The best lenses for Nikon cameras for 2020

Nikon cameras tightly entered into life. It does not matter whether a person is engaged in professional photography or buys a device for “capturing emotions” while traveling, choosing the right lens should not be in the last place. Unfortunately, few people pay due attention to this. Therefore, over time, the quality of photographs begins to disappoint them, and they are looking for a way out in buying a new gadget. However, such a fate can be avoided. The editors of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" have prepared for you a rating of the best lenses for Nikon cameras for 2020.

How to choose?

The first thing that begins the search for any technique is the question: "What to look for when buying?" This is due to the fact that not all stores have a primary task - selling a reliable device. Therefore, some models may not fit or may be unreasonably expensive. And if a lens is chosen for a standard or SLR camera, then even an experienced user may not have enough nerves. Because almost 90% of the offered goods cost 15, and sometimes 50, 70 thousand rubles. At the same time, the user does not need a standard lens, buying such a product he expects obvious changes that will be visible to the eyes, and not to the device.

What will buy a lens give?

There are two categories of camera owners: amateurs and professionals. The former, due to the infrequent use of photographic equipment, rarely think about buying a lens, since they do not need it. And creative individuals will never miss an opportunity to improve their apparatus. Therefore, they buy memory cards from top companies and focus on lenses. This is due to the fact that after mastering the device, a person feels that he has rested against an invisible wall, the previous photos no longer seem perfect. So there is not enough magnification, luminosity or other indicators. Also, some people decide to buy a new lens after reading some articles about how it will change their images for the better.

Knowing that buying a new device will change the experience is one thing, another is the right choice. After all, there are hundreds of models, and among them you need to choose only one that will accompany a person for a certain period. It is important to know that buying a lens is only necessary if the user does not have enough power. It is not recommended to change it just like that. This requires specific reasons, because thanks to them, the user will correctly orientate himself in the store, which will save nerves and energy. An example of such circumstances:

• A standard lens blurs the edges, making the picture look less natural;
• It is impossible to shoot at night without a flash, you have to set the maximum ISO value, and then spend hours in Photoshop to eliminate noise;
• The portrait mode does not give full realization, as the background blur is poorly done and the colors are monotonous, so the portrait of the image seems unnatural.

If the above problems are still relevant to humans, it is a good idea to purchase a prime lens (fixed focal length) of 50mm.By the same principle, it is necessary to choose devices for travel, reporting, macro, etc. First, a person needs to work with the standard in the chosen mode, then conduct an appropriate analysis, identify shortcomings and choose the required model.

The difference between expensive and cheap

Some users desperately claim that only expensive equipment is able to solve all the issues with the resulting images. This is partly true, but not always. Of course, in 2010, this was relevant, because manufacturers could not achieve top-end parameters for budget models. But this is a thing of the past, because modern, from the low-cost segment, are able to compete with the flagship models of five years ago. There are drawbacks, but more often they are associated with medium detail and "grayness" of the image. Therefore, the main and, in some cases, significant advantage of the expensive segment is professional photography. Of course, it will not be possible to reveal this with the help of certain tests, because some flagship lenses may be worse in performance than modern budget lenses, but their picture will be "live", filled with all the colors, and not just an image.

This is an example with two headphones. It seems that the manufacturers indicated the same characteristics, the only difference is the price. So, some cost 700 rubles, while others 4900, and this with the same parameters. Of course, for many, the benefits are obvious, but a music lover will immediately notice the difference, because in cheap ones the sound of mechanics will be heard, it will be dry and unpleasant. While in expensive ones this is not observed, and there is a completely different sound. The most important thing is that only dozens of 100 users will notice this, as most of them will think that this is nit-picking.

Therefore, with lenses, things are the same, for someone "artistry" is a decisive parameter when choosing, while it will only be visible to the buyer, and the seller will never understand what went wrong. Most often, the image quality is associated with the used optical glass, balanced system, secret characteristics that only the manufacturer knows, etc. Therefore, it turns out that two identical models from different companies give out opposite photos. In one, bright colors play, in the other a mechanical image. But as is the case with headphones, this indicator will not be visible to every user. To get this skill, you need to work in this area for a long time. Only then will a person understand that it is possible to overpay for some models.
