Nikon's 50mm 1.4D, Beware! Extreme quality ahead!

Tue, 27 Feb 2001 16:12:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author stevespranzman - A 50mm lens was the first lens that I ever used, and for the first 5 years of my photography career, it was the only. After I became professional, I started playing around with a bunch of zoom lenses, but was never really satisfied and still find out...

Nikon 35-70mm F2.8 Do you need this lens?

Tue, 27 Feb 2001 15:57:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author stevespranzman - After comparing the Tokina F2.8 lenses between themselves, I wanted something that would be very sharp at F2.8, which led me to buy this lens used. The major downfall with many of Tokina 2.8 lenses is that they have a soft focus effect at F2.8, which...

Tokina AF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5: Tokina 28-105... Nikon Quality, Inexpensive!

Tue, 27 Feb 2001 15:42:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author stevespranzman - After trying out a bunch of Tokina Lenses, I have to say that this lens does a very good job of imitating the Nikon brand lens. The sharpness of this lens compared to Nikons 28-105 is about the same. I found a little more distortion at 105mm than the...

Shooting weddings? Look no further with Tokina's 28-80 F2.8

Tue, 27 Feb 2001 15:30:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author stevespranzman - First of all, I would like to say that this would be my first recommendation for anyone who wants to shoot weddings, but does not want to spend an additional $1000 for the AF-S Nikon 28-70 F2.8 lens. Anyone interested in wedding photography, but is...

Tokina 28-70 2.6-2.8 ATX 2, Is it worth it?

Tue, 27 Feb 2001 13:22:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author stevespranzman - Do you want to carry around a 50mm lens, a 28mm lens, and a portrait lens, or do you still want fixed lens quality in a zoom lens? The Tokina ATX 2 28-70 2.6-2.8 is a very sharp lens, which might or might not be the lens for you.

Becoming a legend - Nikon 75-300

Sat, 30 Dec 2000 17:32:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author stevespranzman - If you can find one of these older lenses, grab it. I have compared this lens and the newer "D" 70-300mm Nikkor lens on my Nikon N80, and found this lens to be a little sharper, and less distorion at 75mm and 300mm. If you are looking for...

Wed, 23 Feb 2000 22:03:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author stevespranzman - WOW! In my opinion, this is the best IDE CD-RW drive out there. If you can afford to go SCSI, then go SCSI, but this is your next best choice. The 4mb buffer is great, and I have not had a misburn yet! I can surf the net, multitask a whole...
