Nikkor VR 30-110 f3.8-5.6

Ok, this is the last image from this lens for now, promise. Shot at 69mm (186mm=35) which is just over half way along the focal range and you would expect the image to be sharp, well it is. Most zooms are at their sharpest in the middle of the zoom range and either the long or short end suffers usually. That's how it is normally but I'm really impressed by this zoom. I find it sharp thoughout the zoom range.

I hope you've enjoyed the images posted with this system, I have certainly enjoyed making them.

Just two more images from this lens for now. I'm sure a lot of you aren't interested in this system because you think the sensor is too small. If you are looking around on the Internet for some info or reviews about this system you will find some names there that have adopted this system wholeheartedly and are successfully creating some amazing images with it. Granted it's not really a high ISO machine but I can't say it's all that bad either. The more I get to know it's limitations, the more I like using it. I can take the whole lens collection in a small shoulder bag as well saving me back pains.

This image was shot at 30mm and it shows just how sharp the lens is. Some say that it's not that sharp at the long end but that is not my experience. I've posted some images at 110mm and they are sharp to me.

Ok we're back to this extraordinary lens again. I don't think I've seen such a small lens produce such images. It's a joy to use. There was no CA correction in the image above and there is a lot of detail in those trees.

There's a rule of thumb in photography, if you're going to photograph tall things like trees or towers, make sure you have an uneven number of them. I.e. 3, 5 or even 7. Try it out sometime, it really does make a difference. Here though I didn't have a choice in the matter, there were 4 trees. But it served it's purpose for me.

Even though this lens isn't particularly fast the VR system is good enough to get a sharp image. The image above was taken at 30mm (81mm equiv) with a shutter speed of 1/160 which is double the rule of thumb. So some of you might say that is no great feat, but the street was in shadow and was darker than the image implies. You may be right though and this doesn't prove how good the VR system really is. I might have to take some low light images to see just how good it is. But then noise does tend to creep in at higher ISO values.

The image was taken at f5.6 and as you can see the image is sharp from foreground to infinity, a great advantage of the smaller sensors, you don't have to stop way down to get the depth of field you want.

If you haven't realised it yet, we have a lot of horses around here. Using this lens is really fun. No sign of purple fringing at all which is great.

Just some very inquisitive foals taken at the wide end of the 30-110. Sharp, sharp, sharp.

I decided on the spur of the moment to put 4 images into one so that I can post more from other systems. There will be some more coming up but I thought this might be of interest to some of you. If you would like me to go back to the old system of 1 image a day, please let me know. I think this will be a way to get more images out there from systems where I would normally just post 1 a day. They might be small, too small probably for some of you, although the images posted in this way are now 1200px.

So Much For So Little

I don't think I've said this about a lens before but I'm really impressed with the 1 Nikkor 30-110 f3.8-5.6 VR lens. To look at it you wouldn't dream that the image quality can be so good. The price of this lens went down to €175 but is now back up to just under €200. Word must be getting around about just how good it is and demand is higher.

The next few posts will be images from this lens but I must warn you, more images will be posted from this system as it's slowly taking over from my other camera systems. It is so small and light, doesn't require much space, even with all the 1 system lenses, that it is a pleasure to carry and great fun to shoot with it.

Since I'm not a pro (i.e. I don't earn any money with my images) this system is proving to be ideal for my type of shooting. If I was a pro, I'm not really sure if this would be a system to cover all the bases. Certainly high ISO is not it's forte but in good light it's just great. WB is spot on in my opinion, it's fast to focus and has a max shutter speed of 1/16000. That is just amazing. Another key feature for me is that the system is completely silent when using the electronic shutter. You can't hear anything. When I compare the clunk of the Pentax cameras I am just amazed.
