Đánh giá nikon d600 lens 24-85 năm 2024

I may have the chance to upgrade to full frame soon, something which I've wanted to do for ages for the shallow depth of field and the subject isolation abilities. I find APS-C is too similar to M4/3 and in that case I would prefer M4/3, but full frame is capable of a totally different look.

But if I get the D600, I can get it with the 24-85 and the 50mm f1.8g or I could get the body alone, get a new Tamron 28-75 f2.8 and then get a second hand 50mm f1.4 for around the same money. I figure the kit lens wouldn't give me much different to the D90+17-50mm f2.8 that I have now, so it makes sense to get a faster lens, but I don't know if the old Tamron has the resolving power to make use of the demanding D600 sensor, and imagine that if that kit lens is being paired with that camera then it indicates that the 24-85 is sharper. I'm not worried too much about the difference in field of view because I will probably get a second hand 24 f2.8 and 85 f1.8 in the future, but don't want to fork out for a full frame camera if the look I get is the same as what I have now, or if the lens I have doesn't make use of the sensor (and I definitely don't have the money for a Nikon f2.8 zoom, except for an old 80-200 which go quite cheap second hand around here.)

If anyone has experience with these lenses, especially in respect to the modern full frame cameras, I would love to hear from you. Thanks.

Re: Tamron 28-75 or Nikon 24-85 for D600?

I have only used the 28-75mm on my D800 - and it works great. I would certainly get it before the 24-85mm which does not focus as close, nor is as bright.

Oh, and the 28-75mm is much better than the 17-50mm - mine is sharp in the center at both ends wide open.

Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into your answer. I like the picture, and in the field the lens looks very fine. The D800 is even more demanding than the D600, so it's good to see how it performs. Thanks again, I really appreciate your input.

Re: Tamron 28-75 or Nikon 24-85 for D600?

dxomark has these lenses in a dead heat for sharpness and resolution on the D600, and that sounds about right to me. The 28-75 shows plenty of vignetting on a FF camera, so don't count on using it wide open. Either lens will get you a 60%+ increase in resolution on a D600 over a D90 and 17-50 f2.8.

Great, thanks Jim. Do you think the vignetting would be taken care of in out of camera jpegs, or can be fixed in raw conversion?

Good question...

I've only used my 28-75 for 35mm - where I always stopped down at least to f4 - and for DX.

Re: Tamron 28-75 or Nikon 24-85 for D600?

Why would vignetting prevent you from shooting wide open with it?

BTW: 75mm, f/2.8

Hi vagtanklan

Thanks for sharing your pics from 28-75 with D800.

I have this lens for a long time and can't get it to work for me.

Now that I've got the D800 (after D300) I'm trying it again.

How do you PP your pictures?

I can't get those crisp colors out of Tamron

Another question is - does your lens work in LV mode?

Mine keeps hunting and the AF is not working in LV, but works in the viewfinder.

Thank you!

Re: Tamron 28-75 or Nikon 24-85 for D600?

I have the older Tamron 28-75 without BIM & have no issues with vignetting. It is an awesome lens very happy with it...

Sorry for the late reply - not that active these days due to work work work!

LV works, but I never use it - AF performance with LV on the D800 is poor even with the best of lenses. Let's leave it at that.

I don't do much PP, mostly I do som curve adjustments for that extra "pop" (slight s-shape), and make sure the WB sits right.

Oh, I of course use CNX2 for RAW -> jpeg.

Getting nice colors is more about the light, scene etc. etc. than the lens itself. Go out one evening and shoot with, or against the low hanging fruit that is the afternoon sun.

Profit!

Re: Tamron 28-75 or Nikon 24-85 for D600?

I know this is an old thread that I just happened upon. I also know that my reply may be laughed at by some, because it goes against conventional wisdom...but here goes anyway.

I know the trend is to buy ONLY fast glass, so you can use it indoors and in low light, but can still stop it down and use it outdoors in bright light also........However, I personally buck that trend...I have lenses I use for low light situations, and I have other lenses that I use for outdoor bright light stuff.

In this case they are both reasonably cheap lenses.....and I have both. (I don't have a D600, but I think the concept remains the same on my D700) I consider the 24-85 f/3.5-4.5 (I have the non-VR version) to be my outdoor walk around lens, and the Tamron 28-75 to be my indoor event lens.

Here's my reasoning. 1.) Obviously being a constant f/2.8 lens the Tamron is better for indoor stuff, and when stopped down to f/4 is about as sharp as it gets....whereas at the longer focal lengths I'd need to stop the 24-85 down to f/5.6 or even f/8 (depending on focal length shooting at) to get similar sharpness as f/4 on the Tamron. That can mean the difference between shooting at ISO 1600 vs 3200 or even 6400.

2.) For me personally, the 24-28mm range on an FX camera is not natural for people shots. Even if you correct the distortion in post processing.....when photographing a large group of people the people on the outer edge just don't look the same.....also many flashes struggle to zoom wide enough to give you full coverage at 24mm so you can get uneven lighting....whereas for most indoor event type photography I find 28mm to be wide enough for nearly everything. (YMMV)

(I know the obvious question is....then why do you need the Nikon 24-85 then?)

3.) On the other hand, 24mm is terrific for landscape shots...so if I'm walking around outdoors at say....the Grand Canyon I'd want to be able to take a shot at 24mm rather than 28mm.

4.) Nearly every lens, is sharper when stopped down 1-2 stops. (These lenses are no exception) and diffraction starts setting in about 4 stops down limiting your sharpness on the other end. (These lenses are no exception here either)

So, when I'm outdoors in bright sunlight and would like to take a shot without having to use an ND filter I occasionally have to stop down to f/8....

If I'm shooting on the long end....my 24-85 will be at it's sharpest at f/8 (because it's max aperture at that point is f/4.5)....... but the Tamron being an f/2.8 lens will be at it's sharpest at f/5.6 and will already be affected by diffraction at f/8.
