I was torn between the two as well. I decided to save the money and buy the D. I have been very pleased with it. It is by far the sharpest lens I have ever owned. I know the G is supposed to be optically better from what I have read, but I don't know how noticable it would be unless your were looking side by side. Brian: It's that part about optically better that prompted me to start the thread. All the features don't really matter that much given that my primary camera can fully use the D-series lens.
But what I'm concerned with is that I'm comprimising optical quality if I buy the cheaper lens. Is there any documentation of a difference? I wasn't able to find any. I am starting to think I should keep the 1. Neither of these two The 35mm DX is way sharper. The comments about image sharpness in the corners are really a non-starter unless your entire scene is at infinity or you are shooting brick walls head on.
Any minor sharpness issue when shooting a test target is not going to be of any importance in the real world unless you're a measurebator. Anyway the OP is using a DX sized sensor so these non-issues are well outside the image circle in this case. I have already compared this image with others taken by me with the AFS, and that out of focus rings looks pretty similar. The green line on the seat back makes me wonder about the AFD or the Sigma , it seems to me that it should not be as worse with the AFS.
I absolutely agree with you. You must log in or sign up to reply here. Show Ignored Content. Share This Page Tweet. This is the closest distance that the lens can focus.
A shorter minimum focus distance allows you to get closer to your subject, and is particularly important when doing macro photography. Benchmarks 1. The sharpness result from the DxOMark set of metrics. This result is based on the MTF modulation transfer function measurement, and gives an overall indication of the sharpness of images produced by the lens.
Tested with Nikon D or Canon 7D. Source: DxOMark. The lateral chromatic aberration result from the DxOMark set of metrics. Chromatic aberration is a type of distortion which results in color fringing along edges within the image.
The transmission result from the DxOMark set of metrics. Transmission refers to the amount of light that reaches the sensor through all of the glass elements of a lens, with a lower TStop signifying more light. This is important as less light reaching the sensor can lead to the requirement of higher ISOs or slower shutter speeds. The vignetting result from the DxOMark set of metrics. Vignetting refers to when the brightness of an image changes from the center towards the edges, resulting in darkened corners.
A result of 0 is perfect and the image will have no vignetting. DxOMark score DxOMark is a set of tests to measure the performance and quality of lenses and cameras. The DxOMark score is the overall score given to the lens.
The distortion result from the DxOMark set of metrics. Distortion in the lens refers to the variation of magnification throughout the image. More distortion will result in straight lines being recorded incorrectly in the image. Which are the best Nikon camera lenses? This page is currently only available in English.
It is nice and compact and can easily slip in a pocket. Yes, my 2 cents worth for free - I shoot the 1. Smaller size, less cost and look at the respective MTF charts on the nikonusa.
Just sayin' As noted above the 1. If it matters, which you may know, the D has a traditional aperture ring and the G does not. That may or may not matter to you. Good luck deciding. It has more of a film look. I also picked up a Nikon 20 mm f 2. Other than the "D" means these lenses let the camera know the distance at which the lens is focused. Plus, it's even less costly
