Best Wide-angle Prime Lenses for Nikon D5

From the list, you can see the Sigma 20mm F1.4 and AF-S Nikkor 24mm F1.8G ED are the best lenses for Nikon D5. You can also choose the Zeiss Distagon T* 25mm F2 and 28mm F2, but they are more expensive than the sigma and Nikon.

Best Standard Prime Lenses for Nikon D5

Without doubt, the Carl Zeiss Distagon T* Otus 1.4/55 is the best standard prime lens for Nikon D5, only if you are rich enough.  Zeiss’s new Milvus range continues to offer first-class performance, but they are manual-focus only. Of cource, you can buy Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG art, Tamron SP 45mm F1.8 at an affordable price.

Best telephoto Prime Lenses for Nikon D5

85mm Portrait lenses offer a short- to mid-telephoto focal length.  With the total score of 43 points, Carl Zeiss Apo Planar T* Otus 85mm f/1.4 is the best telephoto lens for Nikon D5. If you do not have so much money, you can choose Nikon 85mm F1.8G and F1.4G. It is strange why DxOMark doesn’t test the new announced Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens (Amazon/ B&H/ Adorama/ eBay).
