Positives:
- Small and light
- High luminosity and thus super bright viewfinder image
(The Nikon D700 when it comes to a large bright viewfinder image "innately" quite well equipped)
- Distortion practically imperceptible
- Not annoying vignetting at open aperture visible, but many motives
(May possibly be compensated by image editing); from 2.8 practically invisible.
- Focus well at open aperture 1.4; from 2.0-2.8 very good; awarded from 4.0-5.6
- Contrast rendition at open aperture 1.4 a bit soft - but that because LowLight recordings often have very high contrast, not so very striking; from Aperture 2.8 very good
- Stray light behavior - with lens hood - very good
- AF speed very quickly (requires camera body with its own AF motor - sogenanter rod AF)
- Great handling with the D700, even handed holding the D700 is possible (which is not possible with heavier lenses)
Neutral:
- Processing quality: good, metal with relatively high proportions of plastic, a perfect finish with limited Rubustheitseindruck.
Negatives:
- Nothing; except perhaps that the lens hood is not supplied as standard, but must be purchased separately.
(A purchase of the same is highly recommended!)
Conclusion:
Who needs high light intensity:
- Shoot without a flash (such as in churches, museums)
- Shots with extremely shallow depth of field (eg portraits)
- Shooting in twilight stages, etc.
want to be and with little weight and size, a deliberate reduction to 50mm focal length on the go
and an impeccable Abbildungsqualtät needed get a very good lens.
At open aperture but is a very accurate focusing - best with Single Area AF - necessary (shallow depth of field)
