A MUST for every DX shooter I've used this product for quite a time. At first glance, the fit and finish looks good, light, easy to handle. The SWM is a great addition for users of all entry level camera bodies, AF speed is acceptable and MF override is possible. Image quality wise, TREMEDOUS, it goes beyond my expectation even at widest aperture (though contrast dropped just a little), sharpness is great at the center, the corner is not bad, then everywhere looked tack-sharp just around F2.8 - 4. Background blur is a little harsh wide-opened and becomes most pleasing around F2.8 All in all, if you're a DX shooter, go to buy this lens now, I know you'll love this just like me. July 30, 2010
Fantastic quality I love this lens. I just recently bought it and it hasn't left my camera (the D3100) since then. The quality is amazing. Yes, the autofocus is finnicky at times, but can be easily fixed by switching to manual focus. I haven't tested out bokeh yet, but as long as you have good lighting, the photos turn out fantastic when using the maximum aperture. The colors turn out bright and the photo is very clear. June 27, 2012
Great lens!!!!! I wanted a good lens for newborn photography. Better than I ever thought possible. I love it!!!!!! June 22, 2012
Great for Portrait I bought this lens for my D7000, and the photo quality is excellent.Even with minimum light, it will still take great photos. This lens is better than 50mm (if you own D7000), as 50mm is too long for DX camera like mine. June 1, 2012
Brilliant Lens - Absolutely fabulous bokeh.... I have been using this lens for over an year now. With the most basic entry level D300, I have taken pictures that looks professional. The price makes it even easier. May 17, 2012

Answer: 
The D200 is a "crop" DX camera, so this lens will focus properly and will not cut off the edges. It will be a great lens if you need a fast semi-wide lens!

Answer: 
If you read my review, you'll find the 40mm Micro was just released only 5mm difference, but includes 1:1 macro capability and only a little more than the 35mm. The 35mm is faster and is a great lens on it's own which offers a "50mm" view for DX cameras. It was out of stock due to high demand, and I'm sure the tsunami situation in Japan didn't help production. If you want the speed, go for the 35mm. If you want the macro, go for the new 40mm when it hits store shelves, it will probably be hard to find initially, just like the 35mm as demand will likely outpace supply. Either will help if you don't have a sharp lens in this range!

Answer: 
i guess it's gotta do with the upcoming 50/1.8 af-s lens, since the two are probably quite similar, the factory lines are probably busy spewing out the new 50mms batch after batch. then afterwards they'll manufacture some more 35mms.

Answer: 
I believe your D3X has DX lens detection mode, so yes it should work, is a digital lens , not an FX...
I would say , if you can afford D3X, I would be looking for the best piece of glass i could find...
This 35mm is definitely not a pro caliber lens...

Answer: 
The AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8G can be used on a D3X, but it is intended for DX format bodies. Using this lens on a D3X in DX format mode reduces the resolution to ~10MP. For a fixed focal length 35mm lens for FX format the inexpensive route is the AF 35mm f/2.0 http://www.nikonusa.com/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses/1923/AF-NIKKOR-35mm-f%252F2D.html or the expensive route is the AF-S 35mm f/1.4 http://www.nikonusa.com/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses/2198/AF-S-NIKKOR-35mm-f%252F1.4G.html

Think about the word "Gelded" which in this case, a G lens the manual only focus ring is not there, its been Gelded from the lens, The G lens has the power to "Auto Focus" but able to manual over ride the auto, if you ever have a lens that only says "auto" or "manual" on the focus settings on the switch, dont attempt to manually set the focus when its on auto, it will screw up the lens.

Answer: 
If you are asking about how to make blurred backgrounds then you are probably asking about Aperture. You will have to go to Aperture priority and set it at about 2.8-5.6 depending on how far your subject is to the background. Good luck!

Answer: 
See, there are three settings in the camera that control depth of filed (shallow depth of field gives you the out of focus backround)
1. Shoot at f/1.8 (or the biggest aperture available in the lens). Aperture priority is the best mode for this.
2. Use the higher focal length (but I guess you are using a prime lens).
3. Distance between the subject and the lens. Lesser the distance , more out of focus backround.

Answer: 
D60, your best settings for any camera in low light is ISO 100, and the fastest f/stop you can get from lens, in this case 1.8...the problem is the ISO, in the D60 and my D2X the noise is bad compared to todays sensors...my D2x for example, at ISO 400-800 is noisy and not crisp...this is life with older cameras...sad but true,I spent $5,000 just 6 years ago on a pro model camera that has more sensor noise than todays point n shoots...:(

Answer: 
Any of these prime lenses and Nikkor lenses will work...
Your decision should be based on ...what you want to shoot and how much money you want to spend,
the more you pay the better the lens and image quality...
I believe some refer to the 50mm as a good all around lens (prime)...
Your D90 will perform well with any of these Nikkor lenses...

After selling every single nikon vario i've owned (18-55 vr and hated it, 18-70 and loved it - one of the very best ever made, 55-200), and using only primes now, i hope it has more metal parts in it? Is it anything like the FANTASTIC 24mm 2.8 AF-D in terms of MECHANICAL construction, or do we have to remain grateful that at least the mount flange is metal this time? Do i go for a good old 24 or 28mm AI-S on eBay? I intend to apply it on DX, as prescribed, and will be used heavily, under wide range of environment conditions and light-situations. thanks in advance for any and all useful insights on the matter.

Answer: 
Hi
I suggest you compare all 35mm lenses made by Nikon...
Look at the price difference
I think you will have your answer.
For $200 you will get what you pay for,
For $1,800 you will get what you pay for...

Not to say this lens is bad, you just get what you pay for, some or most cant afford $1800 for a prime lens,
I believe you will get all nikon quality that you pay for...

Answer: 
On an FX-format camera with a DX lens mounted, the camera will automatically engage its built-in DX crop mode.

But, if you are shooting with a film SLR camera, a DX lens will cause vignetting because the DX lenses are designed for the smaller DX sensor. The FX sensor is considered full frame and is the size of 35mm film.

Answer: 
Nikon operates factories all across the globe and each operate to the same high standard. While individual cameras are marked with their country of manufacture we can't make a blanket statement about which camera is produced where.

I am about to purchase either d7000 or d5100 and have budget. If I purchase the D5100 I will no doubt have enough money for both the kit lens along with this lens. For the D7000 I've heard this is a much better choice than it's included kit lens. Since the D7000 is a pricier camera for me I was thinking of just buying the body and buying this lens separately. I like to take photos outdoors and some up close portraits. Also, how well does this lens work under very low light?

Answer: 
Depends on your needs, for outdoor landscapes its not a very wide lens... I have 17-35mm NIkkor 2.8, and i find for most landscapes , 35mm is not wide enough to capture "grand" overall views...
Kits lenses have become much better quality throughout the years for sure, but a prime is always really sharp n clear....think about , if you can live with no zoom lens...a prime is incredible, but will you need versatility of zooming in on something or someone...???

Is this the best lens for taking candid pictures of friends in low light indoor settings? I'm a pretty young photographer and am just buying my first dSLR (D7000). I still am trying to wrap my head around the various lenses. I looked around the website and read some descriptions, and this one looks like it is good for that purpose. Is that true? Is it the best one (that's affordable)?

Thanks in advance!

Answer: 
Hi
The 50mm in full frame is considered a portrait lens,
so the 35mm DX would be pretty close to 50mm in full frame...
if you bought a 50mm now, you could have 50mm later if you switch to full frame camera,
and the 50mm now would be apprx a 75mm...
This 35mmDX is a good all around lens , just remember too, if you want pro glass down the road for DX sensor or Full Frame sensor camera, this lens is not considered "pro" glass...
hope this helps...
p.s. I learned long ago that if I’m buying a lens I know I will never part with n use often, the price for "pro" glass is well worth it...
