    Great camera lens for all levels of photography. Great 1.8 aperture to create excellent blur. It is a fixed lens so you will have to be agile to capture stunning photos.

    I use this lense primarily for landscape photography with my D7000 camera, I get nice, sharp images from edge to edge. Prime lenses are the best and this is a lense you can count on everytime.

    Those who are looking for a low-light companion to go along with their current kit lens should consider this lens. I would highly recommend it to even the most amateur photographers. The 35mm f/1.8G provides greater depth of field control with its large aperture, which makes it easy to blur backgrounds. However, for those interested in getting closer to the subject, you should consider the 50mm f/1.8G as it offers a more pleasing angle of view for photographing people. The 50mm costs nearly the same and works on both DX and full frame FX cameras.

    An essential lens for all photographers.

    Fantastic lens--if you are only going to own one lens besides your kit zoom (and you're on a budget), get this one. A 35mm on a DX format camera has the same perspective as a 50mm lens on a full-frame camera (it's a "normal" lens). Meaning that your photos have a very natural look, neither flattened by a telephoto nor exaggerated by a wide-angle. The lens is wide enough to capture landscapes and narrow enough for portraits. It is, in short, an essential prime lens for all photographers.

    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..
