Nikon AF 24mm F2.8

Will anyone recommend this len for general shooting of group of people ? Any comment??

Any good and bad?

[leegc]

I had this lens for only a short while because I was not entirely happy with it. The major weakness is that it's very prone to flares under bright lights. It may sometimes appear to be somewhat soft as it's not designed for digital cameras. In fact, a cheap "kit" zoom lens such as the 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 may appear to be sharper under the right conditions! Hope this helps!

is it really that bad ? Any other C Hing comment?

[bikram]

I really want to consider this len since it will be used for general purpose, protrait and scenery and it is very light and handy. 17-55mm F2.8 is a bit heavy. Also, it will not have "black corner" if used internal flash. It will be more convenient for me for shooting outdoor, indoor (with flash or without flash). Sometimes, when i shoot with 17-55mm using internal flash for light compensation, it will have "black corner" if shooting at 24mm below. So If I used this 24mm, there is no need to worry about the "black corner".

小弟就很喜歡此鏡, 由其喜其color 及 sharp. 在f2.8光圈下成像仍然滿意
24mm *1.5 = 36mm 可以作為一支實用的輕便鏡.

Kanji. Thanks for your photo sharing. It is so wonderful. Is there any other wider picture rather than a bit close up picture? I want to have people inside and more background to see the result of this len. Thanks a lot..

BIKRAM 兄

wide picture 印象中好像沒有用定焦拍過, 因為用定焦通常我會影一d 大光圈的 close up 相片. 因為如果用來影 wide 的相片( 我估計你的意思是影 風景吧? ) 通常要配合細光圈拍攝, 但當一用細光圈,如 f8 以上, 我覺得 定焦 或 kit 鏡 都沒有意義了. 因為 定焦的強刊在於大光圈及很美的淺景深的表現. hope can help u

BY F2.8 拍攝的

如果 bikram 兄主要是拍攝 wide 的相片 (如 細光圈的風景相片), 小弟則建議無需要使用呢d 大光圈的定焦鏡.

Thanks Kanji. Is this dog shot by 24mm at F2.8. It is with great color. I suppose you do not use flash , right? All I need wide picture is that I usually shot family photos with quite a lot of people, say 10-20 people or shooting one person with a bit more background. If I use this len, some comment is that if the people is near to the far right or far left of the photo, it will cause distortion. Is it true?

[bikram]

I understand that this len is not suitable for 細光圈的風景相片. However, I need this len for snap shot, like building, people in the street, family photos(for 10-20 people) or shooting with one person with a bit more background. Is this len suitable?

有很多朋友都有說過此鏡頭有小小變形, 我覺得變型是有的但可以接受, 而且用在 DSLR 上 CHOP 左四邊, 變型則更少.可以說接近沒有

Thans for your comment. Kanji...Now I have confidence to buy len for fun...
