crazzy88ss Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Are there any wide fast full frame primes for nikon that aren't $2000? Something like a... 20mm f2 or something like that? Closest I can find is a 35mm f2.0. Was hoping for something wider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconian Guppy Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 AF-S or AI or Pre-Ai? Nikon 14-24mm AFS f/2.8 G ED? to slow? I recon there are some pre- AI that where something ridiculous like F 0.95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazzy88ss Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 yea I want AF. 14-24's too expensive, and it's on my list to buy once I get a "D800" anyway. I was hoping there was an older "cheap" fast wide angle; 35mm is too wide i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazzy88ss Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 found a list of everything f-mount made. Wider than 35mm, everything's f2.8 or 1.4(and super expensive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconian Guppy Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Do share. Just out of curiosity, why you looking for full frame? On that boat, i'd be more interested in the d300 successor whenever that happens not teh best source, but it works :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazzy88ss Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon_F-mount I want full frame cuz the next camera I get will probably be full frame. This is under the assumption that Nikon doesn't do much to shake up the current line up. For example, if the "D800" can't increase it's FPS to 8fps or higher by adding a grip and doesn't have a pop-up flash, then I might pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 If you really need something faster than 2.8 then your only option is 24/2 AIS (manual focus). It is the only fast wide prime that you could get relatively cheap. However the lens is hard to find despite the fact that it's been in production till 2005. Best option is to save up for 24/1.4 or 14-24/2.8 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argote Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Sigma makes a 20mm f/1.8 prime which is also available on the Nikon mount. http://www.amazon.com/Sigma-Aspherical-Angle-Nikon-Cameras/dp/B00005RKSL/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1304163156&sr=8-8 There is also a 24/1.8 version http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005RKSP/ref=s9_simh_gw_p23_d0_i3?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=187KKR2KX6ARZMMGR3GY&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846 Both are supposed to be FF compatible.

crazzy88ss Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 Andre: 14-24 is on the list. When I buy my "D800" I'll most likely get the 14-24 with it or very soon after. oh awesome. Thanks Argot. I wonder why I couldn't find those! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argote Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Is there not a page with a database of lenses for F-Mount? For the Sony/Minolta A-Mount there's http://dyxum.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~WinGz~ Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-18mm-2-8D-Nikkor-Lens/dp/B00005NPWB Nikon 18mm 2.8 Prime. My grandfather has one and to be honest I love it to death. It works on Full Frame pretty well has slight distortion in the edges but its only noticeable mostly on closeup portraits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
