    This is an amazing lens that will give you an amazing Background focus effect. It all depends on which camera you have, the more advanced the better in low light.

    I bought this lens as the first supplement to the two that came in the package for my D5000. I use it mostly for macro photography, with macro filters attached, great results. I also use it a lot for composed landscape shots. It's fully compatible with the D5000 line of Nikon cameras and performs flawlessly.

    Great width with little distortion. Works very nicely indoors without the need for a flash. Still need to get use to how autofocus works with this lens - it doesn't always pick out what I want. I'm sure the issue is with my photo skills rather than the lens though! Great overall.

    Purchased this auto focus wide angle lens for my daughter's camera. Her original camera package came with a 55mm lens and a 70 x 300 zoom, so this 35mm lens filled a need in her camera arsenal. She has used it many times and loves the lens and ease of use.

    Awesome lens. It took excellent picture and the color rendering was awesome. I have a D5600 camera and this lens was a very good addition to my kit.

    I have an older camera body and it is wonderful that Nikon produces lens that will still allow me to create great pictures. This lens does everything I need it to.

    This lens is great for the price. This is the first lens I have bought, and I use it the majority of the time. Amazing quality photos for someone who has only used kit lenses up until this purchase. Highly recommend.

    For $200 you can't go wrong, especially since it has a metal mount and a gasket to keep out dust. (Whoopee-do, the 50mm f/1.8D sells for half as much and has a metal mount, too). Best Buy had a deal on Presidents’ Day for $179.99.

    We purchased this lens to do better quality close ups of our children. This DOES NOT disappoint! The lens is amazing in clarity and most shots are perfect straight out of camera rather than having to be edited. Highly recommend.
