- 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?
he did say it was the "ultimate"
Hey granny paid for them.....
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.
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 absolutely love my 135 f/2 DC for portraits, super sharp, incredible bokeh (plus the bokeh control)
You've come such a long way don't stop. Great work.
loved how you added the skid from your old video at the end, great video all together......
Love the ending excerpt, great touch!
As usual another good video. I like the throwback, you've come a long way.....🖒
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
You are getting better every day, thanks to you a lot!!!
Yellow shirt for Nikon and red for Canon, love it! :)
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.
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
Actually love how you have the yellow shirt on for the Nikon video and red shirt on for the Canon one
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 !
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...
The end was just huge ! 😂😂 tu regale mon gars 👍🏻
i love how you wore a yellow shirt for this, and a red shirt for the canon video!
Hahaha 3:03 well that was unexpected! I wish I had that thermos so I could mess with unsuspecting folks around me
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.
Awesome video, thanks for all the good content
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.
where is the canon link?
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?
The outtake at the end were 👌
Interesting. Thanks for the video and info.
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 ?
Hey, I'm deciding between the 24-70 and 24-70 with VR. Which lens would you recommend?
🤔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 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.
This is a monster kit. Used it to get my start but I'm not even close yet!
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
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
Thank you for the video
haha the clip at the end! Such a young Fro
Hey Jared , were you happy and did you think the new 24-70 VR ? or would you recommend the old version still?
LOL old school Fro. the footage looks dam near black and white. You have come a long way Bro. Keep up the good work.
What lenses is amazing for nature, landscape and portrait shots?
Which one would be best for everyday use? Portraits, nature, sports, etc?
hyee jarid
i need some help
can you tell me Which sD Card Will be better for My nikon d5500
the 24-120 f4 is quite good for travelling... i like it a lot
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.
Is there any Adopter To convert Canon lenses to Nikon mount
hey Fro like the video awesome!!!!!
i notice you changed t-shirt when u changed brand, canon red, nikon yellow, thanks for all the videos!!!
Can these work with the Nikon d3400
Jared, please share your thoughts on the 105 and 135 Defocus Control lenses.
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
what would be a recommendation for nikon d3500 for beginners? how many lenses do I need and which one would be great to have?
from italy! you are big! my compliments!
Thank you for making this video
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.
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.
Such a good range of lenses....if you like Nikon.
Cant wait to see the canon version. I guess ill wait to share my canon kit on that clip.
Can you please do something like this for Crop sensors/DX?
Your opinion about Sigma, Tokina and Tamron Lenses (for canon and nikon).
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
How about lens recommendation for DX cropped sensor body like D7200, any recommendations?
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.. :)
I recently purchased a Nikon D3400 it came with it normal lens im a beginner but i do take good pics but i need a better lens for taking pics of people in the out door setting which lens would be the best one please help
Very nice Jared! Thanks!
OK I got the 24-70 I like nature and astro photography what would you recommend I get next?
Which camera to buy....D810 or D500 for an all-around shooter?
Hi. Can you make a vlog about nikon D500. Witch lens at the best for it. Wildlife, portrait, all around lenses. Thanks
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
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.
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.
Can you please do a similar video for APS-C cameras?
love the vintage fro clip 🤣
if im shooting in the gym what lens I need brother
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's about your ultimate sets of lenses for nikon crop sensor camara
K. Doing some close up portrait work. 20mm 1.8 or your 14-24? or the 24mm 1.4? Which is sharper? I will rarely use it for landscape. I'm okay with dropping some pesos on a prime lens exclusively, though is there really a zoom lens that can match the clarity of the 20 1.8 or 24 1.4? On that note...which of these two would you say is better performing on a D750? Thanks in advance for replying...I'm going to check out the 20mm 1.8 next week. Totally torn though. Appreciate the feedback.
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
I'm surprised N 24-70 VR which is more expensive and worse then non VR version?
i have 3 of those plus my f4 24-120 is a great on the go lens.
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!
Sir make a video on ultimate dx/crop sensor lens kit
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
hey... Dexter is there any multifunctional lense for my Nikon D5500... with which I can do portrait, macro, landscape and wildlife photography....
200mm f/2 My favourite lens I own
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
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.
Hello Jared! I'm confused about which Nikon 24-70mm it is there's like 3 different ones I don't want to buy the wrong one. Which one is it? Thank you!
What lens would be good for the Nikon d3400
What do you personally use the 300 F4 for Jared ?
Jared, what focal length is preferable for soccer on your opinion?
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)
hello. thanks for your videos! in the nikon D3300 intro video, you mentioned we should get the 35mm 1.8. what is that lens good for?
Street photos. Many things. Even portraits with a different feel to them.
what makes the canon 70-200 2.8 better? alot of reviews say they are on parr
Are these lenses compatible for all Nikon DSLRs?
what about canon lenses for youtube and photography and video setup lenses
Hello, I own a Nikon D7000 with 18-55mm & 35mm lenses. I'm looking into getting another lens and I'm wondering what lense you would recommend me? I mostly do automotive photography and I find myself mostly shooting around 18mm. Thanks.
