When I first got this lens,
it
reminded
me of
a
second-hand prime lens that my dad gave me more than 20 years ago. The
Nikon 28mm f2.8D was the one
that started my photography journey. Now 2021 This is the Nikon 28mm f2.8 SE lens ,
what new sparks will it collide with Nikon's Z-mount mirrorless camera?
This
video let me talk about
some of my recent real experience.
Hello everyone,
this is Kelvin. Nikon's 28mm f2.8
Z-mount lens was
released at the same time as this year's smash hit Z FC half-frame mirrorless camera.
I have the SE version.
The lens is out of place and uses a
knurled design
to reproduce the design language
of the old Nikkor lenses. Today, it seems that it
exists purely to match the Z FC, which is also a replica of the Nikon FM2 film camera,
but the interesting thing is that it is not a half-frame lens
. It 's a full frame lens
so it can also be used on full frame bodies in the Z5 Z6 Z7 Z9 series and
on half frame c50 and CFC cameras
it becomes a 42mm equivalent focal length lens
I'm wondering if leaving is a hint In the near future,
they will also launch a full-frame camera with a retro look. I
don't know if you will look forward to it. Everyone is
welcome
to put their ideas on the public screen.
This camera leaves the 28mm f2.8 lens and
weighs only 160 grams.
The whole lens Basically it is made of plastic. The internal structure of the
lens is 9 elements in 8 groups
, including 2 aspherical lenses
and 7 aperture blades. The
length is 4.3 cm
. The maximum aperture is f2.8
and the minimum is f16
.
The suggested retail price is about 2000 RMB. The diameter of the mirror is 52 mm,
but the interesting thing is that its advancing film is very small.
Many netizens also joked that this
is a lens for small hole imaging.
The first impression that this lens gives me is that it is light and
very suitable for daily use.
Whether it is paired with the half-frame Z50 Z FC
or the full-frame Z5 Z6 Z7 series,
its size and weight will not put pressure on the photographer,
but if you are paired with the Z FC,
I believe this combination is also very suitable for
use. To hang it on the body
as a matching outfit
, or use it as a shooting prop. In terms of optical quality,
how does Nikon choose
between volumetric image quality and price ? Here I want to first explain that
it is not an S
A series of professional lenses,
so I personally do not ask for it as a professional lens,
but from the perspective of ordinary photography enthusiasts
to talk about some of my experience.
First of all, in terms of sharpness, with
a 24.5 million pixel 362 generation
At full aperture, the center sharpness is good,
and the edge sharpness is ok
. When the aperture is reduced to f4,
both the center and edge sharpness are significantly improved.
When the penetration continues to narrow to f5.6 to f8, the
center and edge sharpness are both
Optimum goes to f11 and f
as the aperture shrinks 16
The overall monthly decline has a certain degree of vignetting.
At full aperture, the
vignetting is still relatively obvious.
With the reduction of the aperture, there is a certain degree of improvement.
However, for a lens that is used to sweep the streets and record life,
I personally don’t particularly care. On the contrary,
I personally like the visual effect that comes with the lens. In terms of purple fringing performance,
this
28mm f2.8 lens
can only be said to be good,
but
it does have lightness
at full aperture f2.8.
The purple fringing of 100 degrees also decreases significantly
as the
aperture is reduced,
but for
an
entry-level lens without any ED lens,
its overall performance is not bad,
also
because it does not have the blessing of advanced coating
and is not equipped with a hood
.
In terms of anti-glare, the
overall
performance of this lens can only be said to be quite satisfactory
. In the out-of-focus performance,
although it
has an aperture of f2.8
,
it
is definitely not a large aperture in terms of the positioning of a fixed-focus lens,
but as long as the foreground and background are opened to a certain extent
There
is still a good blur effect in the distance . As for its blur effect and light spot,
you can see if it matches your mind through the sample. In terms of focusing speed, the overall performance of the
designed lens is still good. Switching the focus from near to far, the
focus response speed is still good, and
it can definitely meet the daily shooting use of ordinary users. The closest best distance of
this
lens is only 19 cm . Use it to take food photos
in restaurants, and shoot flowers and plants in the park. It 's good, it's
just that its sharpness is significantly reduced when shooting at close range and when the aperture is wide open. For such a small lens,
I personally think it is very suitable for shooting video, whether it
is handheld or light. Whether it is in the 28mm focal length of the pure Hanfu camera
or the equivalent 42mm focal length of the half-frame camera, it is suitable for recording life
and shooting some trivial fragments in life, although it is not the positioning of the professional top lens of the S series
However, its breathing effect control is still as good as ever,
which
is really worth learning from
the 28mm focal length.
On today's full-frame mirrorless cameras, it
may not be particularly concerned by many people,
but it is definitely a focal length that many of us are familiar with.
Last year's iPhone 12 series, this year's iPhone 13 series' wide-angle lens
, which is the familiar iPhone main lens, has a
focal length
of 26mm,
which is approximately equal to 28mm . The focal length of the 35mm lens is relatively narrow
, and the focal length of 28mm
can perfectly cover
most of the shooting subjects in our daily life.
The maximum aperture of f2.8 can
not only bring us a certain amount of background blur,
but also bring us a certain amount of The amount of incoming light can be handled with ease
whether it is outdoors or indoors,
day or night,
and for Z FC users,
its shape can not only perfectly adapt to the fuselage
Design Even if you upgrade to a full-frame body in the future,
it can continue to be used. It is
very environmentally friendly.
If you are using a Nikon Z-mount body
and your budget is limited,
you also want to have a lightweight Z-mount large aperture fixed focus.
The lens is used as a
daily hang-up, whether it is 28mm f2.8
or 40mm f2
may be your best choice at present.
