Gallery - (more) humble Nikon Lenses

[stupidbloke]

i think its quite weird to term lenses to be 'humble' its simply implying that like a 24-70 is a 'proud' lense? im just joking, but i feel if u want to have such a thread, i think its best to be specific with your parameters. i think a better definition of 'humble' would be 'under a thousand bucks' unless u want to create a list of 'humble' lenses.

shot by nikon coolpix s640 - Lens ? built-in

i'm a poor man. got this free coolpix by winning the "YOG Caption" contest recently.

so, i took a shot of a stray cat near my hdb flat.

i name it "Little Tiger"

hope this can make it in this thread, since it was taken by a "Nikon" camera, although, not a DSLR :embrass:

hope you like it, nonetheless

15.5mm, f/4.9, 1/320s, iso100

and perhaps, just one more, before i embarrass myself infront of the seasoned pros in this forum...

"Silver Lining"

22.6mm, iso100, f/12.4, 1/1000s (coolpix s640)

That don't do D70 + 18-70mm justice.

Allow me to humbly share my photos, all photos as of today are all taken with my humble 18-55mm

I am just a newbie photographer of a week old. Thanks for viewing.

Seems like the 18-70mm kit lens is our favourite lens in this thread!

I shall add a few more to this very humble lens. Personally i prefer this over the tamron 17-50 f2.8. The focussing is faster and i find it just as sharp and as contrasty.

Here's some more newbie shots of mine to add on taken the same humble 18-55mm kit lens.

Played with this cheapo E lens which I got lately. It renders quite nice out of focus background though.

D60 + Nikon 75-150 f/3.5 E

Hi all, the following pictures are taken with a D300s/D70s with a nikkor 180mm f2.8 AIS ED. I believed this to be a humble nikon lens as 1) its pretty beaten up when i got it and 2) its a manual focus lens. Hope you people enjoy the following pictures.

Straight out of camera, jpeg fine. No pp whatsoever except resize and border.

D70s, f5.6 (guess)

D70s, f5.6 (guess)

D70s, f4 (guess)

D70s, f4, insert about 100% crop

D300s, f4

 

[Acolyte]

Flare performance. I almost got blinded. Its not easy to have the sun in the image on a 270mm eqv lens.

D300s, f8

Bokeh not bad eh?

D300s, f2.8

Colour renderation

D300s, f5.6

No distortion (sorry abt the tilt)

D300s, f4

Weird black blobs and fine scratches.
Somehow it does not affect the sharpness, colour or flare at all in my opinion. Jus don't look that nice cosmetically.

 

[Acolyte]

Next up, my first manual lens, the nikon series e 75-150mm f3.5. Again, no pp, images straight out of camera.

All images from D300s, f5.6
