Hi TP'ers
I was wondering what wide primes Nikon users would recommend and trying to get feedback on prime candidates (no pun intended). This is a new step for me and have yet to trawl through the myriad of Youtube vids and reviews. The two at the top I guess would be the Nikon 24mm f/1.4G and the Zeiss 21/2,8 ZF (a stellar lens but no AF) though both of these are a bit too pricey. I already own the 24-70mm f/2.8 Nikon so the premise here is to scale the weight back without compromising IQ. I'm looking at 21 to 35 mainly and ideally would need to be a Nikkor. It is I guess a budget dependent decision but if there are doubts against or serious recommendations for, then the balance of considerations will shift somewhat.
I've seen the 35mm f1.4G but is £1310. I've also noticed the 28mm f/1.8G which is a more modest £500 (and an ideal budget), but unsure of the quality. I'm tempted presently by the 28 but is it any good? Lens will be mainly used for architecture with maybe some landscape. The two Zeiss' primes (25 & 28) I've thrown in simply because their prices are less than that of the Nikkors (24 & 35) but MF, I'm not totally sure I want MF to be honest.
What do you think? Anyone own the Nikkor 28mm?
