In the old days, 35mm film cameras would often be bundled with an inexpensive, but bright, 50mm prime lens. Today your typical APS-C SLR comes with an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom instead, a lens that's absolutely adequate for outdoor photography, but struggles in dim light and doesn't give you the ability to blur the background behind your subject with as much aplomb as wide aperture lenses. For DX Nikon owners, the AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G ($199.95) is the modern day equivalent of the fast 50mm prime. Its angle of view basically matches a full-frame 50mm, and the bright f/1.8 maximum aperture makes your viewfinder brighter in dim light and blurs out the background behind your subject. It's an affordable lens for owners of DX (APS-C) Nikon cameras, and a strong performer overall. Design The DX Nikkor 35mm ($246.96 at Amazon) is very small and light. It measures 2.1 by 2.8 inches (HD), weighs 7.1 ounces, and supports 52mm front filters. A reversible lens hood is included, as are rear ...

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G ($599.95) is a fairly inexpensive, lightweight 35mm f/1.8 lens for Nikon cameras. It works with both full-frame and APS-C bodies, boasts an internal focus motor, and captures images with excellent sharpness. There's no optical image stabilization, but the same can be said for most 35mm prime lenses, and there's just enough barrel distortion to talk about, but that's easily removed using software tools. It's not quite good enough to better our Editors' Choice Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM ($683.00 at Amazon) , but if you don't want a lens that's quite as pricey or as heavy as the Sigma, and can live without an f/1.4 aperture, this 35mm won't let you down. The lens measures 2.8 by 2.8 inches (HD), weighs 10.8 ounces, and supports 58mm front filters. It's a featherweight when you compare it with the Sigma, which weighs 1.5 pounds and is bigger at 3.7 by 3 inches. The Nikkor includes a reversible, petal-style lens hood and a carrying pouch. It focuses as ...

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G is a solid lens if you want a lightweight 35mm for your Nikon SLR, but it's not the best one you can get.

Quite sharp; Compact and light; Not that expensive; Wide aperture

Some barrel distortion; Lacks optical stabilization

This is my first DSLR camera. The quality of the photos are excellent. The large screen menu system is easy to read and navigate, even for a newby like me. Definitely good value for money, especially with the bonus prime lense.

While picking this unit, we found plenty of reasons to put it on this list, but what really stood out to us was the different variables available with different accessories. Not a lot of units offer that kind of choice for users and those that do are only between one or two accessories, unlike the...

Lacks any hard stops while using the manual focus, Users might notice a bit of barrel distortion while using it, Bokeh feature doesn’t work as ideally as it does on other types of lenses

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

More like an iPhone 13S. The generational upgrades for the iPhone 14 are limited to a few subtle changes. At the same time, however, the base price climbs to 800 USD, while the only true innovation happens inside the iPhone 14 Pro series.
