Have only had this lens for less than a week now, but am very pleased with the results I'm getting with it installed on my D3400. With the 3400, this lens allows the same basic view and capture as the human eye.

I wanted a 35mm prime that would offer great performance. For a couple weeks I reviewed all three of the FX offerings, considering not only performance and cost but also weight. I opted for the f1.8G and so far I think I made a perfect choice for a walking around lens on both my D750 and D800.

Seemingly awesome lens on its own. Though be careful when buying this to use with some Nikon models, in my case - D5300 - this thing back focuses. Since my camera doesn't have focus tweak via menu - this needs to go to Nikon for repair / adjustment. Just do your research.

AF-S NIKKOR lenses feature Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM), which represents a significant advance in AF lens technology. SWM uses ultrasonic vibrations-rather than a gear system-to focus the lens, providing incredibly smooth, silent and precise autofocus operation.

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 DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G lens is bright and sharp, and worth adding to your DX Nikon SLR kit.

This lenses was bought to do low light work indoors and learn portraiture. It is excellent for both. The shallow depth of field from f1.8 beautifully blurs the background to make the subject be the centre of attention. The low light performance allows indoor use with no flash which is great.

Feels cheap in the hand and have to admit it doesn't look very good mounted on the camera but the pictures from this lens are almost impossibly sharp. I bought this to replace a Sigma 30mm lens which cost double this and it's like night and day. Also very lightweight.

Great value for money - good quality photos, even in low-light conditions. Works well for portraits and general street photography. Would recommend if you're looking for a lens with a larger aperture than the Nikon kit lenses, but don't want to blow your budget.

I bought this lens to take photos indoors of my new grandson at Christmas & it has not disappointed. Great shots & great clarity. I researched whether to buy this or 50mm & I believe this was the right choice. Also used it outdoors & pleased with the results of Christmas lights without using tripod.

I purchased this lens mainly to use in low light situations when my 18-140 was too slow. It is also considerably lighter, compact and sharp.
