LENSES.
SIGMA 14mm 2.8 A.F ASPHERICAL.
THIS IS A VERY SHARP, CONSTANT APERTURE ZOOM. I AM NOT A GREAT FAN OF ZOOM LENSES; BUT I CAN CONFIDENTLY USE THIS LENS AT IT'S WIDEST APERTURE. ON THE D50 IT BECOMES A USEFUL 52-105mm PORTRAIT LENS.
THIS LENS IS A WELL KEPT SECRET. COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT, THIS VERY FAST F/2 WIDE-ANGLE LENS IS PERFECT FOR SCENIC AND LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY AS WELL AS ENVIRONMENTAL PORTRAITS. THIS LENS HAS SIX ELEMENTS IN FIVE GROUPS. IT FOCUSES DOWN TO 0.25 METERS OR 0.8 FEET.
I'M NOT A HUGE FAN OF WIDEANGLE LENSES EITHER; BUT THIS LENS HAS A GOOD REPUTATION: THE FIELD OF VIEW IS IMPRESSIVE - SOMETIMES IT'S ALMOST TOO WIDE. WHEN USED ON THE D50 IT BECOMES A USEFUL 30mm WIDEANGLE.
SIGMA 10-20mm f4-5.6 DC EX.
I GOT THIS LENS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO FROM JESSOPS FOR £335: I CAN'T SEE THE POINT IN SPENDING BIG MONEY FOR THE NIKON VERSION (£750 FOR THE 12-24), WHEN THE D50 IS ONLY 6 MEGAPIXELS. IT SEEMS VERY WELL PUT TOGETHER AND BALANCES NICELY ON THE D50. FOCUSING IS VERY FAST AND ALMOST SILENT. ITS FOCAL LENGTH IS EQUIVALENT TO 16-32mm IN 35mm FORMAT. LEVELS OF DISTORTION SEEM FINE AT BOTH ENDS OF THE ZOOM RANGE. INCLUDED IN THE KIT IS A NICE PETAL SHAPED LENS HOOD THAT REVERSES ON THE LENS FOR STORAGE AND A NYLON BELT BAG. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE A HIGH RESOLUTION UNSHARPENED IMAGE TAKEN AT F6.3 WITH THE D50 AT THE WIDE END OF THE ZOOM. PLEASE CLICK HERE
