尼康廉价FX镜头
Now back to the 10 best lenses of all time.
书归正传,继续我们的尼康史上10个最佳镜头。
For a lens to be great, it has to serve a purpose and be easy to use. Great optics
alone aren't enough.
一款优秀的镜头,必须为其目的服务并易于操作,仅有杰出的光学设计是不够的。
All of Nikon's and Canon's ultra-teles, mid-teles, f/2.8 zooms and macros have
superb optics, but we expect that. You don't need me to list them again here.
正像我们预期的那样,尼康和佳能所有的长焦镜头、中焦镜头、2.8恒定光圈镜头和微距镜头,都有着杰出的光学设计,我没有必要在这里一一列举。
To make it to this list, a lens has to astound. It has to be far better than we expect. If
a cheap plastic lens has great optics, it's far better than a $1,800 lens that's as good.
看到这里列出的镜头,你会感到震惊,它们远比我们预想的更好。如果一只廉价的塑料镜头有着优秀的光学表现,这比那些1800美元的优秀镜头更好。
These are in no particular order. All cover FX, DX and film unless otherwise noted.
这些镜头没有特别排序,除非特别说明,包括了FX、DX格式和胶片镜头。

Nikon's Best Lenses
尼康的10个最佳镜头
50mm f/1.8D AF
(versions from 1978 - today)
Nikon 50mm f/1.8 D.
Nikon's least expensive lens is also among its sharpest. It has no distortion, focuses
almost instantly, and it's Nikon's smallest and lightest lens.
尼康最锐利的镜头中的最廉价镜头,无畸变、对焦迅速,是尼康最小、最轻的镜头。
It is among Nikon's fastest lenses, and covers film and the full FX frame.
这是尼康速度最快的镜头,可用于胶片和FX全画幅相机。
Except that the D40, D40x and D60 can't autofocus with it (neither can the F3), there
is no reason not to own one of these, unless you opt for the twice as expensive
50mm f/1.4 D.
除了在D40、D40s、D60和F3机身上不能自动对焦外,没有理由不拥有一只,除非你选择了比它贵两倍的50mm f/1.4 D。{2013年6月12日,AF 50mm f/1.4D在ZOL的报价为1980元,AF 50mm f/1.8D报价700元。 }
3
All the earlier 50mm f/1.8 lenses since 1978 are also all excellent, including the
50mm f/1.8 AF (non-D), 50mm f/1.8 Nikkor manual focus, and the 50mm f/1.8 Series
E.
从1978年开始生产的所有50mm f/1.8镜头都很优秀,包括50mm f/1.8 AF (不带D)、
50mm f/1.8 尼克尔手动对焦镜头和50mm f/1.8 Series E(E系列镜头)。
24mm f/1.4 AF-S G
(2010-today)
Nikon 24mm f/1.4 AF-S G.
Nikon's newest lens is among their best.
尼康最新最好的镜头。{这里的“最新”指该文发布时的2010年圣诞节,2010年1月至2013年6月12日今,尼康发布的新镜头如下(另外还有一大堆尼康1配套的CX镜头)}

This is not only the world's best 24mm lens, significantly better optically than the
LEICA SUMMILUX-M 24mm f/1.4 that costs three times as much, it's also an
extremely useful lens.
这不仅是世界上最好的24mm镜头,它比徕卡的LEICA SUMMILUX-M 24mm f/1.4更值得关注,后者的售价是它的三倍,这是一只非常令人满意的镜头。
If low light is your interest, I'd suggest getting this 24mm f/1.4 instead of a wide zoom.
如果你对暗光环境感兴趣,我建议你用这支喜欢24mm f/1.4而不是广角变焦。
For many people, this could be the only wide lens you'd ever need. Its performance
is unequalled at any aperture.
对许多人来说,这可能是你永远需要的唯一的广角镜头,在任何光圈下它的性能都无与伦比。
Because it has half the focal length of a 50mm lens, it can be hand-held at for
exposure times twice as long. This lets me shoot hand-held in light twice as dim as
with a 50mm f/1.4 lens, or in the same light as a 50mm f/1 lens.
因为它的焦距只有50mm标准镜头的一半,它就可以获得两倍于标头的手持曝光时间,这让我们在手持拍摄时获得两倍于50mm f/1.4镜头、或相当于50mm f/1的通光量。
Unlike a 50mm lens, it has far more depth of field at the same f/stop. This additional
depth of field also contributes to sharp hand-held photos at night. This 24mm lens at
f/1.4 has a useful depth of field, while 50mm f/1.4 lenses have only paper-thin depths
of field.
与50mm镜头不同的是,它同时具有更大的景深。这种额外的景深也大大有助于在晚上手持拍摄。这款24mm镜头在f/1.4时有令人满意的景深,而50mm f/1.4的景深仅仅像纸一样薄。
6
Nikon 35mm f/1.8 DX
(2009-today)
Nikon 35mm f/1.8 DX.
This $200 lens is a steal. It's my favorite DX lens.
这个200美元镜头便宜货,是我喜欢的DX镜头。
The 35mm f/1.8 is super-sharp, focuses instantly, it's fast, it's tough (metal mount),
and simply works perfectly.
这支35mm f/1.8非常锐利,对焦准确、迅速,皮实(金属口),简单完美。
What more can I say? Get one before Nikon catches on and raises the price.
我还能说什么?在尼康涨价之前捞一支吧。
7
Nikon 18-55mm DX
(2006-today)
Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 DX.
Even as a cheap, plastic lens, the 18-55mm is sharp, sharp, sharp, and focuses so
close that few people will need a dedicated macro lens.
即使是一只减价的塑料镜头,18-55mm就是锐利、锐利、锐利,且对焦距离很近,以至于很少有人再需要专用的微距镜头。
Included as a kit lens with Nikon's cheapest cameras, lenses this good and this
cheap ask us what would happen if Nikon put some of this same mojo into its more
expensive lenses.
作为尼康低端相机的套头,我们不禁要问,尼康在这支镜头上如此舍得下血本,到底发生了什么事。
It only covers DX digital; it can't cover film or FX.
这只镜头只能用于DX相机,不能在胶片机和FX全画幅相机上使用。
8
18-200mm VR DX (2005-today)
Nikon 18-200mm VR DX.
The 18-200mm VR is the freedom lens. It is the lens which let me get rid of the old
fashioned "camera bag" photographers used to have to carry.
这支18-200mm VR镜头让我从摄影师不得不携带摄影包的习惯中解放出来。
The 18-200mm VR replaces all the lenses we used to haul around. The only thing it
doesn't do is replace an ultra-wide lens like the 12-24mm DX, or allow us to shoot
sports in dim light like the 70-200mm VR. If you need anything longer, you'll get
better photos by getting closer with the 18-200 VR than you will by using a longer
lens like the 600mm VR.
18-200mm VR代替了我们所有的镜头,唯一不能取代的是像12-24 mm DX那样的超广角、像70-200mmVR那样的弱光体育摄影用镜头。如果你需要更长的焦距,你可以使用像600mm VR那样的长焦镜头。
Back in the days of DX cameras, the 18-200mm let me just go and shoot, and not
have to carry other lenses or have to change them in a middle of a shoot.
对于今天的DX相机,18-200mm让我们的拍摄更简单,不必携带其他镜头,在拍摄也不用换镜头。
9
135mm f/2 DC AF
(1990 - today)
Nikon 135mm f/2 DC AF
Americans just don't get this lens, because Nikon messed up its name. The 135mm
DC, or "Defocus Control," lens, is among Nikon's sharpest lenses ever. Defocus
control doesn't mean soft focus, it means "background softness control." The DC
feature is really Bokeh optimization.
因为尼康混乱的命名方式,美国人不认可这个镜头。135mm DC镜头,是尼康有史以来最锐利的镜头,DC就是散焦控制Defocus Control,散焦控制不是柔焦,他的意思是背景柔化控制,特点是真正的焦外成像优化。
The DC feature always keeps the subject ultra sharp, and allows the photographer to
defocus just the background (or foreground) into the softest, smoothest, dreamiest
and creamiest pastels ever.
DC功能能始终保持主体的锐利,并让摄影师仅仅将背景(或前景)散焦成柔软的、流畅的、梦幻般的、奶油似的轻淡柔和。
The 135mm DC is Nikon's best hand-held portrait lens ever, as well as a killer-sharp
135mm lens for everything.
135mm DC是尼康最好的手持拍摄人像镜头 ,也是其他135mm镜头的犀利杀手。
10
14-24mm f/2.8 AF-S (2007-today)
Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 AF-S.
The big, heavy 14-24mm f/2.8 AF-S just rewrote the book on ultra-wideangle lens
performance. It raises the performance bar about 20 years ahead of every other
ultra-wideangle SLR lens.
大而重德14-24mm f/2.8 AF-S改写了超广角镜头的历史,它20年之前的超广角但凡镜头为树立了榜样。
The 14-24mm is sharp, sharp, sharp, even wide open, and even in the corners.
14-24mm就是锐、锐、再锐,不管是大光圈,还是在是角部。
It's so good that people are buying special adapters just to use them on Canon
cameras!
它太优秀了,人们甚至购买专用转接环在佳能相机上使用它。
The 14-24mm is excellent on amateur DX cameras like the D300, but doesn't really
start pumping until you use it on film or a full-frame FX digital camera.
在D300一类的非职业DX相机上,14-24mm镜头是优秀的,但是,在胶片机或全画幅的FX相机上才有更优异。
I've shot a lot of fixed 24mm, 20mm, 18mm, 17mm, 15mm and 14mm lenses in my
days, and this zoom smokes them all. It lets me do things I never could, like jump
11
into a dark, abandoned building without a tripod, shoot away at f/2.8 and high ISOs
on a D3, and get out with excellent photos for which I don't need to make any
excuses.
我用过很多24mm、20mm、18mm、17mm、15mm和14mm的定焦镜头,这款变焦镜头能完胜它们,它能让我去做过去不能做的事情,比如不用三脚架在一片黑暗中用f/2.8的大光圈、高ISO拍摄建筑物,照样能拍到优质的照片。
85mm f/1.4 AI-s
(1981-2006)
Nikon 85mm f/1.4 AI-s.
The optics of most of Nikon's earlier AI-s manual focus lenses have been exceeded
in Nikon's newer AF lenses. This isn't the case here.
12
大部分尼康早期的AI-s手动对焦镜头的光学设计,已经被尼康新的AF镜头超越,这里是一个例外。
This manual focus lens outperforms its newer 85mm f/1.4 D autofocus sibling. In fact,
its so good that even after the f/1.4 autofocus lens came out, for about the same
price, Nikon kept making these for 10 more years!
这款手动对焦镜头就优于后来的85mm f/1.4 D自动对焦版。事实上,它太优秀了,即使是f/1.4 D自动镜头发布以来,大致相同的价格下,尼康还是继续生产了十年。
It's sharper than the new AF lens, and it has much better bokeh than most other
Nikon lenses.
它较新版的AF自动对焦镜头锐,背景虚化效果比其他大部分尼康镜头更好。
If I'm photographing moving people and kids, of course I'll prefer the AF lens, but if
I'm hugging a tripod, the King is still the King.
如果我拍摄运动中的人物或小孩,我当然会喜欢AF镜头,但如果我抱着一个三脚架,国王仍然是国王。
28mm f/1.4D AF
(1994-2006)
Nikon 28mm f/1.4 D AF. (blacked-out for national security purposes)
13
Nikon spent ten years perfecting this masterpiece, then discontinued it in 2006 from
lack of market interest due to its deservedly high price. Collectors finally figured it out,
and they now sell used for double what they sold for new.
尼康花了十年的时间来完善这一杰作,2006年因成本高利润低而停产。收藏家们总算弄明白了,这家伙市场价翻倍了。
This lens is special because its sharp, even in the corners, even wide-open at f/1.4.
It is worlds better than today's 35mm f/1.4 (which is a manual focus lens made since
1969) or the manual focus 28mm f/2.
这款镜头,因其锐利而特别,即使是在四角,即使是f/1.4大光圈全开。它比今天的35mm f/1.4(这是一只1969年开始生产的手动镜头)或手动版的28mm f/2更犀利。
This lens allowed me to shoot things hand-held on ISO 50 film that otherwise I could
not.
这只镜头可以让我用ISO 50的胶片手持拍摄,除非我不想这样。
70-180mm f/4.5-5.6D Micro
(1997-2004)
Nikon ED 70-180mm f/4.5-5.6 D AF Micro.
Another lens so great that the market never figured it out, this is the only true zoom
Micro (macro) lens ever made by Nikon. It also sells used for more than it sold for
when new.
还有一支让市场想不通的强大的镜头,这是尼康生产过的唯一一只真正变焦微距镜头,同样是成本高于售价。
14
Unless you're photographing stamps, which makes you silly because you'll get better
images sticking them in a scanner, shooting macro is a real pain having to move in
and out all the time to frame products and chasing moving subjects like poisonous
snakes. I know snake guys who pack heat to protect their 70-180mm lenses; these
lenses are that good and irreplaceable.
除非你想拍邮票,当然这样很傻,因为你完全可以用扫描仪获得更好的图像。微距摄影真是件痛苦差事,每时每刻都在移前移后地取景,像毒蛇一样追逐移动的目标。我知道,蛇这个家伙会想方设法去保护他们的70-180mm镜头的,这些镜头是杰出的不可替代的。
All of my recent product shots, like half the shots on this page, are shot with this lens.
我最近一段时期的作品,比如该文中一半左右的照片,就是用这支镜头拍摄的。
13mm f/5.6 AI-s
(1976 -1998)
Nikon 13mm f/5.6. enlarge.
15
The 13mm f/5.6 was the world's widest lens when it was introduced, and is still the
widest non-distorting professional SLR lens ever made in all of history.
这支13mm f/5.6镜头在发布之初,是世界上最广角的镜头,而且仍然是历史上最广的不畸变的专业单反镜头。
It covers FX; a DX lens would need a focal length of just 8.5mm to cover the same
ultra-ultra wide angle!
这是一只FX全换肤镜头,DX格式镜头则需要8.5mm的极短焦距才能获得与其相同的超超广角。
Nikon 13mm f/5.6 swallowing a D300.
This beast is big and heavy: 5 inches (12cm) around and it weighs 3 pounds (1.4kg)
with caps.
此君既大且重,算上后盖有5英寸(12cm)粗、3磅(1.4kg)重。
16
The 13mm is not a fisheye. Straight lines stay straight. In fact, just to show off, the
13mm has less distortion than zooms or most other normal and wide lenses! Drop a
ruler on lines in the image, and they're straight.
这个镜头不时鱼眼镜头,直上直下。值得炫耀的是,它比变焦镜头或其他的普通广角镜头畸变更小,笔直的直线拍出来就是笔直的。
It was made back when Nikon was still great enough and crazy enough to make
things just because they could. It always cost a significant fraction of what the
average American family earns in a year, and used ones today sell for about the
same real price as when new: about $5,000 to $20,000.
这是尼康所作的足够大胆足够疯狂的产品,只为了证明他们的能力。总成本相当于普通美国家庭一年的平均收入,现在的价格约5000美元至20000美元。
I lusted after the 13mm ever since I was a kid in the 1970s. I saw one on display at
Nikon House in Rockefeller Center in New York City in the 1970s, and saw one
again in early 2008, from which I'll be penning a review one of these days.
从20世纪年代我还是个孩子的时候起,一直渴望有这支13mm镜头,那时我在纽约洛克菲勒中心的尼康展厅上看到了它,并在2008年初再一次见到,总有一天我会写下这些回忆。
Nikon only made these to special order, and only made a few hundred of them
across 20 years. Customers who took factory delivery in Japan were treated to a
ceremony where the lens was blessed by a Shinto priest. I've only seen two in my
life, both in captivity, and never seen one in the field.
尼康仅接受特殊订货才生产,20多年来只生产过几百只,客户在日本工厂接受镜头交货被视为是一种神圣的仪式。终我之一生仅看见过两次,还都是在展柜里面,想摸一下都做不到。
Sigma makes an inexpensive 12-24mm zoom that may be wider, but it's not a
professional lens, its not a Nikon lens, and it distorts slightly. Nikon's 14mm f/2.8 and
14-24mm AF-S are not quite as wide, and have more distortion.
适马公司制造了便宜的、更广的12-24mm变焦镜头,但这不是一只专业镜头,它不是尼康镜头,畸变严重。尼康的14mm f/2.8和14-24mm AF-S没有那么广,也没有那么多畸变。
This 13mm is also unusual in that it has little to no distortion of straight lines. Unlike
zooms and most fixed lenses like the current 14mm f/2.8 and 14-24mm AF-S, make
a photo of the horizon along the bottom or shoot a brick wall, and everything stays
straight and square. Of course even the slightest tilt on your part throws everything
into a bizarre angular array of converging and diverging lines, but that's the fun.
这只13mm镜头也不寻常,失真小到几乎没有。不像时下诸如14mm f/2.8、14-24mm AF-S之类的定焦、 变焦镜头。即使沿着地平线拍摄砖墙,线条仍然保持直线砖块仍旧是矩形,没有一丁点儿筒形或枕形畸变,这就是乐趣。
17
Don't expect ever to see one of these, since production was so low. Just get the 14-24mm AF-S , which is a lot less expensive, two stops faster and a lot sharper.
别奢望能见到一支这样的镜头,它的产量实在太少了。入手14-24mm AF-S吧,便宜很多、只小两档光圈、锐度仅差一点点。
28-80mm G
(2001-2006)
and 28-200mm G (2003-2006)
Nikon 28-80mm G, in ghastly silver.
Nikon 28-200mm G
18
These are very inexpensive plastic-mount lenses that came out in 2001 and 2003 for
sale with Nikon's cheapest film cameras like the N55 and N75. No one paid any
attention, because everyone was swapping over to digital cameras faster than Nikon
guessed, leaving Nikon stuck with pallets of unsold N75s.
这些都是非常廉价的塑料卡口镜头,在2001年和2003年与尼康最便宜的胶片相机N55、N75一起销售。 没有人注意它,因为人们比尼康的预计更快地更换成了数码相机,尼康的N75s胎死腹中。
These two lenses incorporate every trick Nikon has learned over decades and
decades of lens design and volume manufacturing. Each uses aspherical elements
to improve performance and reduce size and weight.
尼康把数十年设计和生产镜头的的经验用在了这些镜头上,并使用了非球面镜片,以提高性能,减少尺寸和重量。
Both are sharp, even in the corners. Even the 28-80mm G is sharper than the far
more expensive 24-120mm VR, which made my 10-Worst list.
这两款镜头都锐利,即使在角部。即使是28-80mm G,也远比昂贵的24-120mm VR锐利,那是一款位列10差镜头的主。
Each of these lenses isn't quite as sharp as Nikon's best, but pretty darn close. What
gets them on my Best list is that they are this good at such a low price, and that they
are tiny and weigh nothing for easy carrying.
这些镜头每一个都不如尼康最好的镜头锐,但相当的接近。它们能进入10佳镜头榜的原因是,低价、优质、轻巧、便于携带。{Nikon 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6G,直径66.5mm,长度64mm,重量195g,现价700元;Nikon 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6D IF AF,直径78mm,长度86.5mm,重量360g,现价2300元。}
The 28-200mm G is a miracle. Not only is it pretty sharp in most cases, what gets it
on my Best list is that it focuses so closely at every focal length. It focuses down to
17 inches (43cm) at every focal length, much closer than any other Nikon tele, ever.
Most teles, like the 135mm DC, often can't focus closely enough for photos of baby
heads. This 28-200mm does. The AF isn't that fast since it covers such a wide range,
but its fast enough.
28-200mm G是一个奇迹,在大多数情况下相当锐利。它能进入10佳列表的重要原因,是它的最近对焦距离,短至17英寸(43cm),比尼康任一款长焦镜头都近。大部分长焦,比如135mm DC,时常因距离被摄对象太近而不能聚焦,28-200mm就可以。由于变焦范围大使得它的自动对焦速度没那么快,但是足够快了。
The 28-80mm G focuses more closely than other Nikon lenses, often eliminating the
need for a macro lens. It autofocuses faster than any other Nikon AF lens, including
the AF-S lenses. Just try one; it's uncanny how instantly and exactly it focuses.
19
28-80mm G对焦距离更近,可用来代替微距镜头。自动对焦的速度超过尼康的任何其他AF、AF-S镜头。 搞一只吧,快速精确的对焦,不可思议。
If I want a "do everything" lens for my D3 or D700, it's not the 24-120mm VR. It's the
plastic 28-200mm G.
如果给我的D3或D700一支万金油镜头,不是24-120mm VR,是这支28-200mm G塑料镜头。
80-200mm f/4.5n AI
(1977-1981)
Nikon Zoom-NIKKOR 80-200mm f/4.5n AI.
Selling today for $35 at garage sales, or not more than $199 at dealers, this
unassuming tele zoom just happens to be the sharpest tele zoom I've ever tested. In
my 105mm center, 200mm center, 105mm corner and 200mm corner sharpness
comparisons, it's the most consistent performer.
返修品35美元,全新品不超过199美元,这支不事张扬的望远变焦镜头恰恰是我测试过的最清晰的远摄变焦镜头。 在105mm中心、200mm中心、105mm角部、200mm角部清晰度对比中,它的表现最稳定。
20
All Nikon's 80-200mm f/4.5 zooms are excellent. I found the best is this AI "n" (new)
version, which is recognized by the black rectangular plate on its rear mount.
所有尼康的80-200mm f/4.5变焦镜头都非常优秀, 我发现最好的是这款安装后口带黑色矩形孔的AI的“n”(new新)版本。
The zoom and focus are supposed to be loose and slippery. This was the sports and
action lens of its day. No one was silly enough to shoot zooms on tripods pointed
down, so creep wasn't the issue.
变焦和对焦都轻快顺滑,这是一款体育运动镜头。 没有人愚蠢到在三脚架上拍摄时将镜头朝下,所以蠕变现象{这款镜头在口部小地面时,镜头会慢慢滑出}不是问题。
This Nikkor lens was made with such incredible precision that it didn't need to be
pumped full of grease to fill up the internal slop of cheaper lenses of its day. It is so
well made that it works with little or any lubrication, so it can work in temperature
extremes and needs only a tiny flick to move the settings. Notice how it moves so
easily, but that there is no play in any of the movement.
尼克尔镜头的制作精度令人难以置信,镜头内部空间没有被涂得满是油脂,极少的润滑足以时期很好地工作,所以它可以在极端温度下工作,只需一个很小力度家可以动作。 看看,多么容易,没有任何多余动作。
300mm f/2.8 ED-IF
(1977-1982, continues today)
Nikon NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8 ED-IF.
Nikon's first internal-focusing 300mm f/2.8 lens of 1977 quickly became the news
and sports photographers standard long lens. It was fast enough to shoot indoor
sports, and the internal-focusing design let it focus from near to far with the flick of a
finger.
21
尼康1977年发布的首款内对焦300m m f/2.8镜头,迅速成为新闻和体育摄影师的标准长焦镜头。拍摄室内运动速度够快,内对焦设计使由近到远的调节用一只手指就能轻松完成。
The ED glass allowed superb optical quality in a super-speed long lens.
ED镜片用在超高速长焦镜头上,能带来卓越的的光学性能。
See the Nikon NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8 ED-IF review, and the History of Nikon 300mm
f/2.8 lenses.
请参阅尼康尼克尔镜头Nikon NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8 ED-IF的评测,以及尼康尼克尔300mm f/2.8镜头的历史沿革。
Today, this lens' sprit lives on in the Nikon N AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II.
如今,这个镜头的精髓在尼康自动对焦尼科尔镜头Nikon N AF-S NIKKOR 300mm
f/2.8G ED VR II上得到了体现。
Hey, That's 13 Lenses!
嗨,这是13个镜头呀!
Sorry, I gave you some extra — for free! "10 Best" sounds better than "13 Best," and
encourages me to to pull one if it misbehaves.
不好意思,我额外多为你写几个,免费的!“十佳”总比“十三佳”好听,而且这样能促使我把其中的一支拉下马,如果它稍有不轨。

尼康廉价FX镜头
Now back to the 10 best lenses of all time.
书归正传,继续我们的尼康史上10个最佳镜头。
For a lens to be great, it has to serve a purpose and be easy to use. Great optics
alone aren't enough.
一款优秀的镜头,必须为其目的服务并易于操作,仅有杰出的光学设计是不够的。
All of Nikon's and Canon's ultra-teles, mid-teles, f/2.8 zooms and macros have
superb optics, but we expect that. You don't need me to list them again here.
正像我们预期的那样,尼康和佳能所有的长焦镜头、中焦镜头、2.8恒定光圈镜头和微距镜头,都有着杰出的光学设计,我没有必要在这里一一列举。
To make it to this list, a lens has to astound. It has to be far better than we expect. If
a cheap plastic lens has great optics, it's far better than a $1,800 lens that's as good.
看到这里列出的镜头,你会感到震惊,它们远比我们预想的更好。如果一只廉价的塑料镜头有着优秀的光学表现,这比那些1800美元的优秀镜头更好。
These are in no particular order. All cover FX, DX and film unless otherwise noted.
这些镜头没有特别排序,除非特别说明,包括了FX、DX格式和胶片镜头。

Nikon's Best Lenses
尼康的10个最佳镜头
50mm f/1.8D AF
(versions from 1978 - today)
Nikon 50mm f/1.8 D.
Nikon's least expensive lens is also among its sharpest. It has no distortion, focuses
almost instantly, and it's Nikon's smallest and lightest lens.
尼康最锐利的镜头中的最廉价镜头,无畸变、对焦迅速,是尼康最小、最轻的镜头。
It is among Nikon's fastest lenses, and covers film and the full FX frame.
这是尼康速度最快的镜头,可用于胶片和FX全画幅相机。
Except that the D40, D40x and D60 can't autofocus with it (neither can the F3), there
is no reason not to own one of these, unless you opt for the twice as expensive
50mm f/1.4 D.
除了在D40、D40s、D60和F3机身上不能自动对焦外,没有理由不拥有一只,除非你选择了比它贵两倍的50mm f/1.4 D。{2013年6月12日,AF 50mm f/1.4D在ZOL的报价为1980元,AF 50mm f/1.8D报价700元。 }
3
All the earlier 50mm f/1.8 lenses since 1978 are also all excellent, including the
50mm f/1.8 AF (non-D), 50mm f/1.8 Nikkor manual focus, and the 50mm f/1.8 Series
E.
从1978年开始生产的所有50mm f/1.8镜头都很优秀,包括50mm f/1.8 AF (不带D)、
50mm f/1.8 尼克尔手动对焦镜头和50mm f/1.8 Series E(E系列镜头)。
24mm f/1.4 AF-S G
(2010-today)
Nikon 24mm f/1.4 AF-S G.
Nikon's newest lens is among their best.
尼康最新最好的镜头。{这里的“最新”指该文发布时的2010年圣诞节,2010年1月至2013年6月12日今,尼康发布的新镜头如下(另外还有一大堆尼康1配套的CX镜头)}

This is not only the world's best 24mm lens, significantly better optically than the
LEICA SUMMILUX-M 24mm f/1.4 that costs three times as much, it's also an
extremely useful lens.
这不仅是世界上最好的24mm镜头,它比徕卡的LEICA SUMMILUX-M 24mm f/1.4更值得关注,后者的售价是它的三倍,这是一只非常令人满意的镜头。
If low light is your interest, I'd suggest getting this 24mm f/1.4 instead of a wide zoom.
如果你对暗光环境感兴趣,我建议你用这支喜欢24mm f/1.4而不是广角变焦。
For many people, this could be the only wide lens you'd ever need. Its performance
is unequalled at any aperture.
对许多人来说,这可能是你永远需要的唯一的广角镜头,在任何光圈下它的性能都无与伦比。
Because it has half the focal length of a 50mm lens, it can be hand-held at for
exposure times twice as long. This lets me shoot hand-held in light twice as dim as
with a 50mm f/1.4 lens, or in the same light as a 50mm f/1 lens.
因为它的焦距只有50mm标准镜头的一半,它就可以获得两倍于标头的手持曝光时间,这让我们在手持拍摄时获得两倍于50mm f/1.4镜头、或相当于50mm f/1的通光量。
Unlike a 50mm lens, it has far more depth of field at the same f/stop. This additional
depth of field also contributes to sharp hand-held photos at night. This 24mm lens at
f/1.4 has a useful depth of field, while 50mm f/1.4 lenses have only paper-thin depths
of field.
与50mm镜头不同的是,它同时具有更大的景深。这种额外的景深也大大有助于在晚上手持拍摄。这款24mm镜头在f/1.4时有令人满意的景深,而50mm f/1.4的景深仅仅像纸一样薄。
6
Nikon 35mm f/1.8 DX
(2009-today)
Nikon 35mm f/1.8 DX.
This $200 lens is a steal. It's my favorite DX lens.
这个200美元镜头便宜货,是我喜欢的DX镜头。
The 35mm f/1.8 is super-sharp, focuses instantly, it's fast, it's tough (metal mount),
and simply works perfectly.
这支35mm f/1.8非常锐利,对焦准确、迅速,皮实(金属口),简单完美。
What more can I say? Get one before Nikon catches on and raises the price.
我还能说什么?在尼康涨价之前捞一支吧。
7
Nikon 18-55mm DX
(2006-today)
Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 DX.
Even as a cheap, plastic lens, the 18-55mm is sharp, sharp, sharp, and focuses so
close that few people will need a dedicated macro lens.
即使是一只减价的塑料镜头,18-55mm就是锐利、锐利、锐利,且对焦距离很近,以至于很少有人再需要专用的微距镜头。
Included as a kit lens with Nikon's cheapest cameras, lenses this good and this
cheap ask us what would happen if Nikon put some of this same mojo into its more
expensive lenses.
作为尼康低端相机的套头,我们不禁要问,尼康在这支镜头上如此舍得下血本,到底发生了什么事。
It only covers DX digital; it can't cover film or FX.
这只镜头只能用于DX相机,不能在胶片机和FX全画幅相机上使用。
8
18-200mm VR DX (2005-today)
Nikon 18-200mm VR DX.
The 18-200mm VR is the freedom lens. It is the lens which let me get rid of the old
fashioned "camera bag" photographers used to have to carry.
这支18-200mm VR镜头让我从摄影师不得不携带摄影包的习惯中解放出来。
The 18-200mm VR replaces all the lenses we used to haul around. The only thing it
doesn't do is replace an ultra-wide lens like the 12-24mm DX, or allow us to shoot
sports in dim light like the 70-200mm VR. If you need anything longer, you'll get
better photos by getting closer with the 18-200 VR than you will by using a longer
lens like the 600mm VR.
18-200mm VR代替了我们所有的镜头,唯一不能取代的是像12-24 mm DX那样的超广角、像70-200mmVR那样的弱光体育摄影用镜头。如果你需要更长的焦距,你可以使用像600mm VR那样的长焦镜头。
Back in the days of DX cameras, the 18-200mm let me just go and shoot, and not
have to carry other lenses or have to change them in a middle of a shoot.
对于今天的DX相机,18-200mm让我们的拍摄更简单,不必携带其他镜头,在拍摄也不用换镜头。
9
135mm f/2 DC AF
(1990 - today)
Nikon 135mm f/2 DC AF
Americans just don't get this lens, because Nikon messed up its name. The 135mm
DC, or "Defocus Control," lens, is among Nikon's sharpest lenses ever. Defocus
control doesn't mean soft focus, it means "background softness control." The DC
feature is really Bokeh optimization.
因为尼康混乱的命名方式,美国人不认可这个镜头。135mm DC镜头,是尼康有史以来最锐利的镜头,DC就是散焦控制Defocus Control,散焦控制不是柔焦,他的意思是背景柔化控制,特点是真正的焦外成像优化。
The DC feature always keeps the subject ultra sharp, and allows the photographer to
defocus just the background (or foreground) into the softest, smoothest, dreamiest
and creamiest pastels ever.
DC功能能始终保持主体的锐利,并让摄影师仅仅将背景(或前景)散焦成柔软的、流畅的、梦幻般的、奶油似的轻淡柔和。
The 135mm DC is Nikon's best hand-held portrait lens ever, as well as a killer-sharp
135mm lens for everything.
135mm DC是尼康最好的手持拍摄人像镜头 ,也是其他135mm镜头的犀利杀手。
10
14-24mm f/2.8 AF-S (2007-today)
Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 AF-S.
The big, heavy 14-24mm f/2.8 AF-S just rewrote the book on ultra-wideangle lens
performance. It raises the performance bar about 20 years ahead of every other
ultra-wideangle SLR lens.
大而重德14-24mm f/2.8 AF-S改写了超广角镜头的历史,它20年之前的超广角但凡镜头为树立了榜样。
The 14-24mm is sharp, sharp, sharp, even wide open, and even in the corners.
14-24mm就是锐、锐、再锐,不管是大光圈,还是在是角部。
It's so good that people are buying special adapters just to use them on Canon
cameras!
它太优秀了,人们甚至购买专用转接环在佳能相机上使用它。
The 14-24mm is excellent on amateur DX cameras like the D300, but doesn't really
start pumping until you use it on film or a full-frame FX digital camera.
在D300一类的非职业DX相机上,14-24mm镜头是优秀的,但是,在胶片机或全画幅的FX相机上才有更优异。
I've shot a lot of fixed 24mm, 20mm, 18mm, 17mm, 15mm and 14mm lenses in my
days, and this zoom smokes them all. It lets me do things I never could, like jump
11
into a dark, abandoned building without a tripod, shoot away at f/2.8 and high ISOs
on a D3, and get out with excellent photos for which I don't need to make any
excuses.
我用过很多24mm、20mm、18mm、17mm、15mm和14mm的定焦镜头,这款变焦镜头能完胜它们,它能让我去做过去不能做的事情,比如不用三脚架在一片黑暗中用f/2.8的大光圈、高ISO拍摄建筑物,照样能拍到优质的照片。
85mm f/1.4 AI-s
(1981-2006)
Nikon 85mm f/1.4 AI-s.
The optics of most of Nikon's earlier AI-s manual focus lenses have been exceeded
in Nikon's newer AF lenses. This isn't the case here.
12
大部分尼康早期的AI-s手动对焦镜头的光学设计,已经被尼康新的AF镜头超越,这里是一个例外。
This manual focus lens outperforms its newer 85mm f/1.4 D autofocus sibling. In fact,
its so good that even after the f/1.4 autofocus lens came out, for about the same
price, Nikon kept making these for 10 more years!
这款手动对焦镜头就优于后来的85mm f/1.4 D自动对焦版。事实上,它太优秀了,即使是f/1.4 D自动镜头发布以来,大致相同的价格下,尼康还是继续生产了十年。
It's sharper than the new AF lens, and it has much better bokeh than most other
Nikon lenses.
它较新版的AF自动对焦镜头锐,背景虚化效果比其他大部分尼康镜头更好。
If I'm photographing moving people and kids, of course I'll prefer the AF lens, but if
I'm hugging a tripod, the King is still the King.
如果我拍摄运动中的人物或小孩,我当然会喜欢AF镜头,但如果我抱着一个三脚架,国王仍然是国王。
28mm f/1.4D AF
(1994-2006)
Nikon 28mm f/1.4 D AF. (blacked-out for national security purposes)
13
Nikon spent ten years perfecting this masterpiece, then discontinued it in 2006 from
lack of market interest due to its deservedly high price. Collectors finally figured it out,
and they now sell used for double what they sold for new.
尼康花了十年的时间来完善这一杰作,2006年因成本高利润低而停产。收藏家们总算弄明白了,这家伙市场价翻倍了。
This lens is special because its sharp, even in the corners, even wide-open at f/1.4.
It is worlds better than today's 35mm f/1.4 (which is a manual focus lens made since
1969) or the manual focus 28mm f/2.
这款镜头,因其锐利而特别,即使是在四角,即使是f/1.4大光圈全开。它比今天的35mm f/1.4(这是一只1969年开始生产的手动镜头)或手动版的28mm f/2更犀利。
This lens allowed me to shoot things hand-held on ISO 50 film that otherwise I could
not.
这只镜头可以让我用ISO 50的胶片手持拍摄,除非我不想这样。
70-180mm f/4.5-5.6D Micro
(1997-2004)
Nikon ED 70-180mm f/4.5-5.6 D AF Micro.
Another lens so great that the market never figured it out, this is the only true zoom
Micro (macro) lens ever made by Nikon. It also sells used for more than it sold for
when new.
还有一支让市场想不通的强大的镜头,这是尼康生产过的唯一一只真正变焦微距镜头,同样是成本高于售价。
14
Unless you're photographing stamps, which makes you silly because you'll get better
images sticking them in a scanner, shooting macro is a real pain having to move in
and out all the time to frame products and chasing moving subjects like poisonous
snakes. I know snake guys who pack heat to protect their 70-180mm lenses; these
lenses are that good and irreplaceable.
除非你想拍邮票,当然这样很傻,因为你完全可以用扫描仪获得更好的图像。微距摄影真是件痛苦差事,每时每刻都在移前移后地取景,像毒蛇一样追逐移动的目标。我知道,蛇这个家伙会想方设法去保护他们的70-180mm镜头的,这些镜头是杰出的不可替代的。
All of my recent product shots, like half the shots on this page, are shot with this lens.
我最近一段时期的作品,比如该文中一半左右的照片,就是用这支镜头拍摄的。
13mm f/5.6 AI-s
(1976 -1998)
Nikon 13mm f/5.6. enlarge.
15
The 13mm f/5.6 was the world's widest lens when it was introduced, and is still the
widest non-distorting professional SLR lens ever made in all of history.
这支13mm f/5.6镜头在发布之初,是世界上最广角的镜头,而且仍然是历史上最广的不畸变的专业单反镜头。
It covers FX; a DX lens would need a focal length of just 8.5mm to cover the same
ultra-ultra wide angle!
这是一只FX全换肤镜头,DX格式镜头则需要8.5mm的极短焦距才能获得与其相同的超超广角。
Nikon 13mm f/5.6 swallowing a D300.
This beast is big and heavy: 5 inches (12cm) around and it weighs 3 pounds (1.4kg)
with caps.
此君既大且重,算上后盖有5英寸(12cm)粗、3磅(1.4kg)重。
16
The 13mm is not a fisheye. Straight lines stay straight. In fact, just to show off, the
13mm has less distortion than zooms or most other normal and wide lenses! Drop a
ruler on lines in the image, and they're straight.
这个镜头不时鱼眼镜头,直上直下。值得炫耀的是,它比变焦镜头或其他的普通广角镜头畸变更小,笔直的直线拍出来就是笔直的。
It was made back when Nikon was still great enough and crazy enough to make
things just because they could. It always cost a significant fraction of what the
average American family earns in a year, and used ones today sell for about the
same real price as when new: about $5,000 to $20,000.
这是尼康所作的足够大胆足够疯狂的产品,只为了证明他们的能力。总成本相当于普通美国家庭一年的平均收入,现在的价格约5000美元至20000美元。
I lusted after the 13mm ever since I was a kid in the 1970s. I saw one on display at
Nikon House in Rockefeller Center in New York City in the 1970s, and saw one
again in early 2008, from which I'll be penning a review one of these days.
从20世纪年代我还是个孩子的时候起,一直渴望有这支13mm镜头,那时我在纽约洛克菲勒中心的尼康展厅上看到了它,并在2008年初再一次见到,总有一天我会写下这些回忆。
Nikon only made these to special order, and only made a few hundred of them
across 20 years. Customers who took factory delivery in Japan were treated to a
ceremony where the lens was blessed by a Shinto priest. I've only seen two in my
life, both in captivity, and never seen one in the field.
尼康仅接受特殊订货才生产,20多年来只生产过几百只,客户在日本工厂接受镜头交货被视为是一种神圣的仪式。终我之一生仅看见过两次,还都是在展柜里面,想摸一下都做不到。
Sigma makes an inexpensive 12-24mm zoom that may be wider, but it's not a
professional lens, its not a Nikon lens, and it distorts slightly. Nikon's 14mm f/2.8 and
14-24mm AF-S are not quite as wide, and have more distortion.
适马公司制造了便宜的、更广的12-24mm变焦镜头,但这不是一只专业镜头,它不是尼康镜头,畸变严重。尼康的14mm f/2.8和14-24mm AF-S没有那么广,也没有那么多畸变。
This 13mm is also unusual in that it has little to no distortion of straight lines. Unlike
zooms and most fixed lenses like the current 14mm f/2.8 and 14-24mm AF-S, make
a photo of the horizon along the bottom or shoot a brick wall, and everything stays
straight and square. Of course even the slightest tilt on your part throws everything
into a bizarre angular array of converging and diverging lines, but that's the fun.
这只13mm镜头也不寻常,失真小到几乎没有。不像时下诸如14mm f/2.8、14-24mm AF-S之类的定焦、 变焦镜头。即使沿着地平线拍摄砖墙,线条仍然保持直线砖块仍旧是矩形,没有一丁点儿筒形或枕形畸变,这就是乐趣。

Don't expect ever to see one of these, since production was so low. Just get the 14-24mm AF-S , which is a lot less expensive, two stops faster and a lot sharper.
别奢望能见到一支这样的镜头,它的产量实在太少了。入手14-24mm AF-S吧,便宜很多、只小两档光圈、锐度仅差一点点。
28-80mm G
(2001-2006)
and 28-200mm G (2003-2006)
Nikon 28-80mm G, in ghastly silver.
Nikon 28-200mm G
18
These are very inexpensive plastic-mount lenses that came out in 2001 and 2003 for
sale with Nikon's cheapest film cameras like the N55 and N75. No one paid any
attention, because everyone was swapping over to digital cameras faster than Nikon
guessed, leaving Nikon stuck with pallets of unsold N75s.
这些都是非常廉价的塑料卡口镜头,在2001年和2003年与尼康最便宜的胶片相机N55、N75一起销售。 没有人注意它,因为人们比尼康的预计更快地更换成了数码相机,尼康的N75s胎死腹中。
These two lenses incorporate every trick Nikon has learned over decades and
decades of lens design and volume manufacturing. Each uses aspherical elements
to improve performance and reduce size and weight.
尼康把数十年设计和生产镜头的的经验用在了这些镜头上,并使用了非球面镜片,以提高性能,减少尺寸和重量。
Both are sharp, even in the corners. Even the 28-80mm G is sharper than the far
more expensive 24-120mm VR, which made my 10-Worst list.
这两款镜头都锐利,即使在角部。即使是28-80mm G,也远比昂贵的24-120mm VR锐利,那是一款位列10差镜头的主。
Each of these lenses isn't quite as sharp as Nikon's best, but pretty darn close. What
gets them on my Best list is that they are this good at such a low price, and that they
are tiny and weigh nothing for easy carrying.
这些镜头每一个都不如尼康最好的镜头锐,但相当的接近。它们能进入10佳镜头榜的原因是,低价、优质、轻巧、便于携带。{Nikon 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6G,直径66.5mm,长度64mm,重量195g,现价700元;Nikon 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6D IF AF,直径78mm,长度86.5mm,重量360g,现价2300元。}
The 28-200mm G is a miracle. Not only is it pretty sharp in most cases, what gets it
on my Best list is that it focuses so closely at every focal length. It focuses down to
17 inches (43cm) at every focal length, much closer than any other Nikon tele, ever.
Most teles, like the 135mm DC, often can't focus closely enough for photos of baby
heads. This 28-200mm does. The AF isn't that fast since it covers such a wide range,
but its fast enough.
28-200mm G是一个奇迹,在大多数情况下相当锐利。它能进入10佳列表的重要原因,是它的最近对焦距离,短至17英寸(43cm),比尼康任一款长焦镜头都近。大部分长焦,比如135mm DC,时常因距离被摄对象太近而不能聚焦,28-200mm就可以。由于变焦范围大使得它的自动对焦速度没那么快,但是足够快了。
The 28-80mm G focuses more closely than other Nikon lenses, often eliminating the
need for a macro lens. It autofocuses faster than any other Nikon AF lens, including
the AF-S lenses. Just try one; it's uncanny how instantly and exactly it focuses.

28-80mm G对焦距离更近,可用来代替微距镜头。自动对焦的速度超过尼康的任何其他AF、AF-S镜头。 搞一只吧,快速精确的对焦,不可思议。
If I want a "do everything" lens for my D3 or D700, it's not the 24-120mm VR. It's the
plastic 28-200mm G.
如果给我的D3或D700一支万金油镜头,不是24-120mm VR,是这支28-200mm G塑料镜头。
80-200mm f/4.5n AI
(1977-1981)
Nikon Zoom-NIKKOR 80-200mm f/4.5n AI.
Selling today for $35 at garage sales, or not more than $199 at dealers, this
unassuming tele zoom just happens to be the sharpest tele zoom I've ever tested. In
my 105mm center, 200mm center, 105mm corner and 200mm corner sharpness
comparisons, it's the most consistent performer.
返修品35美元,全新品不超过199美元,这支不事张扬的望远变焦镜头恰恰是我测试过的最清晰的远摄变焦镜头。 在105mm中心、200mm中心、105mm角部、200mm角部清晰度对比中,它的表现最稳定。
20
All Nikon's 80-200mm f/4.5 zooms are excellent. I found the best is this AI "n" (new)
version, which is recognized by the black rectangular plate on its rear mount.
所有尼康的80-200mm f/4.5变焦镜头都非常优秀, 我发现最好的是这款安装后口带黑色矩形孔的AI的“n”(new新)版本。
The zoom and focus are supposed to be loose and slippery. This was the sports and
action lens of its day. No one was silly enough to shoot zooms on tripods pointed
down, so creep wasn't the issue.
变焦和对焦都轻快顺滑,这是一款体育运动镜头。 没有人愚蠢到在三脚架上拍摄时将镜头朝下,所以蠕变现象{这款镜头在口部小地面时,镜头会慢慢滑出}不是问题。
This Nikkor lens was made with such incredible precision that it didn't need to be
pumped full of grease to fill up the internal slop of cheaper lenses of its day. It is so
well made that it works with little or any lubrication, so it can work in temperature
extremes and needs only a tiny flick to move the settings. Notice how it moves so
easily, but that there is no play in any of the movement.
尼克尔镜头的制作精度令人难以置信,镜头内部空间没有被涂得满是油脂,极少的润滑足以时期很好地工作,所以它可以在极端温度下工作,只需一个很小力度家可以动作。 看看,多么容易,没有任何多余动作。
300mm f/2.8 ED-IF
(1977-1982, continues today)
Nikon NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8 ED-IF.
Nikon's first internal-focusing 300mm f/2.8 lens of 1977 quickly became the news
and sports photographers standard long lens. It was fast enough to shoot indoor
sports, and the internal-focusing design let it focus from near to far with the flick of a
finger.
21
尼康1977年发布的首款内对焦300m m f/2.8镜头,迅速成为新闻和体育摄影师的标准长焦镜头。拍摄室内运动速度够快,内对焦设计使由近到远的调节用一只手指就能轻松完成。
The ED glass allowed superb optical quality in a super-speed long lens.
ED镜片用在超高速长焦镜头上,能带来卓越的的光学性能。

Today, this lens' sprit lives on in the Nikon N AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II.
如今,这个镜头的精髓在尼康自动对焦尼科尔镜头Nikon N AF-S NIKKOR 300mm
f/2.8G ED VR II上得到了体现。
Hey, That's 13 Lenses!
嗨,这是13个镜头呀!
Sorry, I gave you some extra — for free! "10 Best" sounds better than "13 Best," and
encourages me to to pull one if it misbehaves.
不好意思,我额外多为你写几个,免费的!“十佳”总比“十三佳”好听,而且这样能促使我把其中的一支拉下马,如果它稍有不轨。
