Strengths:

Very sharp corner to corner with lots of movement and contrast is first rate

Weaknesses:

If only Nikkor could design a f5.6 version with the same exterior dimensions.

Similar Products Used:

None

Customer Service:

15 minutes drive across Vancouver and 1 week turnaround.

Review 2 of 4

Model Reviewed:
Nikkor SW 90mm f/8

Summary:

This lens gives you great performance in a smaller package than the 5.6 versions. The price is also less. Great field lens, a bit dull for focusing indoors. For colour work will give warmer results than Schnieder or Rodenstock.

Strengths:

Small size, large image circle, 8 element design - good correction for distortion.

Weaknesses:

Warmer colour balance than Schnieder or Rodenstock, and probably Fujinon.

Similar Products Used:

Fujinon 75mm 5.6, Schnieder 120 Super Symmar.

Highly recommended.

Strengths:

Smaller than the 90mm f5.6 lenses, but with the same image circle. Lower in price than the faster lenses as well. Very sharp lens with conservatively rated image circle- plenty of coverage for movements.

Weaknesses:

darker image than a 5.6 lens- not a problem outdoors, workable inside.

Similar Products Used:

Other Large Format wide angle lenses.

Customer Service:

No experience.
