Best Nikon Standard Zoom Lens

The best standard zoom lens from Nikon, the Nikon AF-S DX 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED VR Lens is our top pick. This versatile lens has a seven-bladed diaphragm, a sophisticated electromagnetic aperture mechanism, four extra-low dispersion elements, three aspherical elements, a silent wave motor, and vibration reduction image stabilization. For increased chromatic rendering and sharper imaging, this lens is finished with a fluorine coating for simple cleaning and a combination of nano crystal and super integrated coatings. This lens is ideal for travel due to its 480g weight and excellent optical composition and mechanics. 

Best Nikon Lens for Portraits

For the best Nikon lens for portrait photography, look no further than the Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.4G Lens. A portrait lens is ideal for taking crisp pictures of subjects since it often has a high aperture and a technique to soften definition. The AF-S 50mm is perfect for the task with an aperture range of f/ 16 to f/ 1.4. Featuring auto focus, a silent wave motor, a super integrated coating, and a nine-bladed diaphragm, your images won’t miss any detail. The AF-S 50mm f/1.4G Lens has a circular, nine-bladed diaphragm that produces a background that is soft and blurred. This enables a subject to stand out more in portrait photography. 

Best Nikon Wide Angle Lens

The Nikon AF-P DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Wide Angle Lens is the best option to capture steller wide angle shots with your DSLR camera. The small, all-purpose Nikon AF-P DX features two aspherical elements and a super integrated coating. A pulse motor, a seven-bladed diaphragm, and vibration reduction image stabilization technologies. Additionally, it has settings for simple focus switching. The weight of this thin lens is approximately 205g, perfect to take on the go to capture cityscapes or crowds of people. 

Best Nikon Landscape Lens

To capture incredible landscapes, look no further than the Nikon AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8G ED Lens. A good landscape lens should be able to capture wide angles without distortions. As an ultra-wide lens, this Nikon lens features a quick f/2.8 maximum aperture and nine rounded diaphragm blades, perfect for landscape shots. The optical design incorporates 14 elements in 11 groups, including three aspherical lenses, two ED glass elements, and a nano crystal coating for consistently clear and sharp images. For quick, silent focusing, it also incorporates an internal focusing system and a silent wave motor. 

Best Nikon Macro Lens

A macro lens is perfect for capturing subjects really close up using magnification while capturing clear images. Our pick of the best Nikon macro lens is easily the Nikon AF-S 105mm f/1.4E ED. This lens features a 105mm focal length, an aperture range of f/16 to f/1.4, and nine rounded diaphragm blades. Three extra-low dispersion glass elements, a fluorine coat, and a crystal coat make up this lens. An attractive bokeh effect is produced by lenses with an odd number of diaphragm blades, such as this nine-rounded diaphragm bladed lens. With nine rounded diaphragm blades and a very wide aperture of f/1.4, photographers can achieve a well-lit image with a crisp subject and a sizable and smooth bokeh.

Best Nikon Telephoto Lens

Telephoto lenses have a longer focal length than usual which produces an image that is magnified and has a narrow field of view. The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR Telephoto Lens is a great lens to capture crystal clear images from a 70-200mm zoom range. As a versatile model, this portrait to telephoto zoom lens is able to cover a flexible range of longer-than-normal focal lengths. It features a bright f/2.8 continuous maximum aperture, easy handling controls, and a smart optical design. Due to its adaptability, it is ideal for recording unscripted events like weddings, concerts or business events. It’s a perfect all-rounder for any professional. 

Best Nikon Lens for Videography

For videography, the Nikon AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR Lens is your best bet. This Nikon wide-angle and short telephoto lens is renowned for its adaptable features, svelte and portable design, and outstanding output quality. The lens uses a redesigned optical design that produces images that are perfectly clear. The lens’ imaging capabilities complement its accurate, quick, and exact autofocusing technology, further enhancing the quality of the images and videos produced. The electromagnetic aperture mechanism included into the lens design, which offers improved exposure control stability, goes hand in hand with this. This is a crucial function that is quite helpful, especially when trying out different kinds of photography.
