Just a quick question for nikon photographers, what lenses are you guys / gals using? I see canon offers lenses around 87mm but nikon does not. Are those lenses that much better? Durring a sport event I see photographers with the huge grey canon lenses just wondering what nikon offers in comparison.

Nikon has two 85 mm lens one is a f/1.4 and I think the other one is a f/1.8

For just about every GREY Canon lens there is a BLACK Nikon lens that's equal to it ...

C'mon man, once you go Black, you never look back!

Is the quality that good? My best lenses is a 50mm f/ 1.8. I also enjoy my 18-135 f/3.5. I just to take pics and say wow.

Let me be clear with a 85mm filter size not focal length.

It's no feat to find what Nikkor lenses are available.

Good luck.

One thing nikon has over canon... 40+ years of lens compatibility. If you can't afford the $10000 modern 600mm f4 afs lens, then you can always opt for a $3000 manual focus 600mm f4 lens with optics that are of equal quality.

:thumbup:

Picked up a 500 f/4P last year. It is a "chipped" lens that still allows it to work in all metering & exposure modes... just manual focus.

Awesome lens... looks almost identical to my 600mm f5.6; I often wish I would have opted for the 500mm, it's a bit faster and sells for about the same $$.

Bah thats nothing!
Canon are the only ones to make a real macro lens:

the Canon MPE65mm f2.8 macro lens

to give you some idea that thing is about 2mm long at the most!

Ok to say that is probably the most rarly used of the whole canon line of lenses under several £/$1000 and that its about the hardest lens to ever learn to use (let alone use well) means that for most its really not a factor.

And there are other options for highmagnification out there for other brands - but still - Canon make it which makes canon better
