Maginon-Serie G 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5 MC Auto

The Nikon 70-210 f4-5.6 AF D Zoom Lens I wanted a small AF Nikon zoom in the 70-200 range for a small shoulder bag. After doing a bit of research this model caught my eye. My small budget narrowed the field, but I still wanted quality, and this model seemed to fit the bill. The D model has the faster AF speed and better 3D matrix metering, so this is what I purchased. Initial testing shows crisp images on a Nikon D7000 camera body, and the focusing is indeed quick. Just remember to match your minimum hand held shutter speed with the selected focal length, and you’re good to go. Very sturdy, compact, and sharp at less than $100.

good except for autofocus This lens is nicely compact and light, and it has a descent zoom range. But i can't recommend it because of a major flaw: inconsistent autofocus. On a high-end body, you can adjust AF Fine Tune for sharp focus at one focal length, but the same setting will not result in sharp images at other focal lengths.

OLD PRO LENS - Learn to Focus 35-70, 2X, F3.5. Not much zoom, not very fast by current standards. No AF, limited AE without adding chip. @ normal exposures -F8,F5.6, F11 - as sharp as any current zoom. Use A - bracket exposures, learn to focus, save $1K, get better fotos.
