    This lens is my daily use! Best for beginning portraits shots to get that shallow depth of field. I make sure I bring this lens with me to every shoot! Best investment I’ve done.

    Purchased this for my wife who does portrait style photography and brand photography. She loves the blurring of the background and this works great with her Nikon's autofocus

    I love this lens! As a beginner in photography, this is a great value for a High Aperture lens. It's got a pretty quick Autofocus, havn't seen any issues with soft edges. For the price, you can't go wrong!

    This lens is awesome! Nice bokeh and sharp images. Recommended 100%. Sometimes it is difficult to focus in low light and a little slow but good lens for the price.

    I've owned this lens before on another camera and it was awesome. Bought it again when I got another Nikon and it never fails to impress. Excellent quality optics for the price.

    This lens is amazing! A must for ever DX Nikon shooter. Even if you have this covered in a zoom lens you don’t have it covered at 1.8. Invaluable for low light..

    I have been using this lens daily for a year and a half and there are no functional issues to date. It is lightweight, the clip is durable and it still works like a charm.

    This lens is amazing. I was going to get the 50mm, but went with the 35mm because my camera does not have a full-frame sensor. It is perfect for all uses.

    This particular lens is one of the best that Nikon has ever produced. Best Buy had it on sale for just under $200. The shipping was quick. I love this lens and you will too!

    This lens is excellent for portraits both for large groups and close-ups of individuals. The ratio of field-of-view to image size makes this a go to lens.

    It works great. It takes the most wonderful pictures. There is no zoom in or zoom out but that doesn't really matter to me. Most of the pictures I take are in the 35mm range.
