Nikons ‘Holy Trinity’ of f\/2.8 lenses are now all finally available in ‘S’ variant form – and they’re VERY good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’ve specialized in photographing circus performances, and frankly these lenses make a difference to the quality of the images I can make. The mere fact that they’re all f\/2.8 means three possible ways I can improve the chances of getting a shot: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 : I can increase the shutter speed – 1\/125s shoots up to 1\/500s – capture movement<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 : I can increase the aperture – f\/2.8 goes up to f\/4- more depth of field<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 : I can decrease the ISO value – so 6400 ISO becomes 1600 ISO – less noise<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I have a tendency to shoot wide open, this is a real gain. It’s true that the current EXPEED processor and post processing can reduce noise (grain) artifacts, it’s nice not to have too much to start with…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of weight, I find they are well balanced – they’re not light but I prefer a bit of weight as I find it better absorbs slight movements and is much easier to hold. The physical size doesn’t make the small body overbalance, so shooting, for me at least, is comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tiny OLED screen showing focus point\/aperture\/depth of field is a bit of a gimmick, but doing a large amount of work in near total darkness I must admit that it has been handy a couple of times – the rear ring on each lens lets me change aperture easily, so seeing the value on the lens was nice…but in no ways vital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second lens hood (HB-97) on the 14-24mm now lets us put filters on this lens – albeit HUGE 112mm – this is useful too, particularly to be able to use a polarizing filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proof is in the pudding – I’ll be posting some images soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
