What is the best multi purpose lens for the D4S?

Sounds like you are after a good "walking around lens". For me the best one is the 24 - 120 F4.0. It is generally wide enough and has just enough reach to get 90% of the shots. It is my lens for about 80% of my shots. After this one, I would go with the 24-70 F2.8.

Nikon Inc. AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED this lens is spendy but you will not need any others it covers just about anything you need the others are great but this has distance as well as close it is wide angle and has nice light. it is spendy but does the trick in lots of different ways. I have 5 lense this is always what I use.

Seems like if you actually have to ask this question, you have no business owning a D4S...

Not a very easy question to answer. My go-to lens is the Nikon 24-70 2.8 lens.

24-70mm f/2.8 Nikkor, 28-300mm VR F3.5-5.6 Nikkor, 70-200mm VRII F/2.8, perhaps the 24-24mm F/2.8 if you're after a bit wider.

in a micro four thirds is very good for portrait, i also like it for some landscapes. is not very fast focusing for sports or moving subjects.

Sigma dp2 Merrill provides you the best possible detail and resolution, it's not a wide angle lens, but still it's a very good camera for landscapes because from al dp merrill series it provides the best possible detail from the center of the image to it's corners. I guess it's 45mm (35mm equivalent). Nikon 3300 may be a good choice too, you can compare reviews and some photos made with both cameras at ephotozine web site, they shoot the same landscapes with different cameras if it can be from help for you. Good Luck!

the AF-S nikkor 35mm 1.8 is a prime (one focal length) that produces wonderful results for your DX camera. It is a must have and won't break the bank at around 200$. It's great for just about anything granted you have room to move.

This is a fantastic lens, I love it and have it on one of my cameras all the time. But it is not the best for landscape photography, especially on an APS-C camera like the 60D. As Archman below said, I'd look for something with a wide angle in the 10-18mm range. Also concur--rent a couple of lenses if you can locally to see what you like best. Of course, you might pick something that was more than you planned to spend.... Good luck and have fun!

Like any tool, it depends on what you want to use it for. This is probably the best lens out there for wide angle, night sky photography (although the 35mm 1.4 is very good too), and will be good for a wide variety of applications. Either one will do well in low light, but since I usually take photos of people, I have a preference for the 35mm. Either lens, when used in bright light, loses a lot of their advantages unless you intentionally place your camera in aperture priority mode and keep shooting in wide apertures.

This lens is most useful for shooting stationery distant objects. camera stand is also required. I think you should be looking for 70-300mm vr tameron or nikon lens

I'm currently using this lens with Nikon D5200, just get the nikon mount and you're sorted. Very sharp results if you do your part :)

I would not recommend. Its a portrait lens with a focal length designed for FX. The D7100 is DX, which makes the effective focal length over 200mm - too long in my opinion.

The D7000 can auto focus both the AF-S and the older AF-D lenses. If you want to save money, get the 50 1.8 AF-D, better yet a used one to save even more money. But the 50 1.8 AF-S has better bokeh and slightly bettter image quality, so if you want the absolute best image quality, get the AF-S version. I have the AF-D and am very happy with it.

They're right sir. It is SUCH a superb lens (for the D7000 and D7100) I sold it and now regret it. I'll repurchase it soon. I can't even begin to tell you the "wow" photos I've taken with it. Make sure to get the B+W UV lens filter to protect it. Great for indoor and outdoor use too.

The zs30 has a great lens that will give you a the best quality image. Equal to a good dslr. The primary drawback is that it is very fragile.

I borrowed this lens from BorrowLenses and it worked flawlessly. Keep in mind that since the D7000 is a DX crop camera, the lens is effectively a 36-105mm lens in FX format.

No lens question can be answered accurately without knowing the intended subjects and lighting conditions. But if one needs a mid zoom on a D7000 and do not need wide angle, the 24-70 is the best of the lot. It is not wide on a crop sensor so you will need a wider lens for interior architecture, landscape, street etc. If your main subject is portraiture, general walking around, product, environmental lifestyle portraits, short telephoto etc, it is very good lens. I prefer it on the D7000 to my 17-55 2.8 which is DX only.. I use my 24-70 daily on a D800 and D7000 with excellent pro results for group portraiture, events, glamour etc. If you have plans on adding full frame to your collection, this lens can serve both the short telephoto and normal mid zoom functions on the DX or FX respectively. On FX it has a field of view that makes it a good architecture and landscape lens. If your primary purpose is portraiture, consider the 85 1.8G as an excellent lens for 1/4th the price however.

No ideas, I do not know their size. It fits for d3s+70-200 & d800e + 70-200. I do not try other lens. However, I don't think it is useful.

I use a d3200. I think it should be comparable to d7100. I can use f4 and still get good focus depth. A nice thing with this lens is that it is about as sharp for all apertures. Many lenses drop in sharpness at wide apertures (even just under f8), but not so with this one. I wonderful lens, fantastic for portraits of those that behave more naturally when one keeps some distance (like my kids, and birds). I have not felt the need for VR.

I use my 300MM f4 for bird photography and I usually have it coupled with the 1.4 teleconverter. The great thing about this setup is that I can shoot it hand-held and it's not too heavy to carry around. I have a D600 body and I typically shoot at 800+ ISO with fast shutter speeds (&gt;=1/2000). I get great sharpness without a tripod or VR. This lens is great - super-sharp, quick AF, and light enough to carry around all the time. I recommend it - get the 1.4TC too.
