最值得关注的8款-----尼康经典镜头
无论是数码单反相机还是镜头,尼康都是佳能最有力的竞争者。(www.61k.com)特别是在低端镜头方面,尼康镜头的做工仍一丝不苟,手感也非常出色,价格也相对厚道;而在高端镜头方面,虽然不如佳能的红圈白炮那么亮骚,但尼康镜头的成像可以说是与佳能平分秋色的,何况尼康其实也有自己的“白炮”,甚至比佳能的“白炮”更吸引眼球(尽管产量很少,价格也比黑色版本的要贵上一些)。 当然,因为F卡口(44mm)的内径比EF卡口(54mm)小了整整10mm,所以在大光圈镜头方面尼康就逊色多了,尽管尼康历史上有过AIS 300mm F2.0 ED、Noct-Nikkor 58mm F1.2这样的经典镜头,但即使是旁轴镜头最大光圈也只做到50mm F1.1(相观老对手佳能,Canon的标头达到了史无前例的50mm F0.95),目前在产镜头中更是没有一款最大光圈超过F1.2的。不过,抛开大光圈情结不谈,尼康镜头跟佳能镜头应该是平分秋色的,偏爱哪家就看价格和个人喜好了。
尼康镜头种类繁多
尼康早期镜头的做工那是没话说(当然佳能也如此),即使是最低端的镜头亦用料十足。不过,过渡到AF时代后,尼康镜头也开始偷工减料了,生产了一批无论是做工还是成像都很次的“狗头”;而在更新换代方面尼康也明显落后于佳能,在超声波马达、防抖等新技术的应用方面更是如此。当然,在价格方面,尼康镜头相比佳能还是有一定的优势的,这也是很多钱包不是很鼓的摄影爱好者更青睐尼康的原因。譬如,尼康D70的套头AF-S DX 18~70mm F3.5~4.5G ED无论是价格、做工还是成像都是数码单反相机配套镜头的典范;AF35-70 F2.8D、AF80-200 F2.8D N这两个恒定F2.8光圈的新头价格也在6000元以下,相比而言佳能的F2.8光圈镜头就要贵多了。
在二手市场上,尼康AF35-70 F2.8D这个镜头2000元左右随处可见,而“小钢炮” AF80-200 F2.8D从一代到三代都一直是二手市场上的抢手货。此外,花1000元左右的价格就能淘到成色、成像都很不错的镜头,譬如AF70-210mm F4.5-5.6D等。手动镜头更是不计其数,包括卡尔?蔡司的ZF镜头,当然前提是你最好拥有D200或者D2X这样的机身,不然对焦、测光这两大问题就够你头疼的。
今天,笔者就选取了市场上口碑、性价比都很不错的几款尼康AF老镜头,
尼康小钢炮 最值得关注的8款-----尼康经典镜头
“钻石”恒久远!AF20-35mm f2.8D
“钻石恒久远,一颗永流传”,尼康“钻石广角”AF20-35mm f2.8D也跟这句广告词一样经典。(www.61k.com]该头第一片镜片使用的是精制研磨的非球面镜片,尼康对这种镜片的使用非常吝啬,总共只有3只镜头得到了垂青(另两只是Noct-Nikkor 58mm F1.2和AF28mm F1.4D)。
该镜头镜身采用皱纹漆,质感和做工都很不错,手感很好,重量也适中(只有585g)。全焦段全开光圈都能拍出优异的影像,堪比定焦,被一些尼康粉丝称为“定焦杀手”,锐度、对比度都很高,20mm端最大光圈锐度略有下降,且有轻微的枕形畸变,收缩到24mm畸变控制就非常理想。该头抗炫光能力非常出色,这也一直是尼康的强项。尽管没有采用超声波马达,但对焦速度并不慢,只不过对焦声音略大。M/A环容易断裂,这也是早期尼康镜头的通病,使用过程中要小心;另外,最近对焦距离达到0.5m,有点远;20mm的广角在APS-C画幅的数码单反相机上变成了30mm,广角优势不再,这也是很多摄影爱好者出该头进“金广角”AF-S 17-35mm F2.8D ED的原因之一。
该头上市价格近14000元,目前9成新的价格在5000元左右,性价比还算不错。不过,因为炒作的原因,该头二手成交价格有上涨的趋势,一旦尼康全画幅数码单反相机问世,笔者预计还有上涨的可能。
色彩媲美德头!AF35-70mm F2.8D
该头1987年上市,有D型镜头(支持3D矩阵测光)和非D型镜头(不支持3D矩阵测光)之分。那时的标准变焦镜头广角端往往是35mm起步,其他厂家早已停产这类镜头,只有尼康AF35~70mm F2.8D近两年刚刚停产,也算是一个奇迹了。
这只镜头并没有采用ED超低色散镜片或非球面镜片,外观也显得朴实无华,特别是遮光罩,样子丑陋。不过,成像却毫不含糊,镜头评测权威网站photodo对它的MTF评分为3.8分,比尼康后来推出的“镜皇”AF-S 28-70mm F2.8D ED
尼康小钢炮 最值得关注的8款-----尼康经典镜头
还高出0.1分,令人大跌眼镜。(www.61k.com]该镜头在F8时分辨率和反差达到最高,直逼定焦,在F8时的表现甚至超越了AF-S 28-70mm F2.8D ED。即使全开光圈成像也相当出色,不过,边缘部分的分辨率和反差都有明显下降,收缩到F4时画质即有大幅的提高,F5.6和F8则是最佳光圈。该头35mm端的成像更是堪比定焦。在畸变控制上,这只镜头也控制得相当好,只在35mm端有极轻微的桶形畸变。另外,它采用了尼康的SIC超级综合镀膜技术,色彩还原能力出众,有德头的味道,被很多摄影爱好者称为“最接近德国镜头的日产镜头”。另外,它还有1:4的微距功能,不过只能手动对焦。
不过该头缺点也一样明显:推拉变焦设计,容易进灰;中间有一片镜片容易起雾,且无法清洗,不过好在后期的镜头改正了这一毛病;最近对焦距离达到0.6m,且对焦声音很大,暗部对焦能力也很弱;70mm端最大光圈成像很肉。 该头不带D的9成新价格在2000元左右,有轻微起雾的甚至1500元就可以拿下。带D版本的相对贵一些,3000元就能买到成色非常不错的。新头目前市场上也还能买到,在5000元左右。需要注意的是,该头容易起雾,最好经常拿出去拍拍,或者放在防潮箱内。这个焦段还可以考虑AF24-85mm F2.8-4D,不过与该头相比无论是焦段(用在数码单反相机上)、光圈、价格还是成像都没有太大的优势。
人像景深控制!AF135mm F2D DC
DC是Defocus-Image Control(景深控制)的简称,尼康特有的镜头,与美能达135STF类似。顾名思义,通过操作DC散焦环,可以调节被摄主体前后的虚化程度(光圈越大虚化效果越明显),以创造更具个人风格的影像。
该头采用全金属镜身,做工精良,烤漆考究,手感亦佳,不过也稍微重了一些,重量达到了815g。成像质量更是一流,焦内锐利,焦外柔和,色调稍偏暖,更适合人像拍摄。全开光圈成像有点肉,收缩到F2.8即非常锐利,浅景深的效果更胜AF105mm F2D DC。另外,它采用9片光圈叶片设计,拥有完美的焦外成像,非常适合人像拍摄,是很多人梦寐以求的顶级人像镜头。
不过,该头之所以不如AF85mm F1.4D那么受欢迎,除了F1.4的大光圈和85mm焦段更适合APS数码单反相机外,难以控制景深恐怕也是一大原因。比起美能达135STF来,该头景深控制更加困难,上手不太容易,焦外过渡也不如135STF自然。另外,容易进灰、M/A环容易断裂这些尼康早期AF镜头老生常谈的问题,该头也同样存在。此外,该头的价格相对普通消费者高了一点,不过比起被炒红起来的AF85mm 1.4D还是要便宜一些。9成新带D的该头二手价格在5000元左右,不带D的老版要略便宜一些,带D的新头价格则在7000多元。
唯一的变焦微距!AF70-180mm F4.5-5.6D ED Micro
尼康小钢炮 最值得关注的8款-----尼康经典镜头
尼康于1997年发布的这只镜头是世界上首只AF变焦微距镜头,据笔者所知也依然是目前独一无二的专门为微距摄影制作的全程微距变焦镜头,最大放大倍率为1:1.33,在180mm端配合No.6T近摄镜片更是可以达到1:1的放大倍率。[www.61k.com]该头被日本光学协会的光学设计研究小组评定为“1998年最佳镜头”。
俗话说“微距无弱旅”,该头亦如此,它继承了尼康镜头一贯的风格,清晰、锐利而且色彩饱和,变形控制极好, 暗部层次表现也很出色,全开光圈解像力仍非常出色。70~180mm这个焦段对微距摄影来说也是最常用的焦段,何况它全焦段都保持1:1.33的放大倍率,拍摄微距时非常方便,同时用它来拍人像、风光也是很好的选择。另外,该头的重量只有600g,还不及“小钢炮” AF80-200mm F2.8D ED的一半,非常方便携带。不过,最大光圈小了点,对焦速度有点慢,声音也偏大。
另外,因为光圈太小,加上上市时价格过高(高达8000多元),故销售情况不是很好,尼康也于2002年停产了该头。然而,停产后该头反而受到了前所未有的追捧,停产时的价格还不到5000元,而目前即便是9成新的该头的二手价格也高达6500元以上。当然,比起AF200mm F4 Micro这个定焦微距来还是要划算很多。如果你喜欢微距,且不在乎光圈太小,那么该头是非常值得考虑的。
尼家的常青树!AF80-200mm F2.8D ED New
尼康“小钢炮”一共有3代(“大钢炮”AF-S 80-200mm F2.8D ED跟“小竹炮” AF-S VR 70-200mm F2.8G ED除外),一代“小钢炮”AF80-200mm F2.8 ED不带D,采用单环推拉变焦设计,且没有脚架环;二代“小钢炮”AF80-200mm F2.8D ED在一代基础上增加了D信息;三代“小钢炮”AF80-200mm F2.8D ED New不仅改成了双环内变焦设计,并增加了脚架环。在成像方面,一代、二代与三代“小钢炮”并没有太大差别,这里重点谈的是三代“小钢炮”,其价格平易近人,成像优异,加上相比前两代更方便的操作,成为尼康镜头家族里的一棵常青树,一直生产至今。
成像方面,“小钢炮”与“大钢炮”、“小竹炮”的差距并不大,西平英生对“小钢炮”解像力的评分达到了5分,甚至比“大钢炮”还高。只不过在对焦速度、焦外成像方面不及后两者。它全焦段都保持了非常优异的成像,全开光圈即非常锐利,色彩饱和度也很高,不过200mm端最大光圈成像有点肉,收缩到F4就非常令人满意了。三代“小钢炮”最令人不满意的是M/A环特别容易断裂,而且这一现象非常普遍,另外进灰问题也比较严重。对焦速度还算快,不过暗部对焦能力较弱,对焦声音也相对大一些。
尼康小钢炮 最值得关注的8款-----尼康经典镜头
当然,与不到6000元的新头价格比起来,实在太超值了,同样的佳能“小白”价格在9000多元呢。(www.61k.com)一代“小钢炮”9成新的二手价格不到3000元,二代“小钢炮”约在3600元,三代“小钢炮”则要4800元左右。如果追求价格,那购买一代“小钢炮”显然是最经济实惠的。有必要的话,建议再购买一个国产脚架环,不然用三脚架时对相机卡口是个考验。
次轻量级小钢炮!AF180mm F2.8D ED
如果嫌“小钢炮”重量太重,携带不方便,那么AF180mm F2.8D ED这个镜头是最好的替代者。它的重量只有760g,比起“小钢炮”来实在是轻多了。 人们对该头的评价褒大于贬,赞誉者称“它的锐利达到了35mm镜头的极限”,尽管有些夸张,但确实它的锐利和反差都极为惊人,对色彩和细节都能表现入微,即使全开光圈的情况下成像仍然非常锐利,光圈收缩到F4时达到最佳效果,缩小光圈的唯一目的可能就是为了获得更大的景深。9片圆形光圈叶片设计,焦外成像非常柔和,比“小钢炮”饱受苛责的焦外要好很多。该头采用全金属构造,做工非常出色,还内置遮光罩。尽管没有使用超声波马达,但对焦速度并不慢,比“小钢炮”要快,只是对焦声音有点大。不过,批评者对它的苛责也不少:没有三脚架底座,使用三脚架时不易于竖拍;M/A环容易坏;不能全时手动,MF/AF切换比较麻烦;定焦设计,构图比较累。
相比“小钢炮”,该头的价格也要低不少,该头9成新不带D版本的二手价格不到3000元,带D的价格略贵,但性价比仍很高。如果有85mm F1.4等人像镜头的影友,或许AF180mm F2.8D ED这个镜头是比“小钢炮”更好的选择。
狗模不狗样!AF70-210mm F4.5-5.6D
这只镜头也是很受欢迎的一只中长焦镜头,从1987年问世到1999年停产,对这样一只低端镜头来说已经是不小的奇迹了。毕竟,在中长焦这个最受摄影爱好者关注的焦段,替代产品很多,单尼康的镜头就不下10只。到了数码相机时代,这个20年前的老头更是受到了前所未有的追捧,二手市场上的成交价格一度上涨,从某种方面来说,也说明了它突出的性价比。
金属镜桶,用料很扎实,这也是尼康早期镜头的特色。最满意的就是成像了,这个1000多元的廉价镜头在其他中高档镜头面前毫不逊色,全开光圈时成像即很出色,F8时则达到最佳光圈。另外,色彩非常艳丽,特别是在数码单反相机上,非常讨好,这也是该头到了数码时代后更受追捧的原因之一。不过,这只镜头采用单环推拉变焦设计,时间久了阻尼不是很好,变焦环容易松,且也容易进
尼康小钢炮 最值得关注的8款-----尼康经典镜头
尘。(www.61k.com]另外,该头的对焦速度比较慢,偶尔有拉风箱的现象,对焦声音也比较大,
1.5m的最近对焦距离也有些远。
和尼康AF70-300 F4-5.6D ED相比该头在色彩、锐度方面更胜一筹,当然AF70-300 4.5-5.6G这个“狗头”就更不用说了。唯一对它构成威胁的是
AF70-210mm F4,不过后者不仅没有带D版本,对焦速度更是慢得出奇,且价格也比AF70-210mm F4.5-5.6D贵不少。不带D的该头9成新的二手价格在1200元左右,同样地带D版本要贵大概200元左右,这样的价格不可谓不超值。
穷人家的“鸟”头!AF300mm F4 ED
对喜欢“打鸟”的影友来说,一款高素质的长焦镜头是不可或缺的,但328(指300mm F2.8)及以上的镜头价格也不是普通影友所能承受的;而适马等副厂的业余长焦镜头虽然价格便宜,但成像实在太垃圾。AF300mm F4 ED可以说做到了价格与成像的良好平衡,这款镜头于1988年面世,到了2001年尼康推出了AF-S版出来后才停产,算算也有十几年的市场销售。有消息称,美能达经典的APO 300mm F4G也是复制的这枚尼康镜头。
比起专业大炮来,该头体积适中,也不算太沉。成像一如尼康锐利的风格,全开光圈成像即非常优秀,色彩还原好,整合了遮光罩,操作非常方便。在APS-C画幅的数码单反相机上等效于450mm的焦距,同时具有F4的最大光圈,是囊中羞涩的影友拍荷打鸟的利器!不过,增距镜不太好配,尼康原厂的TC-14E、TC-17E、TC-20E等都只支持带超声波马达的AF-S镜头,只能考虑肯高Pro 300等副厂的增距镜;另外,最近对焦距离2.5m,拍人像时够呛;82mm的滤镜价格也很贵;对焦速度有些慢,对焦声音也较大;此外,该头不带D信息,不支持3D矩阵测光。
不过,比起AF-S版本新头近8000元的高价,该头9成新的二手价格只需3000元左右,性价比显然更高;而AF VR 80-400mm F4.5-5.6D ED尽管长焦端延伸到了400mm,且具有VR光学防抖功能,但成像素质比AF300mm F4 ED要差不少,且最大光圈也不如AF300mm F4 ED。对于这样一只素质优秀的长焦镜头来说,还有什么可以奢求的呢?

书归正传,继续我们的尼康史上10个最佳镜头。[www.61k.com)
For a lens to be great, it has to serve a purpose and be easy to use. Great optics alone aren't enough.
一款优秀的镜头,必须为其目的服务并易于操作,仅有杰出的光学设计是不够的。 All of Nikon's and Canon's ultra-teles, mid-teles, f/2.8 zooms and macros have superb optics, but we expect that. You don't need me to list them again here.
正像我们预期的那样,尼康和佳能所有的长焦镜头、中焦镜头、2.8恒定光圈镜头和微距镜头,都有着杰出的光学设计,我没有必要在这里一一列举。
To make it to this list, a lens has to astound. It has to be far better than we expect. If a cheap plastic lens has great optics, it's far better than a $1,800 lens that's as good. 看到这里列出的镜头,你会感到震惊,它们远比我们预想的更好。如果一只廉价的塑料镜头有着优秀的光学表现,这比那些1800美元的优秀镜头更好。
These are in no particular order. All cover FX, DX and film unless otherwise noted. 这些镜头没有特别排序,除非特别说明,包括了FX、DX格式和胶片镜头。

50mm f/1.8D AF (versions from 1978 - today)
.
Nikon's least expensive lens is also among its sharpest. It has no distortion, focuses almost instantly, and it's Nikon's smallest and lightest lens.
尼康最锐利的镜头中的最廉价镜头,无畸变、对焦迅速,是尼康最小、最轻的镜头。[www.61k.com] It is among Nikon's fastest lenses, and covers film and the full FX frame. 这是尼康速度最快的镜头,可用于胶片和FX全画幅相机。
Except that the D40, D40x and D60 can't autofocus with it (neither can the F3), there is no reason not to own one of these, unless you opt for the twice as expensive 50mm f/1.4 D.
除了在D40、D40s、D60和F3机身上不能自动对焦外,没有理由不拥有一只,除非你选择了比它贵两倍的50mm f/1.4 D。{2013年6月12日,AF 50mm f/1.4D在ZOL的报价为1980元,AF 50mm f/1.8D报价700元。 }

All the earlier 50mm f/1.8 lenses since 1978 are also all excellent, including the
50mm f/1.8 AF (non-D), 50mm f/1.8 Nikkor manual focus, and the 50mm f/1.8 Series E.
从1978年开始生产的所有50mm f/1.8镜头都很优秀,包括50mm f/1.8 AF (不带D)、 50mm f/1.8 尼克尔手动对焦镜头和50mm f/1.8 Series E(E系列镜头)。[www.61k.com)

This is not only the world's best 24mm lens, significantly better optically than the LEICA SUMMILUX-M 24mm f/1.4 that costs three times as much, it's also an extremely useful lens.
这不仅是世界上最好的24mm镜头,它比徕卡的LEICA SUMMILUX-M 24mm f/1.4更值得关注,后者的售价是它的三倍,这是一只非常令人满意的镜头。[www.61k.com)
If low light is your interest, I'd suggest getting this 24mm f/1.4 instead of a wide zoom. 如果你对暗光环境感兴趣,我建议你用这支喜欢24mm f/1.4而不是广角变焦。
For many people, this could be the only wide lens you'd ever need. Its performance is unequalled at any aperture.
对许多人来说,这可能是你永远需要的唯一的广角镜头,在任何光圈下它的性能都无与伦比。
Because it has half the focal length of a 50mm lens, it can be hand-held at for
exposure times twice as long. This lets me shoot hand-held in light twice as dim as with a 50mm f/1.4 lens, or in the same light as a 50mm f/1 lens.
因为它的焦距只有50mm标准镜头的一半,它就可以获得两倍于标头的手持曝光时间,这让我们在手持拍摄时获得两倍于50mm f/1.4镜头、或相当于50mm f/1的通光量。 Unlike a 50mm lens, it has far more depth of field at the same f/stop. This additional depth of field also contributes to sharp hand-held photos at night. This 24mm lens at f/1.4 has a useful depth of field, while 50mm f/1.4 lenses have only paper-thin depths of field.
与50mm镜头不同的是,它同时具有更大的景深。这种额外的景深也大大有助于在晚上手持拍摄。这款24mm镜头在f/1.4时有令人满意的景深,而50mm f/1.4的景深仅仅像纸一样薄。

.
This $200 lens is a steal. It's my favorite DX lens.
这个200美元镜头便宜货,是我喜欢的DX镜头。[www.61k.com)
The 35mm f/1.8 is super-sharp, focuses instantly, it's fast, it's tough (metal mount), and simply works perfectly.
这支35mm f/1.8非常锐利,对焦准确、迅速,皮实(金属口),简单完美。 What more can I say? Get one before Nikon catches on and raises the price. 我还能说什么?在尼康涨价之前捞一支吧。

Nikon 18-55mm DX (2006-today)
.
Even as a cheap, plastic lens, the 18-55mm is sharp, sharp, sharp, and focuses so close that few people will need a dedicated macro lens.
即使是一只减价的塑料镜头,18-55mm就是锐利、锐利、锐利,且对焦距离很近,以至于很少有人再需要专用的微距镜头。(www.61k.com)
Included as a kit lens with Nikon's cheapest cameras, lenses this good and this cheap ask us what would happen if Nikon put some of this same mojo into its more expensive lenses.
作为尼康低端相机的套头,我们不禁要问,尼康在这支镜头上如此舍得下血本,到底发生了什么事。
It only covers DX digital; it can't cover film or FX.
这只镜头只能用于DX相机,不能在胶片机和FX全画幅相机上使用。

18-200mm VR DX (2005-today)
.
The 18-200mm VR is the freedom lens. It is the lens which let me get rid of the old fashioned "camera bag" photographers used to have to carry.
这支18-200mm VR镜头让我从摄影师不得不携带摄影包的习惯中解放出来。[www.61k.com) The 18-200mm VR replaces all the lenses we used to haul around. The only thing it doesn't do is replace an ultra-wide lens like the 12-24mm DX, or allow us to shoot sports in dim light like the 70-200mm VR. If you need anything longer, you'll get better photos by getting closer with the 18-200 VR than you will by using a longer lens like the 600mm VR.
18-200mm VR代替了我们所有的镜头,唯一不能取代的是像12-24 mm DX那样的超广角、像70-200mmVR那样的弱光体育摄影用镜头。如果你需要更长的焦距,你可以使用像600mm VR那样的长焦镜头。
Back in the days of DX cameras, the 18-200mm let me just go and shoot, and not have to carry other lenses or have to change them in a middle of a shoot.
对于今天的DX相机,18-200mm让我们的拍摄更简单,不必携带其他镜头,在拍摄也不用换镜头。

135mm f/2 DC AF (1990 - today)
Americans just don't get this lens, because Nikon messed up its name. The 135mm DC, or "Defocus Control," lens, is among Nikon's sharpest lenses ever. Defocus control doesn't mean soft focus, it means "background softness control." The DC feature is really Bokeh optimization.
因为尼康混乱的命名方式,美国人不认可这个镜头。[www.61k.com]135mm DC镜头,是尼康有史以来最锐利的镜头,DC就是散焦控制Defocus Control,散焦控制不是柔焦,他的意思是背景柔化控制,特点是真正的焦外成像优化。
The DC feature always keeps the subject ultra sharp, and allows the photographer to defocus just the background (or foreground) into the softest, smoothest, dreamiest and creamiest pastels ever.
DC功能能始终保持主体的锐利,并让摄影师仅仅将背景(或前景)散焦成柔软的、流畅的、梦幻般的、奶油似的轻淡柔和。
The 135mm DC is Nikon's best hand-held portrait lens ever, as well as a killer-sharp 135mm lens for everything.
135mm DC是尼康最好的手持拍摄人像镜头 ,也是其他135mm镜头的犀利杀手。

14-24mm f/2.8 AF-S (2007-today)
.
The big, heavy 14-24mm f/2.8 AF-S just rewrote the book on ultra-wideangle lens
performance. It raises the performance bar about 20 years ahead of every other ultra-wideangle SLR lens.
大而重德14-24mm f/2.8 AF-S改写了超广角镜头的历史,它20年之前的超广角但凡镜头为树立了榜样。[www.61k.com]
The 14-24mm is sharp, sharp, sharp, even wide open, and even in the corners. 14-24mm就是锐、锐、再锐,不管是大光圈,还是在是角部。
It's so good that people are buying special adapters just to use them on Canon cameras!
它太优秀了,人们甚至购买专用转接环在佳能相机上使用它。
The 14-24mm is excellent on amateur DX cameras like the , but doesn't really start pumping until you use it on film or a full-frame FX digital camera.
在D300一类的非职业DX相机上,14-24mm镜头是优秀的,但是,在胶片机或全画幅的FX相机上才有更优异。

This manual focus lens outperforms its newer 85mm f/1.4 D autofocus sibling. In fact, its so good that even after the f/1.4 autofocus lens came out, for about the same price, Nikon kept making these for 10 more years!
这款手动对焦镜头就优于后来的85mm f/1.4 D自动对焦版。事实上,它太优秀了,即使是f/1.4 D自动镜头发布以来,大致相同的价格下,尼康还是继续生产了十年。 It's sharper than the new AF lens, and it has much better bokeh than most other Nikon lenses.
它较新版的AF自动对焦镜头锐,背景虚化效果比其他大部分尼康镜头更好。

Nikon spent ten years perfecting this masterpiece, then discontinued it in 2006 from lack of market interest due to its deservedly high price. Collectors finally figured it out, and they now sell used for double what they sold for new.
尼康花了十年的时间来完善这一杰作,2006年因成本高利润低而停产。(www.61k.com)收藏家们总算弄明白了,这家伙市场价翻倍了。
This lens is special because its sharp, even in the corners, even wide-open at f/1.4. It is worlds better than today's 35mm f/1.4 (which is a manual focus lens made since 1969) or the manual focus 28mm f/2.
这款镜头,因其锐利而特别,即使是在四角,即使是f/1.4大光圈全开。它比今天的35mm f/1.4(这是一只1969年开始生产的手动镜头)或手动版的28mm f/2更犀利。 This lens allowed me to shoot things hand-held on ISO 50 film that otherwise I could not.
这只镜头可以让我用ISO 50的胶片手持拍摄,除非我不想这样。

The 13mm is not a fisheye. Straight lines stay straight. In fact, just to show off, the 13mm has less distortion than zooms or most other normal and wide lenses! Drop a ruler on lines in the image, and they're straight.
这个镜头不时鱼眼镜头,直上直下。[www.61k.com]值得炫耀的是,它比变焦镜头或其他的普通广角镜头畸变更小,笔直的直线拍出来就是笔直的。
It was made back when Nikon was still great enough and crazy enough to make things just because they could. It always cost a significant fraction of what the average American family earns in a year, and used ones today sell for about the same real price as when new: about $5,000 to $20,000.
这是尼康所作的足够大胆足够疯狂的产品,只为了证明他们的能力。总成本相当于普通美国家庭一年的平均收入,现在的价格约5000美元至20000美元。
I lusted after the 13mm ever since I was a kid in the 1970s. I saw one on display at Nikon House in Rockefeller Center in New York City in the 1970s, and saw one again in early 2008, from which I'll be penning a review one of these days.
从20世纪年代我还是个孩子的时候起,一直渴望有这支13mm镜头,那时我在纽约洛克菲勒中心的尼康展厅上看到了它,并在2008年初再一次见到,总有一天我会写下这些回忆。
Nikon only made these to special order, and only made a few hundred of them across 20 years. Customers who took factory delivery in Japan were treated to a ceremony where the lens was blessed by a Shinto priest. I've only seen two in my life, both in captivity, and never seen one in the field.
尼康仅接受特殊订货才生产,20多年来只生产过几百只,客户在日本工厂接受镜头交货被视为是一种神圣的仪式。终我之一生仅看见过两次,还都是在展柜里面,想摸一下都做不到。
Sigma makes an inexpensive 12-24mm zoom that may be wider, but it's not a
professional lens, its not a Nikon lens, and it distorts slightly. Nikon's 14mm f/2.8 and 14-24mm AF-S are not quite as wide, and have more distortion.
适马公司制造了便宜的、更广的12-24mm变焦镜头,但这不是一只专业镜头,它不是尼康镜头,畸变严重。尼康的14mm f/2.8和14-24mm AF-S没有那么广,也没有那么多畸变。
This 13mm is also unusual in that it has little to no distortion of straight lines. Unlike zooms and most fixed lenses like the current 14mm f/2.8 and 14-24mm AF-S, make a photo of the horizon along the bottom or shoot a brick wall, and everything stays straight and square. Of course even the slightest tilt on your part throws everything into a bizarre angular array of converging and diverging lines, but that's the fun. 这只13mm镜头也不寻常,失真小到几乎没有。不像时下诸如14mm f/2.8、14-24mm AF-S之类的定焦、 变焦镜头。即使沿着地平线拍摄砖墙,线条仍然保持直线砖块仍旧是矩形,没有一丁点儿筒形或枕形畸变,这就是乐趣。

Don't expect ever to see one of these, since production was so low. Just get the 14-24mm AF-S , which is a lot less expensive, two stops faster and a lot sharper.

These are very inexpensive plastic-mount lenses that came out in 2001 and 2003 for sale with Nikon's cheapest film cameras like the N55 and N75. No one paid any
attention, because everyone was swapping over to digital cameras faster than Nikon guessed, leaving Nikon stuck with pallets of unsold N75s.
这些都是非常廉价的塑料卡口镜头,在2001年和2003年与尼康最便宜的胶片相机N55、N75一起销售。(www.61k.com] 没有人注意它,因为人们比尼康的预计更快地更换成了数码相机,尼康的N75s胎死腹中。
These two lenses incorporate every trick Nikon has learned over decades and
decades of lens design and volume manufacturing. Each uses aspherical elements to improve performance and reduce size and weight.
尼康把数十年设计和生产镜头的的经验用在了这些镜头上,并使用了非球面镜片,以提高性能,减少尺寸和重量。
Both are sharp, even in the corners. Even the 28-80mm G is sharper than the far more expensive 24-120mm VR, which made my 10-Worst list.
这两款镜头都锐利,即使在角部。即使是28-80mm G,也远比昂贵的24-120mm VR锐利,那是一款位列10差镜头的主。
Each of these lenses isn't quite as sharp as Nikon's best, but pretty darn close. What gets them on my Best list is that they are this good at such a low price, and that they are tiny and weigh nothing for easy carrying.
这些镜头每一个都不如尼康最好的镜头锐,但相当的接近。它们能进入10佳镜头榜的原因是,低价、优质、轻巧、便于携带。{Nikon 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6G,直径
66.5mm,长度64mm,重量195g,现价700元;Nikon 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6D IF AF,直径78mm,长度86.5mm,重量360g,现价2300元。}
The 28-200mm G is a miracle. Not only is it pretty sharp in most cases, what gets it on my Best list is that it focuses so closely at every focal length. It focuses down to 17 inches (43cm) at every focal length, much closer than any other Nikon tele, ever. Most teles, like the 135mm DC, often can't focus closely enough for photos of baby heads. This 28-200mm does. The AF isn't that fast since it covers such a wide range, but its fast enough.
28-200mm G是一个奇迹,在大多数情况下相当锐利。它能进入10佳列表的重要原因,是它的最近对焦距离,短至17英寸(43cm),比尼康任一款长焦镜头都近。大部分长焦,比如135mm DC,时常因距离被摄对象太近而不能聚焦,28-200mm就可以。由于变焦范围大使得它的自动对焦速度没那么快,但是足够快了。
The 28-80mm G focuses more closely than other Nikon lenses, often eliminating the need for a macro lens. It autofocuses faster than any other Nikon AF lens, including the AF-S lenses. Just try one; it's uncanny how instantly and exactly it focuses.

The zoom and focus are supposed to be loose and slippery. This was the sports and action lens of its day. No one was silly enough to shoot zooms on tripods pointed down, so creep wasn't the issue.
变焦和对焦都轻快顺滑,这是一款体育运动镜头。 没有人愚蠢到在三脚架上拍摄时将镜头朝下,所以蠕变现象{这款镜头在口部小地面时,镜头会慢慢滑出}不是问题。 This Nikkor lens was made with such incredible precision that it didn't need to be pumped full of grease to fill up the internal slop of cheaper lenses of its day. It is so well made that it works with little or any lubrication, so it can work in temperature extremes and needs only a tiny flick to move the settings. Notice how it moves so easily, but that there is no play in any of the movement.
尼克尔镜头的制作精度令人难以置信,镜头内部空间没有被涂得满是油脂,极少的润滑足以时期很好地工作,所以它可以在极端温度下工作,只需一个很小力度家可以动作。 看看,多么容易,没有任何多余动作。

三 : 微距镜头的选择方法(尼康篇)
春意已经越发浓郁了,而说到春天就不能不谈鲜花。要拍摄花朵,当然也就是微距镜头出场的时刻了。微距镜头的作用,归结起来,也就是要把类似花卉这样细小的被摄物体放大。但是镜头名录中有那么多各式各样的微距镜头,他们之间又有什么样的区别呢?
这篇文章就是以尼康微距镜头为例,简单地说明一下选择微距镜头的选择方法。
最近对焦距离和工作距离
四 : 全球视角最广微距镜头15mm f/4是国产创新产品
中国光学厂商Venus在国内可能并没有太多名气,但这个名字最近几天却成为了国外摄影媒体的头条,因为他们推出了一支前无古人的镜头:Laowa 15mm f/4。单从参数上来看除了广角似乎没太多亮点,但它是全球视角最广的1:1微距镜头。
1:1的微距放大倍率意味着,被摄物体的真实大小可以在相机传感器上完美还原,再加上15mm焦距带来的110度超光视角,Laowa 15mm f/4可以成为一支近拍神器。Venus表示,其最近对焦距离只有0.47mm,被摄物体几乎能近到贴着镜头拍,这是一种怎样的体验,下面的官方样张可以给你答案:
为了保证成像质量,Laowa 15mm f/4使用了9组12块的镜片组,其中有三块高折射率镜片和一块ED镜片。镜头使用了多种涂层避免出现不必要的反射,边缘解析力、桶形失真控制都还算不错。14片光圈叶片能带来近乎正圆的焦外效果。
其它规格方面,Laowa 15mm f/4支持全画幅机身,提供佳能EF、尼康F、宾得K、索尼A和索尼FE五种卡口,镜筒使用金属打造,可以使用标准的77mm滤镜。Laowa 15mm f/4将在2015年7月开始发售,北美售价是479美元,从它独一无二的效果来看,这个定价绝对物有所值。
