 5:38, dude your voice turns british! thumbs up!

  • Comment removed

  • Matt quick question? I currently own the Nikon D7000 chose this over the D3100 and very happy I did. I currently use nikon 16-85mm , 70-300mm, 35mm and a Tokina 11-16mm. I'm in the market for a macro lens and have heard good things about the Tokina 100mm? I've been comparing it to the Nikon 105mm but that's $500 more which i'd rather spend on lighting and flashes or perhaps get a dedicated portrait lens? I currently have aSB400 flash and would like to know where I might look at upgradiing?

  • What lens would be good in low light conditions in clubs or indoor events?

    I need to zoom in and out.

    Great video!

  • your both reviews are excelents, but it take long to find it, you should change the video title (both) starring by: Nikon D7000

  • Bokeh....

  • awesome video again. thanks)

  • Did youi say Bokah instead of Bokeh ?

  • @MrJubblegum he did and?

  • @MrJubblegum that was the correct pronunciation, Japanese FYI (bo-kah)

  • @NixxerJixxerWixxer

    +1

    That is correct (Japanese origin). I find it interesting that some people are more concerned about analyzing his pronunciation than his choice of lenses. ;-)

    The 50mm 1.8G and 24mm (or 20mm) f/2.8D would make two great starting primes for the D7000. With the money saved, put it toward a good flash, etc. (SB700 or 900). I've enjoyed my 18-200mm VR but these two primes give superior IQ, minimal distortion (a problem with the 18-200) and I love the shallow DOF.

  • @NixxerJixxerWixxer At least someone in this thread gets it

  • @MrJubblegum

    actually i think he said bukkake

  • @MrJubblegum I think its because Americans like to give things there own names. I hear alot of Americans say Bokah, plus most call Nikon Nike-on lol.

  • @MrJubblegum If you want to be picky, it comes from the French "bouquet", which sounds like "bee-oo-keh".

  • @MrJubblegum that is actually how bokeh is pronounced

  • @MrJubblegum And did you type youi instead of you? We all make mistakes.

  • @MrJubblegum well he also insists on saying "nighkon" which is wrong.
