- 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.
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.
So basically buy the most expensive lens in every category?
he did say it was the "ultimate"
Hey granny paid for them.....
Next time you're throwing some Nikon glass throw some this way :)
😂😂😂😂
Mute point for a realist, major issue for a pedant.
"moot" :P
I'm hoping that was a joke and you didn't actually throw it. there are may of us who can only dream of having nice glass like you.
It looked like a Coffee mug
I absolutely love my 135 f/2 DC for portraits, super sharp, incredible bokeh (plus the bokeh control)
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 ;)
Nice! I didn't realise they were all 77mm. That's handy! I have 85 and 50 in the 1.8G which means they're different filter sizes unfortunately.
@@darkspeed62 can you give me a short review about 50mm f1.8g, is it any better than the 1.4g version? Thanks
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.
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.
hello!! I am looking into doing event photography. I have a 35mm lens, and a 50mm (but manual focus) (and a standard lens I don't like using lol).. what would you say is a must have? I had a D3000 camera, looking into buying a D750
I agree with your choices. I have these but would suggest subbing in the Sigma Art primes for the 24, 35, 50 and now 85. And I'd also suggest going with 20mm over 24mm.
loved how you added the skid from your old video at the end, great video all together......
Actually love how you have the yellow shirt on for the Nikon video and red shirt on for the Canon one
The only one I would add would be the 135 F2 DC. I freaking love it!
I have the 105 F2 DC, and I love it as well.
Those are some aspirational lens goals right there. I am just staring out and the only full frame lens I own is a Nikon 24-105mm f/4. I have been doing research on which one would be the next one to get. I am currently a novice but with dreams of going professional eventually.
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.
Love the ending excerpt, great touch!
105 mm f1.4 and 24-70 mm f 2.8 is my kit and next it’s 14-24 mm f 2.8 all thats with ftz 2 and nikon Z6 ii! Works great !
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.
Nikon 16-35 F4 Vr is a wonderful lens. The 14-24 is sharper on the edges at 16 wide open but other than that it is the same or even more practical.
Hahaha 3:03 well that was unexpected! I wish I had that thermos so I could mess with unsuspecting folks around me
Nikon 200-400mm f4. This is my favorite lens. A little (but not much) heavier than the 300mm f2.8, but if you are shooting on a monopod with a high ISO capable camera, this is the lens that fits what I shoot for a living.
I'm updating mine. Getting a 14-24 / 2.8 have the older 28-70 / 2.8 to the the 24-70 & the 70-200 / 2.8 & the 200-500 / 4 which. I still have the old D 1.4 (28, 50, 85) the 28 is my fave old school indoor close wide
I have the "Holy Trinity" plus the older version 300mm F4. My only other lens is the 50mm 1.4. It's the lens I would keep if I could only have one lens. It's also the first lens that I recommend people buy.Very versatile...
i love how you wore a yellow shirt for this, and a red shirt for the canon video!
Awesome video - I've been researching which lenses to get for a wide spread of focal lengths and then you upload this video, much more helpful and easier that looking through a multitude of websites. No link for the canon video though?
You've come such a long way don't stop. Great work.
Yellow shirt for Nikon and red for Canon, love it! :)
The 500mm PF & the AF-S 24-120mm f4 G, those 2 are an everyday carry for me. Out of your line up I'd like to add the 70-200MM and the 14-24MM. Though I already have the Tamron 2.8 Macro I still would like to add the Nikkor 200MM macro f/4 D. I'd love to try out that 300 PF as well unsure if I need it.
Thanks Jared. I enjoyed this video, just as I like your other reviews. Every time when I am considering a new piece of glass, there are several sources I'd like to consult. Froknows is always among them. It is a relief to have your original point of view added to make up my mind. Nice line up here. I would add the 200-500mm to it. Made some stunning pictures with it of Costa Rica's wildlife. Did not expect it to be that sharp.
I too have the 200-500. It is good lens, the VR works quite well, as I have pulled off some quite sharp pics at 500mm with a shutter speeds of 1/15 sec, hand held.
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)
My ultimate FX kits includes 24-120 F4 VR, 70-200 f2.8 VR, 300 f2.8, 200-500 f5.6 VR. I have the 105 Macro VR and the 60mm Macro as well. I have a 43mm TS lens that I use for some special purpose shots I do. I have a 10mm DX fisheye that I rarely use and I am looking to sell that and get the new 8-15 Fisheye. I also have a cheap 14mm that is okay.
I got my lens line-up taken care of, the only thing I'm waiting on, is a new upgraded 200mmm micro Nikkor.
14-24mm, 24-70mm, 70-200mm, 200-500mm, 50mm f/1.2 and Otus 1.4/85mm
Could you explain what you might use each one for or what would you recommend for 1-portraits 2-ladscapes want to expand x
I'd be interested to know more about the 300mm f4 PF, or why the inclusion of both 300mm's ?
Just a size issue/practicality ?
As usual another good video. I like the throwback, you've come a long way.....🖒
You are getting better every day, thanks to you a lot!!!
I had the 35mm 1.4, 50mm 1.4, 14-24mm 2.8, 24-70 2.8 (first edtion), 70-200mm 2.8 VRii, Sigma 150mm 2.8 macro & a D800 + 3 SB-900. I traded it all in to a fullblown Fujifilm system. So now i have most of the fujifilm line up.. :) And i never has looked back.. :)
What lenses should I get?
1. One for traveling and shooting in a environment like, I plan to do a Amazon rainforest trip.
2. A vlog lense for hand held video while i'm out and about traveling?
Thanks for the info even if you dont answer, your vids are helping as I go thru them
I shoot a lot of film and love older SLRS (F-series). Right now I prefer lenses with aperture rings for maximum compatibility with both older SLRs and newer DSLRs. (Though lenses like the new 105/1.4 tempt me to break with this tradition.) With these limitations (basically AF-D series) the Nikon ultimate would include the zoom trinity:
17-35/2.8D*
28-70/2.8D*
80-200/2.8D*
And then a bunch of primes:
28/1.4D
35/2D*
50/1.4D* (Must-have for slower film)
60/2.8D-Micro*
85/1.4D
105/2DC*
135/2DC
180/2.8D*
200/4D-Micro*
300/2.8D or
300/4D* (still much smaller than the f/2.8)
The main drawbacks of these lenses are:
(1) Mainly screwdriver AF (slow)
(2) No VR
(3) Older coatings/elements
(4) Newer versions can be sharper
The advantages of these lenses are:
(1) Fully compatible with all Nikon SLRs
(2) Tougher build quality
(3) No AF-S motor to burn out (longevity)
(4) Usable with alt setups (such as bellows)
*These are ones I actually own and use regularly
Hi. Can you make a vlog about nikon D500. Witch lens at the best for it. Wildlife, portrait, all around lenses. Thanks
🤔Question: I have a Nikon D5600 with the 18-55mm and 70 - 300mm kit lenses. Should I start saving and planning for a new non-kit lens, maybe one of these you have mentioned here, or save up and get a Z series mirror-less camera as I get more into photography 🤔
The end was just huge ! 😂😂 tu regale mon gars 👍🏻
This is a monster kit. Used it to get my start but I'm not even close yet!
Which one would be best for everyday use? Portraits, nature, sports, etc?
what would be a recommendation for nikon d3500 for beginners? how many lenses do I need and which one would be great to have?
Nothing wrong with the 16mm fisheye, perfectly sharp/beautiful rendition and makes for a superb lightweight wide-angle, because it is dead easy to correct for the 16mm fisheye effect. I've show people corrected images from the Nikkor 16mm and they were positive they came from a rectilinear lens.
exactly. he's just shitting on old gear to make you buy new castrated g lenses.
The outtake at the end were 👌
I currently only own the 14-24mm(apart from all my DX lenses). It was a mistake as I feel that I should have bought the midrange 24-70mm first before anything else. But I'm thinking once I have completed the Holy Trinity maybe I'd spend the rest of my life buying only camera bodies. Oh and maybe I'd go for a 300mm f2.8 too.
I own all 3 and I never ever make any sigma trys again
haha the clip at the end! Such a young Fro
where is the canon link?
I would potentially add the Nikon 58 f/1.4G to the "ultimate primes" kit, since while it isn't the sharpest lens out there the look you get out of it is super unique. I might be a bit biased since I own it and use it a ton (even over the 85 f/1.4G a lot of the time.) And it is way better than the terrible 50 f/1.4G as well.
I'm surprised you didn't include the "cult classic" 105 F2 DC
I have a Nikon 20mm f1.8 for landscapes and the milky way and a 500mm f4e for bird/wildlife. I need a good prime portrait lens and the 70-200 and I believe I would be set. Ah throw the 24-70 lens in there too just to cover all the bases.
what would reccomend for wide or ultrawide?
i cant decide between which focal length to go for and if 3rd party or not.
Currently thinking about samyang 14mm vs irix 15mm and nikon 20mm 1.8g vs the new sigma 20mm
My Hebrew trinity trio is Z 14-24 f2.8 S, Z 24-120mm //F4S, and Z 100-400 /4.5-5.6 S
Jared, please share your thoughts on the 105 and 135 Defocus Control lenses.
What lenses is amazing for nature, landscape and portrait shots?
Is there any Adopter To convert Canon lenses to Nikon mount
Hey, I'm deciding between the 24-70 and 24-70 with VR. Which lens would you recommend?
Hey Jared , were you happy and did you think the new 24-70 VR ? or would you recommend the old version still?
The 200-500mm f5.6 fx is really sharp under the right light conditions. Very popular with wildlife guys. I would prefer a faster speed but 300mm is too short for me.
Can you please do something like this for Crop sensors/DX?
Thank you for the video
can you give examples of what type of photos you would use each lens for? I'm a tad overwhelmed with all of the lens options available
I really love my 24-120 vr lens.. For the events I cover its a great range and super sharp.
My 28-300mm VR rarely ever leaves my camera...it's just so versatile!
OK I got the 24-70 I like nature and astro photography what would you recommend I get next?
what's about your ultimate sets of lenses for nikon crop sensor camara
love the vintage fro clip 🤣
Can you please do a similar video for APS-C cameras?
I shoot architecture professionally. The 14-24 is an absolute masterpiece. Aside from my PC-E lenses, it's my most used lens by far. Razor sharp even wide open and incredibly versatile. I would recommend it to anyone, without hesitation. Only thing I disagree with, well, sort of, is the 105 macro. It's very good but unless you're very seriously into macro, the Sigma is much better value and incredibly sharp also, perhaps just losing out a tiny fraction to the Nikkor.
the 24-120 f4 is quite good for travelling... i like it a lot
How about lens recommendation for DX cropped sensor body like D7200, any recommendations?
I feel like it is about time we have a new “ultimate lens line-up” video for the mirrorless era, aince there are more Z mount lenses now ;)
What type of hood and lenses should I buy for nikon p900 I am thinking to buy this camera and what type of hood will protect the lenses.
Which camera to buy....D810 or D500 for an all-around shooter?
Mine would be just about what you have with a few exceptions. I would skip the 300 2.8 and lean towards a 600 F4. But I do wildllife photography. Also the one I have now is the Nikon 200-500. Excellent lens for a lot of different things. But of all the lenses you mention. I don't own any of them. And don't really see it happening. Next on my list is a Nikon D7200 or if I can make it happen somehow a D500. Then I will be a happy camper as the 200-500 in on my camera at least 80% of the time. I have dreams about that D500. But with my income being social security disability, not sure how it is going to happen. And no I am not jealous of your equipment. You have worked hard to get what you have. Good for you for getting what you have. Keep working hard and the others you mention will come if you want them to.
I would have to add my 200-500mm f/5.6 which gets me shots at the zoo that I just couldn't get otherwise.
well I don't have any really. But in the future I hope to get some nice glass. I recently got the Canon Rebel T5 as my first dslr and so far only have the kit lens 18-55mm and the 75-300mm
hyee jarid
i need some help
can you tell me Which sD Card Will be better for My nikon d5500
Considering coming wrist injuries my "hopefully not" ultimate lightweight Nikon journalism kit: 2 x D500 (yes I know it's a crop camera), 12-24 f/4 DX, 24mm f/1.8G, 35mm f/1.8G, 58mm f/1.4G NOCT, 85mm f/1.8G and the 300mm f/4 PF VR. The 24mm and the 58mm would propably be mounted on their respective cameras 90 percent of the time. Classic journalism/reportage setup if you ask me. Alternatively switch the D500 with the D750 and the 12-24 with a 20mm f1.8G. That would be it for me. Maybe throw in the 105 Micro Nikkor for good measure.
So if I have a D700 and if I could only get one now, which one should I get? I do a lot event shooting and some portraits.
Sir make a video on ultimate dx/crop sensor lens kit
if im shooting in the gym what lens I need brother
I'm surprised N 24-70 VR which is more expensive and worse then non VR version?
Jared, what focal length is preferable for soccer on your opinion?
Jared , wondering if you ever use filters? If so , on the 14-24. I own this lens & thinking about by a filter kit for it. If you do which 1's
Nikon af-s Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 e ed vr (Took 8 Months for it to arrive, amazing with the D850) WOW!
i have 3 of those plus my f4 24-120 is a great on the go lens.
Can these work with the Nikon d3400
what is the best lense for youtube videos ?? Like talking head videos ? I have the d7500 thanks fam !
Your opinion about Sigma, Tokina and Tamron Lenses (for canon and nikon).
The Nikon 28mm f1.4D, Nikon 58mm f1.2 AIS Noct, and the 85mm f1.4D will be my dream set. Use it on my Nikon DF. Sadly the Noct is priced way too high.
Jared, you touched very briefly on the two 105s. I have my first grandchild coming and wanted to get a nice portrait lens. I was thinking about the 105 f/2.8 thinking it would be a good dual purpose lens -- portrait and macro -- rather than having a lens that's just good for portraits. Thoughts on the 105 f/2.8 for portraits?
Do you really want to use a Lens that is super sharp for Portraits? Nikon does, or did make a couple of lenses that did a defocusing thing. Being a cheapskate, I just use a 50mm a 2X converter, it soften the Image just enough to keep women subjects from getting in a snit over their skin being less than perfect
My go-to's: 28-70 2.8 and 80-200 2.8. I love D Series lenses! Built like tanks and 1/3 the price!
Used to say that too but the d series are slow to focus... At the end of the day i had to get the 70-200 Tamron G2 for faster focusing and sold all my D series lenses
I don't have lenses like these, my only new one bought from the story and not secondhand is a 35mm, and I LOVE the frame way more than the standard lens (that is somewhere in the 100MM? I don't remember).... What do you use these lenses for?
Cant wait to see the canon version. I guess ill wait to share my canon kit on that clip.
what about canon lenses for youtube and photography and video setup lenses
what makes the canon 70-200 2.8 better? alot of reviews say they are on parr
What lens did jared throw? Wish I could have caught it still using an 18-55 kit lens
Dude... the 35 and 85 f/1.4 are my jam, truly great stuff!
If I didn't have the 85 then I would totally consider the new 105, it looks amazing.
OTOH, one can't deny the versatility and quality of the trinity, it's the true pro workhorse stuff and just great advice from you, once again! :-)
What lens do you recommend for landscapes? I have a D5500.
hey... Dexter is there any multifunctional lense for my Nikon D5500... with which I can do portrait, macro, landscape and wildlife photography....
