Missing Nikon Lenses
Thom Hogan prepared a list of lenses that Nikon should be producing. I like his choices. I think my top picks his list would be:
- 12mm f/2.8G DX
- 85mm f/1.4G AF-S VR
- 70-300mm f/4-5.6G AF-S (VR)
There is one lens I think is definitely missing from the list: a “normal” DX
lens, about a 34mm f/1.8 DX. While my 50mm f/1.8 does the job pretty well, it
isn’t a normal lens for the digital SLRs.
The PC lenses might be cool, but I don’t know that I’d buy one… yet. I’ll
have to see how much I use the movements on my Graflex large format. Also, I’d
have to imagine that having PC on an 18mm DX lens would produce distortion
making using the lens difficult, even w/ the wide-angle adjustments in Nikon
Capture. I suppose you have to have a specific need for those.
