I'm new at photo. Can this lens be used in daylight shooting, to get wide angle shots?

This lens is equivalent to Nikon's 55mm f 1.8 lens. It is considered a "Normal" lens meaning it 'sees' like the human eye. While it can used in daylight and low light it is NOT a wide angle lens. If wide angle is what you are interested in use the 10 mm N series Nikkor lens or one of the zoom lenses such as the 10 mm to 30 mm zoom or the 10 mm to 100 mm zoom, which is my preference.

This isn't a wide angle lens. If you want to take daylight shots at a wide angle, your best bet is the kit lens (the 10-30mm) all the way bumped out, or looking for a lens with a focal length of less than 10mm (as printed on the Nikon 1 lens). I've read that the kit lens is very good for outdoor, daylight photography like this (however I'm no expert)This lens is "fast" (f/1.8) compared to other Nikon 1 lenses, and is useful for taking photos in lower light conditions, and situations where you want a blurred background (subject oriented shots, like portraits).

Yes, I have used this lens for all of those purposes and it performs well. Although you might want the faster f2.8 lens if the indoor performances don't have adequate lighting. I have not regretted buying this lens at all.

you would want to use it manual regardless... one of my favorite wide-angle lenses... shoots great at night to (low light)

For landscape and weddings you generally want a wider angle lens than this especially if you're shooting indoors. For kids and pets in an outdoor setting as well as portraits, this lens will work well.

It will work but for it to be sharp on that lens you would have to be shooting around f9.... pretty useless in anything but full sunlight.

No it is not a wide angle lens. Wide angle is usually wider than 18 mm (or 27mm in full frame).

This lens is perfect for outdoor but for low light indoor will not be good. I bought me a 70-200 f2.8 lens that will work with the right settings.

No. This lens is manual focus and made for long distance shots. It is also pretty heavy. I would try a Tamron 50-200mm

This is not a wide angle lens. It is very close to natural view. If you are looking for wide angle look towards 20mm or wider.

I wouldn't see why not. The wide angle does what it says, it just gives a little more of an angle in all directions allowing you to capture a larger field of view. Make no mistake, it's not a significant larger field of view, but it is nice. This equipment is solid quality stuff. Get it, you can't go wrong.

If you are going to shoot where there will be plenty of light, then yes this lens will be okay. Here I hope these videos helps you, since I am still experimenting with this lens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap0NQfWuKKEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5wZAvUmPUA

No, you would have to look else for wide lens. This one is perfect but more for portrait, details and lifestyle.

Hi Jackson, i have found this lens performed well for a wide angle of view 11mm while shooting video. It was especially useful for shooting a stage production from up close. I used the lens with a Lumix GX1 camera with good results for the price. If you didn't need the wide angle then i would recommend the Lumix F1.4 25mm lens which gives better results and has low light(indoors) capabilities

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.

I have the same camera as you and purchased this very lens. The lenses will work with no problem an performs like a champ. It will work along with your camera to capture pictures with great clarity and depth. Whether it is a wide or tight shot you will be pleased with the results provided you have some know how. It is perfect for outdoor/wildlife shots or the private detective that wants to get a great shot without disturbing the target. I bought mine for around 200 dollars and it was worth the buy.

Yes, it can be used in daylight if you leave the lens Cover on. It has a tiny hole in the middle to let in a tiny amount of light. Only use it during daylight with the cover on otherwise you will cause permanent damage to the intensifier tube.

It depends what you're planning to use it for. If you're thinking wildlife in the daylight then this lens is fantastic handheld.
