While not there for anything but fun, I managed to snap off this shot that I liked.  Converted to B/W - D7100 w/Sigma 24-60mm f2.8 Kualoa Ranch

Loved my ai version of this lens.  One of nikons sharpest.

My rear lens mount's aren't filthy, but when I do wipe the mount with a clean white tee shirt I do see what looks like grease.

Is it ok to clean the rear lens mount (the metal ring) with regular rubbing alcohol?  I heard the angry photographer mention something like this but can't find the video. Thanks!

Here's a shot from my D3 using the Nikon 35mm f1.8 FX Shot wide open too:

Bump.

I don't have the Nikon version but I do own the Sigma, and it's sharp with great colors on my D800. I'll post some shots a bit later. Great value for the money.

Also take a look at the tamron 90mm f2.8 non vc macro or tonkina 100mm  lenses too.

Very complete list, this will be hard.  Might I suggest going thru your photos and tally which lens (lenses) you used most often?  Aside from the long lens this will give you a real world idea of ...

The original is my favorite,  love the colors.  Great shot and thanks for sharing.

The nikon 35mm fx will be less expensive than the sigma f1.4.  I've owned both and if you can swing it get the sigma.  The sigma handles CA better than the nikon.

Or you can down grade the firmware on the d500.

Check roberts photo or used pro photo lens prices first.  Or if you're not in a hurry then ebay or CL.  Good luck!

Was my Nikon 35mm f1.8 FX, sold that for a Sigma 35mm f1.4 Art.  So 35mm I guess...

Figure out what focal length you shoot most at.  If you don't know then get the 35mm or the cheap 50mm f1.8.  I use the 35mm, it's my favorite lens.

Unless you have exposure problems with your D750 then NO!  No difference, and the fact that your using primes then even less. Resist!  At least until the D850 are a few years old and can be had at ...

Have and love the Tamron 90mm VC (1st gen), however I never use VC when taking close up shots.  So I recommend you save some $$$ and buy the non VC version, just as sharp and can be had for $200 ...

Great image.  I really like it.

Take a look at the tamron 90mm non vc macro.  Super sharp and cheap.  Can be had for under $200.
