Opinion: I bought this lens with my first camera (Nikon D200) to have the best value for money. Unfortunately this 35mm lens didn't like my D200 and I was disatifisied by the pictures, especially in terms of colours and sharpness. Since I bought my D90, I gave this lens a second chance and it was love at first sight! I thing this lens delivers the best performance with CMOS sensors. So, if you don't like the lens, consider a problem of machine coupling.
Some people says about manual focus ring, as I always use the autofocus (as 95% of people) I just keep on the light hood mounted flipped, in that way I avoid to ruin the body of the lens.
For that amount of money, this lens gives you the best value and result! Perfect for learning and having an equivalent 50mm on a dx sensor.
Pros: Price, Performance, Size, Weight, Availability, small 52mm filters
Cons: No focus distance window
Opinion: I believe that Nikon is unique and unusual offering a real option for offering a fastish standard lens solely for DX use - and in them doing so, in a very well performing and quite well made compact package, has made this lens a really big seller for Nikon. Otherwise, we'd only have the Sigma EX, or Art (now) 30mm f1.4, which I was wanting to buy but there are so many of these little Nikons around, I was able to get a mint used one with lenshood, from a reputable seller with 6 months warranty - for just over 100 pounds sterling. That's the price of one Lee filter! There are no issues over image quality, even at f1.8 it is good to go, lower contrast in the corners and edges might make it look less sharp wide open and unlike those Sigma's, the edges always hold up well along with the very sharp centre. And none of those silly back focus issues that seem to still plague Sigma. On the D7000, it is a nice handling package, you can shoot freely and easily and the AF is good, though not lightning fast. Manual focus is OK too. My main gripe - and the reason why I haven't bought one up to now, is the lack of a distance scale. Big deal, eh? Well, if you're shooting stars and want infinity or at night generally and the viewfinder is too dark to focus, then a distance scale can really help, though with modern polycarbonate lenses, the accuracy of marked infinity is often variable. My uses will be for a back up fast standard to keep in the pocket to use alongside my usual standard zoom, for night time city street shots, live music and interiors of churches and such. At f1.8 and focussing from about 2m and closer, there can be a good bokeh effect, it's not the smoothest of blurs but then it's not really designed for such, especially also due to its focal length. One day, I'll buy the excellent Sigma Art 35mm f1.4, to use on both FX and DX, but in the meantime, this cheap and cheerful little lens is a good substitute. I score 9/10, the point taken off mainly due to that lack of distance scale.
Opinion: this is a must have lens if you are just starting out and have the kit lens then you need this one. this has help me so much in learning photography ..composition...framing up a subject. now its a prime lens so u have to move your feet to zoom in and out which is no biggie now i know its been out some time but it is still a great lens go to adorama or B&H photo look in there lens dept and save money you wont regret getting it

Cons:Plastic, noisy autofocus compared to new optics.
Opinion:Goal that not everyone likes, because of the format. I honestly enjoyed it right away on my faithful D7000. Ideal for the street, it shows excellent sharpness by closing it at 5.6. It softens to more open diaphragms, but depending on the use you make of it it is preferable to open and steal some stops in terms of brightness and laying time rather than enjoy a sharp image. Very compact size, small and weighs nothing, makes it the ideal lens for when you go around and you don't need any zoom optics. In addition, I was impressed by the use also on FF, without cropping the DX area. In fact, even at the most open focal points, it shows a slight vignetting that can be modified in pp.
Opinion:A very valid objective in terms of sharp image and comfort: it is small and light and above all, which is no small matter, it is cheap! It excels in street photography and night at small to medium distance. It is also very valid for portraits, although for those the 50 mm would be the top. Unfortunately it sins on the material, but for what Nikon offers us is a lens more than promoted!
