Like the other reviews in the series, the aim is to help readers maximize the potential of their camera and offer advice and recommendations when buying lenses.Īs we’ve demonstrated with comparisons between the Nikon D800 and rival Canon EOS 5D Mk III, the quality of the lens influences the performance of the sensor. We’ve tested and assimilated the data from a wide range of lenses numbering 70 in total to see which lenses perform best overall, bearing in mind the different imaging characteristics of the 24Mpix sensor in the D600. Priced at around $2,100, about $900 less the Nikon D800, for enthusiasts the newer, lower-resolution D600 maybe the best balance between image quality and value for money. With a DxOMark score of 94 the camera came just behind the firm’s D800 and D800E in our sensor scores. This reinforces the fact that if you’re on a budget, and don’t need some of the other features of that model, the Nikon D600 is a superb choice. In fact, the results reveal the sensor to be capable of maximising the potential of any lens fitted to it, while in some cases offering the equivalent level of sharpness when using the same lens mounted on the Nikon D800. It’s quite clear that many of the older mid-range film-era lenses can no longer keep pace that though the higher-end lenses of the same period can still be up to the task.Ĭhoosing newer models will reward the user with the sharpness levels that are expected from a high- resolution sensor such as that adopted by the Nikon D600. With improving sensor performance makers are now concentrating on designing lenses to compliment. #Sofortbild nikon d600 plus#With a DxOMark score of 22 that lens has good image quality plus VR and a much greater reach for head and shoulder portraits. The Tokina 24-70mm f2.8 and Nikkor 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED are good options on a budgetĪlso worth considering is the AF-S Nikkor 24-120mm f4G ED VR. Nikon AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED It also lacks an internal AF motor but at $134 (on average) and a DXO Mark score of 31, it shouldn’t be overlooked.Ĭarl Zeiss Makro-Planar T 100mm f/2 ZF2 Nikon Perhaps the best budget choice is Nikon’s f1.8D model. It lacks the SWM type internal motor of the newer AF-S version but is available for substantially less. If budget is a concern then Nikon’s older f/1.4D (AF-D) model is an option. The older film-era Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D is still a good choice if lens speed and price are paramount.
