New Lens in the Bag...The Nikon 16-35 mm


Here is a picture of the new lens on my Nikon D3.  This new ultra-ultra wide angle lens is designed for full frame cameras (Nikon D3 series & D700).  This lens would be the equivalent of a 24-52mm lens on a DX sensor due to the 1.5 crop factor of the smaller sensor.  For DX Nikons, stick with the wide angle lenses designed specifically for DX sensors especially since this 16-35mm costs $1250.  This is the very first 16-35mm lens, from any manufacturer,  that has VR (image stabilization) built in!  Very Kuhl!  I never considered handholding a lens at 1 plus seconds and getting a clean shot.  Now possible with this lens!  I'll post some pictures after I play with this bad boy for a while.

  1. Hi Terry,
    Congratulations on your new blog.
    You're off to a great start!
    I'll be interested to see your updates and insights. Your recent post on "perceived happiness" with the homeless guy versus the sail boat owner was excellent, it keeps us all thinking about what's really important.
    Cheers,
    Karl
