AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G ED Prime Lens for Select Nikon DSLR Cameras - Black

I absolutely love this lens. It has not left my camera.

Very pleased with this lens. I had the 1.4G for a week and returned it for this one. At one third the cost, this lens is an tremendous value. Bokeh is wonderful and is extremely sharp wide open. Caution; large aperture lenses do not produce the same results on DX sensor bodies as they do on FX bodies. If you are shooting and of the FX bodies I would recommend this and all the 1.8G lenses. They are all 97% as good as the 1.4's. When I returned the 35mm 1.4G ($1,700) I bought the the 35mm 1.8G(FX), 60mm 2.8 micro and the 85mm 1.8G for the same $$. I am a happy camper!

An essential prime for any photographer. Sharp wide open, with only a slight increased sharpness in the corners stopped down. Great in low light. Put this lens in your kit!!

Very sharp, if you need detail in your photos, this lens is noticeably sharper than my 24-70 2.8 nikkor.

At close to $600 USD, it's not necessarily cheap like the 50mm f/1.8G ($220), but it is within reach. In my opinion, the MSRP would have been more reasonable at $499 instead of $599, just like the 85mm f/1.8G lens. That aside, it works as advertised and delivers good images, even in low light. If you like Nikon prime lenses, this is easily one of the best ones available now that won't break the bank.
