The Best Lens Nikon Made in the Past 10 Years

As a journalist who's been reviewing Nikon cameras and gear for nearly 20 years (even before starting the Phoblographer) I've found myself thinking back fondly on a few pieces of gear that really stood out. One of those is a lens that Nikon made back in 2016 and that never failed to deliver a bad picture. Crazy enough, it's a lens that was so beautiful that I didn't even care about a lack of character in it. Everything about that lens just looked mesmerizing in a way that my images felt like they were looking back at me with a twinkle in their eyes.
