Read moreThe AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4.0G ED VR is the gold-ringed sister to Nikon’s 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED. It’s an ultra-wide angle zoom lens that’s compatible with Nikon’s full-frame FX format DSLRs and was announced in 2010.

Read moreThe Nikkor 35mm f1.8G ED fills the last gap in Nikon’s 35mm line-up: a lens designed for full-frame DSLRs, but pitched at a more affordable price-point than the flagship model. Nikon already offers the gold-ringed AF-S 35/1.4G for professional use and the AF-S DX Nikkor 35/1.8G for owners of its DX-format APS-C models. Until now,…

Read moreThe AF-S Nikkor 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED is an ‘affordable’ wide angle zoom lens that’s compatible with Nikon’s full-frame FX format DSLRs. Announced in January 2013, it’s aimed at photographers who’ve bought lower-priced full-frame DSLRs like the D600, but equally works on cropped-frame DX format models, where it becomes equivalent to 27-53mm. Officially it’s the successor…
Read moreThe 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM is Sigma’s first large aperture 35mm full-frame lens. It was announced November 2012 and goes head-to-head against the equivalent offerings from Nikon, Canon and Sony. As Sigma’s first lens to define its “Art” product line (the others being “Contemporary” and “Sports”) it is expected to “focus on sophisticated optical performance…
