This was a present for my partner that couldn't have gone down better. It's slightly more expensive than some of the other dedicated lenses you can get (and a lot cheaper than others) but the price to performance ratio is incredible. You'll take what would usually result in a decent photo except now it looks incredible, lovely natural bokeh effect with incredibly precise central detailing and lovely natural vignetting around the outside. Standard Nikon mount. Couldn't recommend it higher.

Yes, I was apprehensive but this was super great. I bought a digital recorder from CEX online before and it ended up being like new and wonderful. Now I didn't believe that old glass could feel this good, but my brother, good lord, no defects or marks, and I don't mean the glass, but the whole thing itself. Bargain it was. Second time her lucky and I will buy asgain because they've shown good price and trustworthy. I take photos now and love. love you too.

Someone else wrote a review where they said they couldn't believe they took so long to buy this lens, and I wholeheartedly agree. I purchased this 35mm f/1.8 for shooting with my Nikon D7100. (I originally purchased a 50mm lens forgetting about the crop factor and wanted that true 50mm look, so I purchased this lens.) I used it for a week while working at a children's grief/bereavement summer camp program. I shot a mix of action and portrait shots, both indoor and out. Beautiful bokeh. Great low-light performance. It's not the quickest to auto-focus (compared to my Nikkor 50mm), which was a slight disappointment, but wow-oh-wow I was amazed at the results overall. I anticipate this being my main go-to lens from this moment forward.

I have a DX Nikon camera (D-7000) and purchased the FX 50mm 1.8 lens primarily for the bokeh possibilities and to see if it helped with getting a wider field of view for family gathering photos. I forgot to factor in the 1.5x crop factor for using an FX with a DX sensor so my 50mm is actually a 75mm on my camera. To experiment with a wider angle lens, I go the DX 35mm f/1.8G. It was exactly what I was looking for. I gave it four stars instead of 5 because it is a lot stiffer mounting and unmounting on my camera than any other lens (DX or FX) that I have. I use it sparingly because of that, because of the concern that it might be wearing on parts of my camera's lens mounting system.
So far I am really enjoying using this 50mm f/1.4 lens. It has fast autofocus, good bokah, is small, lightweight, and yields sharp images when it hits focus on my D800. But this is my first "modern" G series lens, after using nothing but older AF-D and manual focus lenses on my Nikons, so I don't have the same perspective or presumptions as other "professional" reviewers have who generally panned this lens's performance. Regardless, if you can get this lens on sale, it is a great addition if you need a fast prime 50mm F-mount lens. The only downside is that it takes 58mm lens filters, so all my 52mm filters I use on my older prime lenses won't fit.
I have an old Nikon D5200 from 2013. I had survived on the kit zoom lens and some of my vintage F-mount film lenses (yes, you can use old lenses, but you will not have autofocus and will have to adjust aperture on the lens). But as I ended up using my camera to cover events, I needed to upgrade to modern lenses. I initially bought the 50mm and 85mm f/1.8 G lenses that work on full frame and crop sensor Nikon cameras (FX and DX). But since the 5200 is a crop sensor camera, I still needed a “normal” nifty-fifty equivalent lens. So I went for this affordable 35mm DX lens (52.5mm FX full frame equivalent field of view). I love its compact size and the beautiful images that it captures. Do not confuse it with the cheaper “D” series lens. Check compatibility on the Nikon ... MoreI have an old Nikon D5200 from 2013.

I love its compact size and the beautiful images that it captures. Do not confuse it with the cheaper “D” series lens. Check compatibility on the Nikon site as the D lens will not have autofocus capability with older cameras like the D5200. That’s why I went with this lens which was a little more expensive but still very affordable.
This is a great little lens. I bought it as the first upgrade from the 18-55mm and 70-300mm kit lenses that came with my Nikon D3500. I wanted a faster lens that would expand my low-light horizons, but I also didn't want to spend a ton of money- making this the logical choice. This lens is everything I was hoping it would be. The f/1.8 aperture is fantastically bright and allows for shooting sharp, clean pictures handheld at lower ISOs without a flash in surprisingly dim light. Well suited for normal- field-of-view night sky photography as well (e.g., constellations.) It's a very sharp lens, noticeably sharper than my 18-55mm kit lens. Autofocus is a little louder than on the 18-55mm kit lens, but accurate and reasonably quick. A lot of people complain about the ... MoreThis is a great little lens.

Autofocus is a little louder than on the 18-55mm kit lens, but accurate and reasonably quick. A lot of people complain about the cheap construction but realistically there is only one moving part to break (the focus ring) and it's reasonably solid. For anything low-light or indoors, this lens is now my tool of choice. Overall, a top performer at a very low price point and a worthy investment for any Nikon DX shooter.
So far, this lens has worked well for me. For the price, it's a solid performer that, I'll venture to say, will work for probably 90% of photographers. Unless you are working in a war-zone and need a tank of a lens, this lens will work for you. Don't buy into the hype that expensive glass will make you a better photographer. There are plenty of examples of photographers using basic kit gear producing stunning results. Be one of those photographers who truly understands and is knowledgeable about the basics of photography and how to create solid results - your wallet will thank you.
The Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8G lens is a light, compact lens that is decently sharp wide open and renders a pleasant, soft-edged, non-frenzied bokeh. On a Nikon z50 color rendition is excellent, nuanced, and superior to cheaper alternatives. The Nikon 35mm is sharp into the corners. However, when it is used wide open, at f/1.8, to exploit shallow depth-of-field effects, the lens displays both red and/or green color fringing depending on harsh highlights or areas of the image. The red color fringing is very difficult to correct in CaptureOne, Affinity Photo, or Iridient Developer. (It may be much easier with Nikon’s latest software but which I believe is incompatible with Apple OS Sierra [10.12.6]. Nikon’s own CAPTURE NX-D is clumsy and unintuitive software but it is ... MoreThe Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8G lens is a light, compact lens that is decently sharp wide open and renders a pleasant, soft-edged, non-frenzied bokeh.

Nikon’s own CAPTURE NX-D is clumsy and unintuitive software but it is more up-to-date.) Color fringing and chromatic aberration begins to correct nicely at f/2 and to a large degree by f/2.8; f/4 brings about very sharp detail for all pixel-peepers. I did not find vignetting to be a problem at all. Auto-focusing is fast and silent but focusing the lens manually lets you feel the rough plastic-on-plastic crudeness of cheap manufacturing. It’s no wonder the lens sells for under $200. If you use it as AF only you will be very pleased with it’s performance and results. It is excellent value for the price and impossible to beat.
