Nikon Z* mirrorless

just run around 100 shots through it , fast focus and smooth , lovely bokeh wide open still very sharp in centre ,bokeh widens out at around f4 but still very nice .. I rarely use short lenses so not given it any proper use as yet ,but will do .
got mine on evil bay .private seller . came boxed and in as new condition paid circa £150 delivered
Thank you. Want to get a 85mm but not sure if I would use it enough or not. Have also seen the f2 evo which people say is better so will just keep looking for a cheap one for now.
 
I have an 85mm f2 evo which I picked up off Ali Express for £140 shipped, they regularly have discount vouchers. Pick a seller with decent UK reviews, add it your basket and leave it there. Sometimes they send vouchers sometimes they don’t ;)

I’ve not used it much but it’s impressed when I have.
 
Just bought a viltrox 20mm f2.8 , got a mint 9+ used one from Wex for £100 .. just fancied one after reading the reports on it… arrives tomorrow
 
Lens arrived this morning as new condition,took a few test shots it’s a keeper ,even found a nice CPL filter for it in my spares drawer
 
Only done initial testing so far Jonathan but it’s definetly a keeper , I chose the route of used from Wex but there only about £30 dearer new on e.bay .if I get a chance I’ll take a few sample shots later .
 
and here ya go nothing special just a few test shots down the estuary , quite surprised in colour variations by stopping down.. no fancy editing done just cropped slightly and standard LR/PS processing but imho both lenses behaved well with a fair degree of sharpness and no drastic nit picking . I'm not a landscape guy so could definitely have improved on these with due care and attention
first off 85mm @ f1.8
then @ f5.6
