nikon 28mm f1.8

[daredevil123]

Yes I agree that..

But on 28mm advantage on using cropped factor on DX x1.5 = 42mm is consider like standard lens.
So my trip only bring the single lens of 28mm should be good enough cover from 28mm, 34mm or 42mm in the D800

Similarly, 24mm on a cropped camera is 35mm... which is also a wide normal FOV, my personal preference. In the end, it boils down to personal preference.

Still, it does not take away the perspective difference. now matter how you use a crop factor... in the end, your 28mm will still give you the perspective of a 28mm lens.

Very little hunting, almost non existence even in low light (no AF assist light)

But will report back once it gets to the field. haha

Thanks kero89. Reason why I asked is because my 35mm f/1.4 does hunt in low light. If 28mm f/1.8 does not hunt, then I can consider switching. Of course both lenses gives different look & view but it's worth looking at it as an alternative... Looking forward to your FR...

Hey bro. No problem, will FR after forming bond with the lens. haha.

but if there is any scene u have met up with hunting on ur 35mm, let me know and i can try to replicate to see if it hunts on the 28mm. cause coming from micro lenses which hunt like nobody business, i find the 28mm really a breather for it's AF performance. haha

Do you all think Nikon would be releasing the 28mm F/1.4 any time soon to cater the pro ?

Alr have 24 and 35.... no need for a 28 1.4

In low light, it focuses slowly. Using with the D800E.

hey bro, if you really like your 24 1.8 go ahead i dont think we need you to justify it to us. You are really becoming too defensive to provide any solid arguments to convince CSers here. We are all free to express our opinions but there is no need to try to convince everyone to be a sigma fan

cheers and peace out

Ken rockwell he wanna more higher ISO and match with canon 5d3..

One more for 28mm f/1.8G taken like macro shot.
At the moment got this lens, i don't think i needed the micro lens on this time.
All the 28mm f/1.8G can do that well.

The output from the 28mm f1.8 is certainly looking very good. Thanks rain5533 for sharing the many pics.:thumbsup:

FR a bit first...

Twice of about 500 shots on this lens i bump into hunting.. and it just won't stop hunting.. First in void deck lighting, next along esplanade shooting a almost complete dark object with a little light from nearby street lamp (No AF Assist light)

I guess i can live with the hunting. haha

Some food close up ( Shots all done on D7000, freshly out from cam lazy to edit)

Taking this 42mm Equivalent lens on landscape?

Pardon for those noob shots.. If this can help any potential buyers I'll be glad, hope it doesn't turn away you guys haha..

Add on.

What the 40mm could do was even more impressive!

Not sure how you got that conclusion I am defensive... I am not a sigma fan. I use what I need to get the job done. Be it Nikon, Sigma, Tamron or even Canon.
