    I purchases my Nikon D7000 with the lens package. While both lenses served it's purpose I was still looking for that everyday quick shooting lens. Well this 35mm suits my needs. quick auto focus and if I want to get closer I just move in. If your looking for a cheap 35mm this is it.

    Good lens, at a great price. Especially with the price match. A no brainer. I use this on a Nikon 5300

    Really good lens for beginners. However, I do wish it came with a little zoom. Other than that it's really great and 100% worth the money

    Quality control is an issue maybe, but I have an issue a year later. My focus has a sticky pint in the middle of the focus. Its getting worse. Somwthing inside has binded it feels like. You can even hear it hit that point halfway thru, and its not good. Still works, but for how long? I guess its rma time but still that is no fun.

    This lens provides a much higher contrast for dim objects compared to my Nikon DX 18-300 mm zoom lens. As expected it requires care to focus it properly when the focusing must be done manually. I am delighted with the purchase.

    This lense is fantastic. The clarity and quick focus ability is great. The ability to focus quickly is a great asset allowing you to capture the moment before it is gone.

    The lense was way out of focus on my D7000 and i took it to have to calibrated to my camera and after doing that it's taking awesome pictures.

    The lens that came with my Nikon camera has an f-stop of 3.5 which is rather slow for indoor, no-flash photography. This new f1.8 lens suits my purposes very well.

    Nice lens but I only returned it because it's a fixed lens and I needed more range for now. I bought another NIKON lens from Best Buy that is 18-150mm instead. Couldn't afford both.

    I would recommend all to try this lense. You can really understand your pictures better by using a variety of lenses. There are some people who can not see a difference in the photo out come but they will with more use. This lense is not good for distance shooting.

    Compact, fast, sharp lens, AND affordable! When I was looking for another prime lens (I gave my old nifty fifty and D80 to my daughter) and couldn't decide between another 50mm or this one. I went with this one and haven't been disappointed.
