Nikon camera owners: what is your most used prime lens and zoom lens?

11 years 11 months ago #226843 by Merlin
I have the Nikkor 18-200mm, 3.5-5.6 DX, and shoot mainly landscapes, I think this lens is perfect for my prime lens, used for 90% of my work/fun, perfect for relatively close work and the telephoto length is ideal for most situations, and price I believe is excellent value for money.

My favorite prime is my Nikkor 105mm micro as I can use it for closeups and regular shots. For a zoom, I am right now loving my Sigma 10-20mm wide angle.

After missing too many shots switching lenses, and losing too many to camera movement with telephotos, I finally glued a Nikkor 18-200mm VR to my D-80, and I love it.

For me the most used zoom is my tele zoom, right now it is a AF Zoom-Nikkor 80-200mm 2.8D ED.

My most used prime has to be my AF Nikkor 50mm 1.4 in the winter and the 24mm 2.8D in the summer.

It is what it is.

These days the 24mm f/1.4 has been my favorite lens over all, with 24-70mm f/2.8 shortly behind
