Re: Manual Focus Nikon Glass


I hate testing good lenses. It is fun to test bad ones where you can easily point to the 'badness', or to look at the corners of a 16mm 3.5 compared to the poor 16mm 2.8 ais.

When it comes to good telephotos, focusing can make more of a difference than the lens themselves.

I believe that to be the case for the tests below, even with the high magnification finder of the Z6 focusing introduces more variability than the lenses. The old lens may have more chromatic aberration but the Z6 takes care of that.

on tripod, no IBIS. processing is copy paste, all the same. Aperture is 4.5, with hoods and no filter,100% on Flickr.

Which one is best for this distance and light? don't know, can't tell. Maybe the top left OOF in the nai H is uglier.
