Recommended High Resolution Lens DSLR Camera: Nikon D800 / E

When the Nikon D800 and D800E was launched, many people were surprised because 36MP resolution reached. This camera is the first camera that penetrates resolution 30s and the resolution of it, the Nikon D800 digital SLR camera has been entered into the border between DSLR cameras and medium format cameras.

With settingi resolution, the Nikon D800 requires optical quality lens is very high to get the best picture. Unfortunately, a lot of lenses available to date mostly designed for low-resolution DSLR camera (below 24 MP). Thus, choosing the optimal lens for D800 / E is an important thing.



Even his own Nikon lenses memberian guide suitable suggestions are as follows:

  • * AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED
  • * AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
  • * AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II
  • * AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G ED VR
  • * AF-S NIKKOR 16-35mm f/4G ED VR
  • * AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR
  • * AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR
  • * AF-S NIKKOR 200-400mm f/4G ED VR II
  • * AF-S NIKKOR 24mm f/1.4G ED
  • * AF-S NIKKOR 28mm f/1.8G
  • * AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G
  • * AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G
  • * AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G

  • * PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5D ED
  • * PC-E Micro NIKKOR 45mm f/2.8D ED
  • * PC-E Micro NIKKOR 85mm f/2.8D
From the list above, obtained information alone does not suggest that Nikon lenses are designed ancients were coded AF-D. Some popular lenses like Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G, 28-300mm and 70-300mm VR is also not included in the list.

Indeed, I've heard complaints that the Nikon 50mm f/1.8G lens wearers in D800E Nikon DSLR cameras are not getting the results maximum sharpness, especially when using the largest aperture is f/1.8.

For those who terlanjut has great resolution camera like the Nikon D800 and the lenses are not recommended long or Nikon, try closing the lens aperture is approximately 2-3 stops from maximum aperture lens.

For example, using f / 4 when using berbukaan f/1.8 lens, and using f/11 aperture when using a lens berbukaan f / 4. Hopefully the results could be sharper.

But do not use too small aperture like f/22, because the optical diffraction will make the overall picture becomes sharper.

For those who are planning to buy a camera D800 / E, do not forget to prepare the funds to buy quality lenses to maximize the quality of the image sensor camera.

For those who do not have a Nikon D800, but want to look for a new lens, it's good to choose from the list at the top of the lens is a lens that Nikon still upscale optimal when upgraded high-resolution camera in the future.
