Q: Questionwhat is the maximum optical zoom it can give and whether it will fit with D-5000 DSLR

Asked 15 years ago by ANAND.

• A:Answer It has no zoom, it's a prime lens, meaning it's only at 35mm. On a Nikon DX camera it's right around 52mm, which means what you see with your eye will look the same distance as what you see through the lens. You will need to move closer to / further away from your subject to change the view. It will work fine with a D-5000. It's a great lens!

Asked 15 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer The question you really want to ask is, will this lens autofocus on a D3100. Yes, it is a AF-S lens with a built-in motor. It will autofocus on cameras without motors, such as the D3100.

Q: QuestionIs this Prime Lens better or the Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.8D. Which one?Is this Prime Lens better or the Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.8D. Which one? I have a D7000 with 18-200mm VRII lens. Its a great lens but I am missing the regular fast prime for the indoor and night outdoor landscapes. I am confused on choosing the DX lens 35mm f/1.8 or the FX lens 50mm f/1.8D. The autofocus would work on both as D7000 does have the in built AF motor. Please suggest.

Asked 15 years ago by Saint.

• A:Answer I have the D7000 with the 50mm f/1.8 and a variety of other lenses. Most of my shooting is outdoors, but when I go inside the 50mm goes on. It is an amazing lens, but there are times in small rooms where I would like to have the wider 35mm. It depends on how you shoot. I looked at my EXIF information on several photos to see which range I use most often before I made my purchase, and I would recommend you do the same. The bokeh on the 50mm is beautiful, but the 35mm can be less than flattering with certain background lighting. Do a little more research on the web before buying either.

Q: QuestionIS THIS LENS AN AUTO FOCUS LENS??? I HAVE A 50MM 1.8 LENS NOW, AND IT IS NOT AUTO FOCUS.....I DEF. WANT AN AUTO FOCUS LENS!

Asked 14 years ago by MINDY.

• A:Answer Yes, and you're not clear with your question either: you may have an autofocus lens already, but one which only autofocuses on the more expensive cameras (an AF or AF-D lens), this is an AF-S G series lens which will autofocus on many, but not all autofocus film cameras, and will focus just fine on all digital.

Q: QuestionWill this lens work for pictures of the night sky?

Asked 9 years ago by Grumpyd.

• A:Answer Aside from having a lens, like the 35mm f/1.8 with it's wide open aperture, you would need to make sure the DSLR you are using has excellent high ISO capability. So, to answer your direct question, yes, given the lens' ability to open up to an aperture of f/1.8, this lens is an excellent for pictures of the night sky. Taking it one step further, in addition to this lens, it would be ideal that your Nikon DSLR has a Long Exposure Noise Reduction Mode. With pictures of the night sky, you will keep you shutter open for more than a single second, in some instances. Setting the camera to Long Exposure Noise Reduction Mode, reduces the inherent noise that could be present when leaving the shutter open for extended periods to record longer time exposures, such as Night Sky.

Q: QuestionSo I have a DX (16x24mm) Sensor on my Nikon D3400, will this 35mm lens be the equivalent to a 52mm lens when I am shooting? Or does it shoot 35mm because this is a DX lens so theres no need to multiply by the 1.5x crop factor?

Asked 7 years ago by JJ.

• A:Answer Yes, even though it’s a DX lens on a DX body there will still be a crop factor. So a 35mm will roughly be 50mm, a 50mm roughly 80 and so forth. If you want a “true” 35mm you’d need to get a 24mm lens (for a DX or a 35mm on FX).

Q: QuestionIs this a good lens for everyday use and taking on vacation?

Asked 9 years ago by grunt.

• A:Answer It's great for portraits, and for landscape shots. If you are planning to shoot wildlife, it will work, but it doesn't give you the versatility that a zoom lens would.
