Customer Ratings & Reviews

The lens takes great pictures and is the one which primarily stays on my camera. After a few months the camera would state the lens wasn't mounted correctly event though it was. Best Buy cust service rep would not let me return it for exchange. I had to buy another lens and will now have to send the defective one to Nikon. I expected more from Best Buy. Disappointed.

Awesome lenses for the price shoots very clean pics with tons of bokeh.

Excellent sharpness for such a budget lens. 35mm is the first prime you should buy with a DX camera.

Great lens. Takes great pics. Easy to use. Great instructions.

This focal length corresponds to 52mm on full frame. I use this when I feel like challenging myself with a fixed focal length lens when I go out shooting. I mainly use it for street photography.

My first lens purchase (besides the kit lens). Bought this from recommendations to help become a better photographer...they were 100% correct. Images are crisp and clear, it really makes you work on your shot composition and forces you to really be interactive with the subject. Lens feels solid and has been trouble free.

I'm a neophyte and vaguely self taught. Sifting through the internet the general consensus was to invest in a prime lens to complement your kit lenses. Knowing I didn't want to go through the hassle of having a a potentially unliked lens delivered I headed to my local Best Buy. After checking their selections I initially bought the 50 millimeter lens, but found it a bit constricting. Without any hassle I returned it and got the 35 millimeter. I have not been disappointed and am able to take portraits with nice bokeh and as well as landscape shots. Low light photography also improved dramatically in comparison to the kit lenses. If you do a little research you will find that this lens is super reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend it and plan on getting a 50 millimeter when my budget permits.

Best lens for the price and creating bokeh with ease, great lowlight performance.

easy sure shot every time! A must for a beginner. Light in weight and good for anyone

Great step up from the basic lens. Great bokeh and great for even architectural shots.

So i asked around all my tech friends and camera lovers which would be best during my travel in Mexico. I would be traveling in busses and 'combi' which is a smaller version of a bus and those travel at high speeds and no time to adjust the lens at all time. THIS LENS WAS PERFECT! It captured all the high and low lit images perfectly, so crisp and clear and simply beautiful. I have a Nikon D5200.

I absolutely love these lens. It's really a level up from the standard lens. It's perfect for photographers working with a single subject. The lens focuses on the subject and blurs the background which is perfect for portraits. I recommend this lens over the 1.8f 50mm one because this lens comes with auto/manual focus and it requires a short distance from the subject to focus.

Bought this lens for my Nikon D500. Great lens. Sharp. Inexpensive.

This is very nice for a fixed focal length lens, allowing for a low f-stop number.

LOVE my 35mm lens with my Nikon D40 (crop sensor). Because my camera is a crop sensor it comes out to be more of a 50mm which I am ok with. The image quality is great and I love the shallow depth of field I can achieve with this lens. It's a good price for a beginner/hobby photographer looking to get out of the 18-55mm kit lens.

Great low light fast lens producing stunning photos, a great all around lens.

This is a great step up from any kit lens. Being a prime lens built for small frame. It works amazingly with any intro nikon. I've even used it for film. The lens focuses fast and very quiet! The lens is a 35mm lens but, on a small frame camera like the d3000, that would be about 52mm which is an even better deal! Now you get just as much sharpness for a 50mm lens with this awesome silent af!

Great lens for portrait shots! Def worth it and great price!

Is a high quality lenses and works great it helps a lot in dark places

Much better than my 18-140mm Kit Lens from Nikon, even though I love my 18-140mm lens, this is way better in Bokeh, and a lot clearer in detail for the same type photo as I compared them myself today when I bought it to make sure, I never bought a Prime Lens before but now I am a believer in them...
