  • Tamron 28-200mm f/3.8-5.6 XR Aspherical IF Macro AF

    5 out of 10 points and recommended
    Is sufficiently sharp, comfortable, relatively lightweight.
    I think this is not a macro lens.

    This is a good lens for that price. Is sufficiently sharp, comfortable, relatively lightweight. Slightly slower and more noisy mechanics, but it is cheap. His biggest problem is that this is NOT A Macro lens. I shoot with a Nikon D80 and I have 18-135 lens, both are equally macro - ie they are not.

  • Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor

    10 out of 10 points and recommended
    Sharp, small, light, great bokeh - perfect
    plastic

    This is the best lens that you can boil brand new for only $ 120. 50/1,8D is the best normal lens. When I decided to buy such a lens for my Nikon D80 tried all possible versions. And I chose 50/1,8D as not inferior in quality to any of the more expensive competitors. Sharp, small, light, great bokeh, and most importantly so cheap. The rest of my money to buy flash

  • Nikon 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED DX AF-S Nikkor

    8 out of 10 points and recommended
    Very sharp, great zoom range, fast and silent.
    plastic bayonet, without stabilization

    I received my 18/135 bundled with my camera. Very sharp, great zoom range, minimal distortion, fast and silent. Really nice travel lens. Its shortcomings are: plastic bayonet without stabilization and unfortunately even minor distortions are observed throughout the zoom range.
