:) Trying to come up with a database of Lens Aliases...

For example:

AFS 28-70mm f/2.8 = The Beast
AF 85mm f/1.4 = The Bokeh King; The magic lens; The cream machine...
AFS 200mm VR f/2.0 = The Speed Demon
MF 45mm P = The Pancake Lens
AFS 18-200 VR = The Creeper
AFS 17-55 DX f/2.8 = The Smurf (unofficial) :D

:Grin: I'm running out People... Care to add...

Hey Earl,

I call the 28mm f/1.4 the Light Magnet.

regards.

Di ba pwede sa 17-55DX 2.8: The Digital Beast instead of Smurf? Ba't Smurf Earl? :)
The 17-55 is such a heavy lens!

AF 85mm f/1.4 = The Bokeh King

The name sounds so funny... any relations to Bakeh Kang? Heheheeh

AF 85mm f/1.8 D = The Bokeh Prince! :D
AF-S 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 DX = The King of the kits :D:D

Peace!

Ewan ko TJ what got into me naming the 17-55 that. :Grin: Maybe because it's a cuter brother of the 28-70... hahahah...:) But the name "The DX Beast" also sounds cool!

My 50mm f/1.8d is
My Nifty Fifty

Cream king? :D sounds like a doughnut or something haha

My 50mm f/1.8d is
My Nifty Fifty

Another winner for me!

Hey this is cool! Somewhat gives me ideas as to what lenses to get in the future. But they're probably the expensive ones. The "Smurf" made me laugh a lot! Hahaha! :D Nice one Earl! :)

We often call wideangle lenses as storytelling lenses because of the wide perspective they capture, thus, I solemnly baptize my Nikon 12-24mm f/4 to be named as "The Storyteller". :)

if the 85mm 1.8 is the Bokeh Prince
and the 85mm 1.4 is the Bokeh King
who is the 85mm 1.2 L??? :D

if the 85mm 1.8 is the Bokeh Prince
and the 85mm 1.4 is the Bokeh King
who is the 85mm 1.2 L??? :D

I'll be giving it a wild guess Dexter... How about...

85mm f/1.2L = "The Bokeh Concubine"... :D hahahaha

if the 85mm 1.8 is the Bokeh Prince
and the 85mm 1.4 is the Bokeh King
who is the 85mm 1.2 L??? :D

Lord of the Bokeh? Bokeh god? :)

I just saw a canon list,
They call the 70-200 f2.8L ISM USM MilkBottle haha
and the 18-55 kit is called the dog toy :)

Lord of the Bokeh? Bokeh god? :)

:D hehehehe... It doesn't deserve that much "Name-fame" Marton... Personally, I've shot the lens with a friend's 1DSMKII... The thing hunts in focus at low light... It's a very slow lens as opposed to it's quick aperture...

I will name my 17-55 f2.8 as the "Digital Beast" or "Blade 55"
My 80-200 f2.8 will be named "Blade 200"
Blade 60, Blade 24, etc, etc.

Now, they have a personalized name. Blade for sharpness as what Carlo more or less called them, and at the same time, as a tribute to my profession...

... Additional... :)

105 DC = "The Cream Whipper"
105 Micro Nikkor VR = "Butter Cutter"

rayxar 50mm f.75 = "time machine"

rayxar 50mm f.75 = "time machine"

You have got to be kidding me!

You have got to be kidding me!

Correct me if I'm wrong here Carlo... :) From what I've heard it's the F-mount conversion which is expensive and not the lens itself...

Nikkor 18-55mm Kit : The Underdog

I call all my lenses Mahal.. as in mahal silang lahat! Bwahahahaha.. ahem. :)

actually they are a bit expensive bec the oudelfts rayxars are very very hard to come by. they used to be pretty common before but all the hippies hoarded em. the conversion is affordable but very time consuming and difficult. luckily i dint have to go through all that trouble coz a certain nature photograper in norway was gracious enough to part with it:)
