Hi Nasim, Let me start with the equipment I have, Is a Nikon D7000, and I have lenses the 24-70mm f/2.8 and the 70-200mm f/2.8, after using these 2 lenses I have found on the web, that there are some lenses with great bokeh, and the best bokeh, What I like to ask is in your experience, what the Nikon best bokeh lenses, or what is the differences between the following lenses

Hi Nasim,

I have a Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 DX VR using in D80. I know the bokeh is bad and want to buy another zoom lens used in travelling for taking people and landscape . Can you recommend a zoom lens that have the good bokeh ? Is 17-55mm suitable for me ? I know this lens is a DX lens. I may change to a new camera body in the near future. Can this lens also used in a FX camera ?

Many thanks,
Joan

Hey Nasim Mansurov,
An amazing post you have here !
I wanted to buy a lens mainly for portraits,weddings and , macro to some extent. (i already own a 18-105mm Nikkor)
I want an amazing bokeh quality for the portraits. Out of the Nikkor 50mm f1.4G and the Nikkor 105mm f2.8 micro, which one do you recommend ?
Your opinion would be greatly helpful.

Regards

Hi Nasim,
I currently have a NIkon D90 with a 18-55mm 3.5-4.5 lens. I would like to shoot indoor sports, low lighting in rooms, I like to play with bokeh. I’ve been thinking of the Nikon 50mm 1.8 D or the new G; or the 70-200mm variable aperture zoom; or the Nikon 85mm 1.8 D. What would you recommend?
Thanks for your great website,
T

Fahim, do next expect the Nikon 18-55mm to yield beautiful bokeh, it is not a lens for that kind of photography…you need a fast aperture lens or a telephoto lens to produce good bokeh.

Luke, if I get a hold of this lens, I will certainly include some bokeh shots from it. Since the Nikon 18-55mm is a slow aperture lens, the results would be very similar to what the Nikon 18-200mm produced in the above example though, if not worse…
