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: Compact, lightweight, economical, good yield.

Cons: I'm not good enough to find any.

Opinion: I bought this lens to use in combination with my old and glorious D300s. The main purpose was to have a bright lens to take photos at night when I am traveling. I used it mainly for that and for the price it has I had a lot of fun. Lightweight and absolutely not bulky, it allows you to walk through the streets of the city at night using artificial lights. It's a permissive lens at that juncture, my camera can't hold high Iso, but it has always been possible to correct the noise. I have always been fine, for the cost and the bulk in my opinion it should always be taken on a trip.

Pros: Sharpness, final quality of the shot, faithful colors, bright, weight

Cons: Chromatic aberrations at f1.8, low-light focus

Opinion: Lens bought used in the store for € 100 with 1 year warranty, excellent value for money, I use it for practically everything except where I need a wide angle and churns out really beautiful photos that require little post production, excellent sharpness and color quality, I use it for portraits, landscape photos and a little bit for everything, I was amazed by the use in astrophotography, it sees practically in the dark and can capture details of the sky that cannot be seen with the naked eye, excellent for photos in the evening or in clubs, it returns photos faithful to reality. The only 2 cons are the embarrassing chromatic aberrations at f1.8 and the inaccurate focus in low light, you have to take at least 2 shots to be sure, but for 100€ used even too much, if you use it with knowledge of the facts you can avoid the two cons mentioned above, if it were stabilized it would be 10. Overall rated 9 out of 10.
