My 'ULTIMATE' NIKON Full Frame Lens Kit

My "ULTIMATE" Nikon Full Frame Lens Kit

I own a lot of NIKON lenses and wanted to share with you what I think makes up My "ULTIMATE" full frame lens kit.

Whether your own the Nikon D5, D4s, D4, D3s, Df, D810, D800, D750 or D610 these are the lenses I think make up the Ultimate Nikon Lens Kit.

If I was to travel the world and could only take a handful of lenses I would take the Hebrew Trinity plus one.

Nikon 14-24 2.8
Nikon 24-70 2.8 VR
Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR II
Nikon 300 F4 PF

With these three lenses I could shoot anything anywhere at any time. If I needed to do video or stills I would be covered from 14-300mm.

But if I could take more lenses I would add the Nikon 105 F1.4 which is an absolutely INSANE piece of glass.

What are some of your go to lenses on the Nikon side?

Rick from pawn stars: Best I can do is $20.

So basically buy the most expensive lens in every category?

My lens kit with my D810 beast!
All prime 28 1.4D, 50 1.4G and 85 1.4G.
Zooms: 16-35 f/4VR, 24-70 f/2.8V1, 70-200 f/2.8 V2 - all 77mm ;)

The 50mm 1.4 is essential in my kit. It's the ultimate walking around lens. Small, sharp lightweight, and fast. I carry the 24-70 and the 70-200 VR (mine is a Version 1), and I usually pack an old 17-35 for landscapes because I don't want to shell out for the 14-24 until I need it, and I have an old (really old!) 105mm macro that works just fine (I've shot a bunch of product with it, it's still a sweet lens). I rent everything else. Would love to add 2 primes-- the 24 and 85 and a tilt-shift.

[crazy-eyewoodguy]

The only one I would add would be the 135 F2 DC. I freaking love it!

How to make it on Fro's top lenses list:

-Only consider "sharpness" and no other lens aspect
-Believe that newer is always better
-Believe that more expensive is always better
-Believe that wider aperture is always better

And then you have a winner!

Next time you're throwing some Nikon glass throw some this way :)

New to DSLR (Used to shoot manual Nikons, got out of the game, now back in with DSLR). My target is wildlife, birds mostly. Chose the D500 with the 200-500 5.6. For everything else, I just purchased the 17-55mm 2.8G, and plan on purchasing the 70-200mm f2.8E FL ED .VRII. For right now this is what the budget allows. Got a lot to learn and I am very, very grateful to the experts out there with uTube channels. TY, TY, TY. A great starting point to help me get off the ground with DSLR.

Yellow shirt for Nikon and red for Canon, love it! :)

[LandonWard]

I currently have a Sigma Art 24mm 1.4, Nikkor 50mm 1.4, and Nikkor 105mm 2.8. For wedding and couple session stuff, that's all I need.

[BenjaminSow]

Actually love how you have the yellow shirt on for the Nikon video and red shirt on for the Canon one

Ya know, I have always been partial to the little dinky Nikon 50mm 1.8 lens. It is not the best lens, and there are better 50mm lenses, but as part of a kit, for the money and weight, it is one of the best lenses out there. I bought mine retail a few years ago for $ 100, you can get used ones on ebay for probably $ 75, it weighs less than the lens cap on some of the other lenses you list, and it is amazingly sharp for what it is. A lot of people don't shoot in the 50mm focal length range because they are either trying to get a whole scene with a wider angle lens or they are shooting people using 85, 105, 135 etc, or they are shooting sports with a longer lens. But I find that whenever I shoot a small static object, 50mm is just what I need. Most people will try to shoot such items with the same lens they use to shoot people and it gives an unwanted technical or isometric look to the photo. I've almost always had the 50mm 1.8 in my bag, and I seem to use it more than a lot of other lenses.

Hahaha 3:03 well that was unexpected! I wish I had that thermos so I could mess with unsuspecting folks around me

[grombrindle]

Awesome video, thanks for all the good content

[Orholam]

I absolutely love my 135 f/2 DC for portraits, super sharp, incredible bokeh (plus the bokeh control)

[alphonsusdeodatus]

For me, dream (but affordable) kit is D500, Sigma 18-35 and 50-100 f/1.8, and 10.5mm DX fisheye. D850 with 14-24 f/2.8, 24-70 f/2.8 VR, 70-200 GII (not E), and Sigma 60-600. Covered from 14-600 + fisheye. Add SB-910 and tripod/monopod.

You are getting better every day, thanks to you a lot!!!

14-24, 24-70, 80-400 (or 70-200 if you need 2.8) is enough in my opinion for the higher level enthusiast. it has enough range for just about anything, except for macros which you might wanna get a macro lens as well (before I get yelled at, this probably isn't enough for professionals. I am an enthusiast at the moment and this suits all my needs)
