    I bought the 70-300mm nikkor lens 15 years ago and it is still the sharpest lens in my collection. Mine is not light weight and is quite heavy for its compact size. They are on the market for $800 CAN and still in demand which means they are not going anywhere. I used it on my D80 and now on my z50 and will be using it on my z6ii when it arrives. One lens that is staying for good.

      I don't know if you have the af-s or the af-p version. In any case, the af-p gives a lot of value for the money. Still love this lens too.

    This 70-300 and the 200-500 are both easily in the top 5 absolute best zoom lenses you can get for the money, across all brands. Tremendous values. The 200-500 is currently $1060 (US$) during holiday promo sales. Great review here.

    you guys cannot go wrong specially if photographing stationary objects or bigger wildlife in zoos but there will be large issue shooting birds in flight if your distant from the subject, or smaller birds, i would suggest the sigma 150-600mm

    Hi,
    My first visit to your site today (enjoyed it a lot, not least the Voigtlander 58 review - I love that lens!).
    I had the AF-S 70-300G and then after trying the Tamron 70-300 VC (which had problems with flare, otherwise excellent), I ended up with the Sigma 100-400 C, which is pretty outstanding, in my book, but now needs servicing after many years of use (I did fine-tune the focusing using the Sigma dock!), but I do have the AF-P 70-300 DX as well, when I need to travel light! Love your art, and not least the photos!
    I'll be back!

      For art reproduction it is best to work with a macro lens because it gives the least distortion, is very sharp and gives accurate colors.
      I myself work with the Irix 150mm which is a manual focus lens.
      But other good lenses are Sigma 105mm macro, Tamron 90mm, Nikon 60mm macro, Nikon 55mm macro.

      Hard to say, if you feel like you're a bit short in length I'd go for it.
      In terms of sharpness, both lenses are almost the same, the autofocus on the 70-300 mm is surprisingly fast.
      You do lose a full stop of light at 300mm (f/5.6), but since you photograph airplanes, I suspect you have enough light.
      The choice is yours, in any case, the 70-300 mm is a beautiful and light lens.

    @carlgarrard9710 2 роки тому +1

    Sorry the 100-400 C Sigma is the best lens I've used in Canon or Nikon F mount for auto focus accuracy, tracking, and speed. By FAR. There are so many variables when it comes to focus accuracy within the camera or lens settings, that unless you really really know what you are doing, its easy to blame the camera or lens. While the AF-P remains a good lens for Nikon F mount shooters, without doubt, I'd suspect that you re-visit your opinion of the SIgma here.

    • @WimBals
      @WimBals  2 роки тому

      I have owned both lenses at the same time and was able to keep the variables out of the equation. The Nikon was more accurate in the AF. Nevertheless, the Sigma is a very good lens with of course the extra 100mm

    • @carlgarrard9710
      @carlgarrard9710 2 роки тому

      There are variables you cannot control such as sample variation however. I used the Sigma on multiple bodies on two separate mounts, aps-c and full frame, and its focus accuracy was spot on with every single camera - this without any correction having to be made in any of the cameras. It's quite possible, your copy of the Sigma wasn't the best of the samples out there, perhaps an earlier version or there were conflicts with firmware in the cameras- it's really tough to say you had all the variables under control. I think it's worth your time to do a retest with another Sigma. I tested it with 7 different Canon bodies, and 5 different Nikon bodies and the results were always consistent to the point of being jaw dropping- whether that meant static subjects or birds in flight, you name it. You can see why I decided to comment with that kind of performance. It's my go to lens for action after testing several native lenses in each mount, simply because of its consistent nature of accurate high quality images in any situation. Price has nothing to do with that decision either. Take another look at the Sigma, I say :).

    • @WimBals
      @WimBals  2 роки тому

      I am not a fan of superzoom lenses. Yes, they have their uses for people that travel or do not want to change lenses, but they come with too many problems for my taste.
      I would add the 70-300mm to your current lens.

    I have the AF version of this lens, no ED no VR no inbuilt autofocus motor, the autofocus doesn't work on my d3400 because of this.
    Okay optics, do you think it's worth upgrading from my old one to the AF-P vr one?

    • @WimBals

      In addition to better image quality, you will also get VR and AF. Definitely an upgrade if you ask me.

    I am a beginner looking to step up from a bridge camera for soccer photography. A Nikon 7200 will be the body, will this do a job in low light given its relatively high/variable f-stop?

    • @WimBals
      @WimBals  3 роки тому +1

      With your D7200 you will be able to handle higher ISO values much better than with your former bridge camera. In other words, you can compensate for the variable aperture with a higher ISO value.
      Faster glass (Nikon 70-200 f2.8) is of course even better but this comes with a significant price and weight increase.

    Good evening again...I would like to ask your opinion on nikon shots. Nikon claims that D7200 has 1100 shots but I shoot only 400-500, do you think this happens because shots are raw and not jpg?

    • @WimBals
      @WimBals  2 роки тому +1

      Hi, a lot depends on whether you use the live view function a lot. That being said, you can also check your battery status in the menu. Buying a new original battery can sometimes work wonders. A faster sd card could possibly help so that the camera can write the images faster.
      RAW or jpg would in principle not make much difference.
      Good luck.
