Pros: Sharp, light & compact, big value for money

Cons: Nothing relevant considered the price

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.

Pros: sharp, lightweight, flexible, bright

Cons: plastic perhaps

Opinion: On my D90 it is equivalent to a 50ino that is not really my favorite focal length, and not to a 35mm but honestly I paid so little that I could not miss it. My preferences apart I found it excellent: excellent brightness, excellent sharpness and with the matching hood there are no problems of flare or infiltration. And since it's fashionable, it seems to me to have a great obokeh, but I don't understand much of it... In short, maybe I don't use it, but in bags it is always there.

Pros: Bright, beautiful colors, sharpness, overall look of the photos.

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: Fantastic goal, I love it. With the D500 I always carry it with me and it never disappoints me, I always take out beautiful photos, with beautiful colors and excellent sharpness. I would say that it is a lens that makes me want to photograph, also for the fact that it is very compact when mounted. in addition on FF it is equivalent to a 52mm which is my favorite focal length. The vignetting is present, but very soft and as far as I am concerned it helps to give a very pleasant look to the photos. Obviously it is plastic and does not have a professional feeling, but for the price it has you can not want anything more than it already offers.
