    This was great after using the kit lenses. I'm just learning at the moment. So far I'm really enjoying it. Its definitely worth the purchase.

    Great for short range, focusing on specific items

    This was my first lens purchase as a fashion blogger. It's great for focusing on smaller items within a short range (a couple of feet away), but doesn't give you the same effect from farther away. Maybe I need to experiment more. As far as zoom goes, I like to be able to zoom while taking video, but this lens does not allow any zoom. So if you like to zoom for pictures/video, this is not the lens for you!

    Not as good as my FX 50mm lens, but still better than the kit lenses these cameras come with. The 35mm definitely helps with taking more portrait and closer up shots. I found I had to constantly back up further when using my 50mm.

    This lens is ready for use straight out of the box. Auto-focus is quick and the motor is silent. I have a D3100 and with this lens, it has been my goto combination for any type of photography.
