I think this lens is perfect for anyone looking for a travel lens, a walkabout lens. With the weather ceiling, with the size, the weight the constant 2.8, I think it's great option for travel.

I think this lens is really good entry level lens, especially for people that have opted for the DX range. I think that'd be a really good option to go for instead of getting the kit.
It's the kind of lens that you can quite literally just throw on and forget.
[Y]ou get what you pay for in this case, but it is a lot of money for a lot of people.
Now, if you are someone who's had the Z5 for a number of years, or let's say you're thinking of moving to fullframe from DX, then this would be a serious contender, I would say.
[B]ear in mind it is a bit heavier, but if you are someone that is seriously looking at a DX camera, this by far has the best features of all of them so far.
If you are happy to manual focus, then I would say that this is definitely the way to go. Yeah, the selling point is really is a two times magnification, which you can't really get with a lot of lenses nowadays, and in the middle it's very, very sharp.
Exactly, the build quality is good, the image quality is fantastic, the price is very attractive, so overall it's quite a compelling package.
If you're a wedding photographer, you're probably going to shoot 3,000, 4,000 shots per wedding. You don't need 45 megapixels, but it's also price-wise reasonable enough to get into the hands of enthusiasts and hobbyists as well.
If you are looking for a small, lightweight walkabout 20mm for a bit of street photography or a bit of landscape, then this is a really fantastic option, and as you say, only about $159, so it would be a bargain at twice the price if I'm honest.
I think this is generally the fastest portrait lens ever created.
[I]f you're a portrait photographer, you're on the budget, you don't want to go full frame, then get this lens, you won't be disappointed.
I think it's a very, very good lens. It's competitive way of being the cheapest. It does pack the punch it does in terms of image quality. You honestly can't complain about it.
Now, in terms of performance, yes, another one is better, but this one is so much lighter, so much cheaper, and performs really, really well.
The rendering is beautiful, the 3D pop is amazing.
[P]retty nice lens, I can tell you that much.
If you want something that's a step up from your 24-70mm f/4 kit lens with a 2.8 aperture and don't mind spending the extra, but don't want the extra weight of the pro glass, then this is a fantastic option.
It gives a longer range than 24-70mm and it's also a very sharp lens.
I was pleasantly surprised by the results; I have looked at all of my photos from the days that I've been shooting with it and I can't actually fault it in any situation.
If I didn't have Z50, I would have gone for this one because I do love the retro styling.
As primes go and as 50mls go, the Nikon Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.2 S lens I would say is also one of those lenses. It's just got that extra little something about it which makes it so obvious that you're shooting with something very, very different as opposed to a standard 50mm lens.
I did find that the image quality was very good for 1000 pound lens, and as a budget option it's fantastic.
If you don't want to spend ten thousand pounds on a 500mm lens, then actually the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR is smaller, lighter, and optically I would say not as good as the 10,000 lens, but it's certainly better than the 200-500 and will not disappoint.
I have this lens for two weeks now, and if you're looking for a good all-rounder, this is as good as it gets.
