Jared Polin, froknowsphoto.com and this is my ultimate full frame Nikon lens kit.
Now, just to let you know, I do own each one of these lenses.
I bought my very first Nikon lens at the age of 15 and I have traded up, sold, worked to
get all of these pieces of glass.
But what I want to do right now is start at this side and go all the way down here and
talk about these lenses.
Now I’m missing a couple of lenses that I would consider to be part of the ultimate
lens kit and I’ll tell you about those in just a second.
Unfortunately, I have to have the 16mm 2.8 Fisheye as one of the lenses in my ultimate
kit, even though it kind of sucks at this point.
Nikon needs to update this really fast for full-frame because it just isn’t sharp these
days.
Then we move up to the 105 1.4, which is an absolute behemoth of a lens that is so sharp,
it is just unbelievable.
Just by looking at it, you can cut yourself.
Are you looking at it?
Did you cut yourself?
Get a Band-Aid because you need it.
Now the 2414 and the 3514 would be part of the ultimate Nikon lens kit for full frame
as well as the ultimate prime kit and don’t forget about the 851.4 as well.
The 514, you can give or take that one, not a super big deal.
This is a 105 macro 2.8, awesome for shooting macro shots.
Love having that and yes, we have two different 105s and the reason being is one is a 1.4
and meant for portraits and the other is meant for shallow depth of field and macro shots.
Now this one right here, this, the next four lenses I consider to be my ultimate personal
kit.
That if I was travelling around the world and could only take four lenses, it’s going
to be the next four.
Starting with the 14-24 2.8, that is the beginning of the Hebrew trinity.
Now this lens is one of the newer lenses that rounds out the Hebrew trinity but the Hebrew
Quatre.
Un, deux, trois, quatre, the Hebrew Quatre.
I coined it, it’s here, the Hebrew Quatre.
This is the 300 millimeter F4PF, right?
They call it the PF for Phase Fresnel lens.
This lens is a 300, this is a 300 2 8, look at the difference in size.
Carrying this around, it’s smaller than the next lens right here which is the 24-70
2.8 VR that just came out as well.
So rounding out the Hebrew trinity is the 70-200 2.8 VR2.
Now I’m waiting for them to replace this lens.
It’s kind of due because the Canon version, the 70-200 2.8Version 2-I-S is much better
than this bad boy.
How did this lens get here?
I don’t know.
Get out of here.
This lens right here, I bought and then I’m like, “Why do I need it now that I have
this 300?”
This right here, we’ll move it over, is a 300 millimeter 2.8 AFS VR Version 2.
It is an unbelievable lens if you are a sports photographer.
It could do well for portraits if you wanted to get portraits with it but some of the other
lenses that are missing on the big ass glass side, would be the 400 2.8, which I’d probably
never own.
I’ll just rent it if I need it, a 600 millimeter F4 and I think they make an 800 but those
lenses, they are really lenses that I’m not going to drop $USD 16,000 on.
This is pretty much my ultimate Nikon full frame kit setup.
