I have put together a table of lenses I have used recently and rated them for performance on DSLR bodies, the D2X and D200 mostly but there has been a bit of D70 in there lately. I have based my rating on the following-
- Sharpness
- Color
- Speed
- Tonal Range
It is purely subjective and of no scientific value it is only my opinion. I will update it as I use other lenses.
70-200 AFS VR f2.8- 9
60mm Micro Nikkor- 8
12-24mm DX- 7
28-70 AFS f2.8- 9
17-55 DX f2.8- 6
