APS-C holy trinity set of lenses?

4 years 11 months ago #644896 by Chase Audate
As I'm reading up more on Nikon cameras and lenses, I found reference to something called 'Nikon holy trinity'.  Which consist of 3 Nikon lenses: 14-24mm, 24-70mm and 70-200mm.  But these lenses as I  can see are for full frame cameras.   Is there a version of this for APS-C Nikon cameras?

No, Chase.

But that doesn't mean they won't work, these lenses
will only have a different AoV on your camera. I have
them since day one and they deserve their title!

A few more words:

Almost all F-mount lenses work on almost all F-mount bodies. Only the (much) older Ai type lenses and earlier are problematic.

All modern AF-S lenses will work on any modern Nikon body. If you have any idea that you might grow into a full frame body, you should only acquire FX lenses.

You can pick yourself up the 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 lens and have the same focal range

Yes, the same range but the quality will
not be equivalent… by far.

Plus the 18-200 lens is a lot slower.

When you say slower, are you talking about f/stops or autofocus?

Aperture, especially at the longer focal lengths
