  • Nikon 85mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor

    9 out of 10 points and recommended
    Sharp, great color, great DOF
    None that I can think of.

    I just bought this lens a few weeks ago and the results are amazing! The DOF is beautiful, the lens is sharp and the colors seem so much better than my other lenses! I definately recommend this lens!

  • Nikon 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G ED-IF DX AF-S Nikkor

    5 out of 10 points and recommended
    Good range for average shots
    Not very sharp, doesn't go as wide as I'd like

    This is the lens that came with my camera. I was never a big fan of this lens. I needed something that would handle low-light situations better and the lens was never as sharp as I would have liked so ended up selling it.

  • Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor

    10 out of 10 points and recommended
    Very affordable
    None

    I rated this lens a 10 overall because you really can't get a nicer lens for $100. This is a very good lens for the money. It's sharp and the f/1.8 was enough for me to shoot in natural low light situations.

  • Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical IF SP AF

    8 out of 10 points and recommended
    Wide aperture, Affordable
    Not as sharp as the Nikon version

    Very the price this is a very good lens. I use it for indoors in low light situations and it goes all the way down to 28mm so I can use it in tight places where I wouldn't be able to use my 50mm or my 85mm.

  • Tokina 12-24mm f/4 AT-X 124 AF PRO DX SD

    Affordable
    None

    I bought this lens for my trip to Russia and it definately got some great captures inside the museums. I don't use it as much otherwise because I primarily do portraits but this lens is fun to play with and do creative shots and landscapes/architecture.
