Primes

Another of Nikon's pancake lenses - a bright normal lens. Built to last, all manual, no electronics, but a lovely little lens.

The first wideangle I owned, and a real gem: wide, sharp, good colors and built to last. The mechanics were world class and the optical quality followed close troop. It started my still lasting love for wideangle lenses.

I had this manual lens as one of the first ones for my Minolta bodies and remember its very good mechanical construction and oh so smooth focusing.

My first ever fisheye lens, and a great performer. Both the mechanics and the optical quality is good, and the lens produces a stunning 180 degree vista on a full frame body

A killer lens and my new goto macro, releasing the outdated Sigma 90mm of its long and faithful duty. Great working distance, excellent handling and really, really good macro capabilities. This lens is tack sharp, has fast AF, sufficient brightness for my use (I use a tripod and/or flash for 95% of my macro shots). I don't use the VR function at all.

A really great, bright medium wideangle lens on a DX body, very wide on FF. Large and heavy and requires an in-body focus motor, but great sharpness and a nice angle of view not least on full frame where it's absolutely unique with regards to wide and bright lenses.

A classic portrait lens and excellent value for the money, but a little longer than a conventional portrait lens when mounted on a DX body

A great normal lens for DX bodies. Bright, sharp and well built.

A fisheye is a great supplement to any lens lineup, and for Nikon DX owners this is the ticket. It's not cheap, but not extremely expensive either, and the quality of the mechanics as well as the resulting images are top notch.

One of the least expensive lenses in Nikon's selection, and one of the best - at least for the money. Any DX shooter should own one.
