Nikon Lens Reviews

Note that this section is a work in progress on the dslrbodies site. I've been wanting to rework my lens reviews for some time, and have slowly begun the process of doing so. This section will expand on regular basis as I get any older reviews brought up to the standards required by 24mp DX and 36mp FX bodies.

Here are the redone or new reviews of Nikon F-mount lenses for DSLRs (old reviews not yet updated can be accessed further down this page):

Lenses I recommend have the word Recommended along with the years in which that applied somewhere near the end of my review. Why do some lenses stop being recommended after a certain year? Typically it means that either new cameras came out for which the lens doesn't perform as well, or that new lenses came out that rendered the current lens as no longer being one I'd buy. 

A good case in point was the 200-400mm, which I recommended (with some distance reservations) for a few years. But the appearance of the 70-300mm AF-P, the 200-500mm f/5.6E, and the 180-400mm f/4E, taken together, mean there's a better choice for you in that bunch than the 200-400mm f/4G. Moreover, the distance acuity on the high pixel density cameras we have now is also more acute.
