NIKON CAMERAS LENS PLUS

If you prefer so-called вЂstandardвЂ™ coverage at 50mm or thereabouts, thereвЂ™s currently two options in the native Z-mount: the Z 50mm f1.8 S and the Z 58mm f0.95 S Noct, and they couldnвЂ™t be more different. If youвЂ™re after something brighter, thereвЂ™s a bunch of higher-end, albeit heftier, 35mm f1.4 lenses available to adapt such as the Sigma 35mm f1.4 Art. The bokeh may not be the best around, but itвЂ™s a handy option and one that still out-performed adapting older 35mm f1.8 F-mount options from Nikon and Tamron see my Nikon Z 35mm f1.8 S review for more details. If you prefer using a mild wide-angle prime lens for general-purpose use, consider the Nikon Z 35mm f1.8 S, which offers a much brighter aperture than the zooms above. Alternatively if you fancy something longer still and donвЂ™t mind adapting an F-mount lens, then consider the Nikon 28-300mm f3.5-5.6G ED VR at a similar price, or the Tamron 28-300mm f3.5-6.3 Di VC for a little less. The super-zoom may lack the S indicator for the best quality, but it does offer a much broader 8.3x range, reaching much further without having to swap lenses. If you prefer to have a broader range at your disposal, the only option in the native mount is the Nikon Z 24-200mm f4-6.3 VR which is roughly similar in price to the Z 24-70mm f4 S. If you really want a 24-70mm f2.8 but canвЂ™t afford the Nikon options, consider adapting the F-mount versions of the Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 Art or Tamron 24-70mm f2.8, both available for around half the price of the native Nikon model. ItвЂ™s understandably larger, heavier and more expensive than the f4 model, but recommended you can afford it, and it also represents a step-up in quality over adapting the earlier 24-70mm f2.8E VR for F-mount.

As such itвЂ™s a no-brainer as a first lens, but the subsequent Z 24-70mm f2.8 S delivers sharper results, more attractive bokeh plus the benefits of an extra stop of aperture along with a handy OLED display see my Z 24-70mm f2.8 S review for more details. The Z 24-70mm f4 S has become the standard kit zoom for most of the full-frame Z bodies and delivers very good performance in a compact and light body вЂ“ plus the price is often heavily subsidised if you buy it at the same time as the camera see my Nikon Z 24-70mm f4 S review for more details. Starting with general-purpose zoom lenses for full-frame Z cameras, Nikon offers three options in the native Z-mount: the Z 24-70mm f4 S and Z 24-70mm f2.8 S which share the same range but differ in aperture, price and weight, and the Z 24-200mm f4-6.3 VR which offers a super-zoom range and optical stabilisation. If youвЂ™re using a DX-format camera, the field of view of all lenses, whether DX or FX, will be reduced by 1.5 times, so a 50mm would become equivalent to 75mm.ДЄbove: the Nikon Z7 with the Z 24-70mm f4 S lens You can fit any Z-lens to either type of camera, although lenses with DX in their title are only designed to be sharp over the smaller APSC area, so are not recommended for full-frame bodies unless you want to achieve a special effect. Z-series cameras are available with full-frame sensors, (known as FX in NikonвЂ™s terminology), or smaller вЂcroppedвЂ™ APSC sensors (known as DX by Nikon).

Nikon launched its Z-series full-frame mirrorless system in mid-2018, but while itвЂ™s relatively young, Nikon has been steadily building a catalogue of lenses starting with the basics along with some more exotic options that showcase what the system is capable of. As always IвЂ™ll link to my reviews and sample image galleries where available, along with including links to check the latest pricing.Д«est Z-mount lenses for Nikon Z mirrorless cameras Since the Z system is comparatively young, IвЂ™ll also include a handful of DSLR lenses in that guide as alternative options. This doesnвЂ™t work the other way round though, so itвЂ™s not possible to fit a Z lens onto a DSLR. First IвЂ™ll start with my Best Z-mount lenses for Nikon Z-series mirrorless cameras, followed by my Best F-mount lenses for Nikon DSLRs.ДЇ-mount DSLR lenses can also work with NikonвЂ™s mirrorless cameras using an optional adapter, so my DSLR lens guide equally applies to Z-series cameras and will provide lots of alternative models. IвЂ™m splitting this guide into two sections depending on whether you shoot with a Nikon mirrorless camera or a Nikon DSLR, and you can jump directly to each section as required. Welcome to my BuyerвЂ™s Guide to the Best Nikon Lenses! Whether you have a Nikon DSLR or mirrorless camera вЂ“ or both! вЂ“ youвЂ™ll find out which lenses I can personally recommend from Nikon, along with third-party manufacturers including Sigma, Tamron and Samyang.
