Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great beginner landscape and low light lens for crops sensor cameras. F 1.8 makes it very fast.

I had this lens three years ago but sold it for the reason I had a 50/F1.8 lens, thought I didn't need this. But since the day I sold it, I started missing it. For my usage, 35/F1.8 is more versatile and it's at the sweet spot of price and performance. Picture is crispy sharp, color is vibrant, can't say enough of it. But I still with Nikon can roll out a 24/F1.4 for DX format and with a price not much higher than this one, which if kind of impossible though...

I bought this lens to use with a Nikon DSLR that a family member gave me. It was such a good choice. The low aperture really helps capture awesome pics. A lens like this is a must-have for photographers.

is great, good quality, easy to manage and it, my wife used it a lot, more that the other lenses.

Easy to use for beginners. Ideal for portraits that want blurred backgrounds.

I purchased this lens because my first lens, AF-S VR 70-300/4.5-5.6G IF-ED, was zoomed in too far for closer subjects. So my 35mm did a great job photographing the Oak Hills High School Band from close range.

Had previously purchased this lens but ended up returning it as I got buyers remorse. BIG mistake, this lens is awesome purchase it on sale and I love taking picks of my baby girl.Plenty of light comes into the lens that I can turn off the flash so it doesn’t hurt her little eyes. It does get some getting used to it being a prime but I’m working through it. The pics I’ve been taken are amazing thins lens isn’t getting returned.

This lens works great on my dated D90 (since upgraded). Good clarity even in low light.

I was exactly as how I expected. Works really well. Is not heavy, quite small. Pictures are excellent with this lens.

Great lense and great service quick shipping and flawless from order to receive

This is an awesome lens for your third or fourth addition. I use it to create close in shots that tell a story and show an intimacy with the subjects. It is a little slow to focus and with the smaller COMOS chip common to DSLR's it is closer to a 50mm than a 35mm lens. the focal length is reflexive enough to allow incredible depth of field control. I enjoy playing with this feature the most. The F 1.8 also allows in an incredible amount of light, allowing for less flash an more natural lighting.

This is a great prime lens! I have not used it that much yet but what little I have; I really like the results!

The size, weight, and quality of this fast (f1.8) lens makes it a must have for general and low light use.

First lens I purchased after only using the ones that came with the camera and I love it. You can use it for landscapes to portraits to night photography. A very fun lens to use that will challenge you to find the right angle or the distance you want since there is no zoom feature like the kit lens. Overall I think this is a great lens to purchase. You will become a better photographer and your pictures will be amazing

Excellent lens for low light photography and good for portrait photography

I would highly recommended a 35mm or a 50mm prime lens. This is great for low light and Bokah.

Nice addition of this prime lens for my D5100. Bokeh is comparable to the 50mm prime. A great lens at a bargain price.

This lens is truly one of the best purchases I've ever made. I use it every single day, and it works for so many kinds of photography. It is perfect for portraits, but also landscapes and scenery. I love this lens so much and don't think I could find a better "everyday" lens if I tried. If you're considering this lens, go ahead and get it, you will NOT be disappointed.

The low f-stop feature of this lens makes it a great tool for low-light photography and is excellent portraits.

This is an awesome little lens. It would very well in low light and produces very sharp images.
