[andy9110]

Hmmm Guess alot had heard abt the TRINITY.

But what is the true TRINITY?

Everyone has their own version in mind. Can nikonian kindly name which is theirs ?

As for me:

-AF 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5D IF-ED

-AF-S 28-70mm f/2.8D IF-ED

-AF-S VR 70-200mm f/2.8G IF ED

My Cheaper Version of TRINITY

-AF-S DX 12-24mm f/4 G

-AF-S VR 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED

-AF-S VR 70-200mm f/2.8G IF ED

CHEERS

Just for the fun since we'll all be labelled as equipment wankers sooner later

Just my definition of Zoom Trinity

1) AF-S 17-35 f/2.8D IF-ED
2) AF-S 28-70 f/2.8D IF-ED
3) AF-S 70-200VR f/2.8G IF-ED


Just my definition of Prime Trinity

1) AF 85 f/1.4D IF-ED
2) AF 135DC f/2D IF-ED
3) AF-S 200VR f/2G IF-ED

For the sake of cleanliness.. how about tidying up the above posts to reflect our ideal trinities heehee...





Alright now the major question... who wanna sponsor espn to his first trinity

[justarius]

My Trinity

AF 24mm f2.8D
AF 50mm f1.8
AF 105mm f2.8D Micro-Nikkor

My alternate Trinity

AF 24mm f2.8D
AF 50mm f1.8
AF 180mm f2.8

[chisiang]

My current trinity:

17-35 f/2.8
50 f/1.8
70-200 VR f/2.8

Skipped the 28-70 f/2.8 .... can't find a purpose for it (for now) the 50mm can cover pretty much what's between 35 and 70. Just need to move either closer or away from the subject

[MooEy]

it seems like trinity posts like this come up every few weeks.

Tokina 19-35mm f3.5-4.5
Nikon 50mm f1.8 D
Nikon 28-200mm f3.5-5.6 G

[Jed]

Here we go again.

How about:

28/1.4
50/1.4
85/1.4

17-35/2.8
28-70/2.8
70-200/2.8

12-24/4
17-55/2.8
70-200/2.8

200/2
300/2.8
400/2.8

[slacker123]

I find that a good measure of the "trinity" for prime lenses on a nikon digital body would be:

-14mm f/2.8 (widest angle coverage of 21mm)
-28mm f/1.4 (low light shooting, 42mm is just short of 50mm coverage)
-85mm f/1.4 (simply fantastic lens)

I know of photojournalists in iraq and afghanistan who switched to these lens combinations as the amount of dust and sand that got into the zoom mechanism of the 17-35 and 70-200 rendered the lenses difficult to use.

of course.. the prices of these prime combinations are comparable to their zoom counterparts...

[singscott]

My nikon ones are:

35mm 1.4
85mm 1.4
180mm 2.8

My Canon ones are

24mm 1.4L
85mm 1.8
200mm 1.8L
