Cons:Bokeh disagreeable, unclear and lack of contrast at full opening
Opinion:Purchased by NOC for 20 euros as it is noisier than normal. Fast optics with a bit of full-opening vignetting and bokeh fringe. THE CA is moderate and the distortion is actually very well controlled. The main weakness of the lens is its bokeh which is a bit unpleasant. Used with a 12-24 mm extension tube allows you to take quality macros, recommended for landscape and half-bust portrait, astronomical photo. I personally use it on the D700 with excellent results, to always keep in the bag.
Cons:Noisy AF, as on all D's you have to be careful how you hold it so as not to block the focus
Opinion:Bought a few years ago at a ridiculous price, so far I have used it more to try focus or little else. After accompanying me on a trip these days it turned out to be a respectable lens, even given the ergonomic limitations due to the focus system, it is absolutely easy to unintentionally lock the front ring. Apart from that, weight and optical quality make it a very good travel companion when you want to stay light without making compromises. Highly recommended, it is found around at almost symbolic prices. It would be said that all in all they could have kept it in production a few years longer, as nikon did with optics other D optics that remained in the catalog until not so long ago.
Pros:Clear from fear, light, compact (you literally put it in the jeans pocket), metal frame, if you find it used in excellent condition at 60 euros (the 35 DX, you find it on average twice), the cheapest Nikon f1.8 lens there is, does not suffer from flares or ghosts, on DX you put all the filters you want me not to vignette , excellent bokeh better than 35 DX, has distance scale, accepts 52mm filters, hard stop to infinity for focus, much more reliable than 35 DX
Cons:Sometimes it is long when mounted on DX indoors, it needs a machine body with internal AF motor, in poor light while looking for the focus it can be noisy, they did not yet do them with the gasket around the attachment, it does not have internal focus so pump air in and out, does not have the bayonet attachment for a possible lampshed
Opinion:NB: I write all this as a DX owner. That is the objective. Anyone who is in second arms with the photograph should give away their entry level and take a used semi-pro machine body and this lens here. It has impressive versatility, from landscapes, portraits, street, low light photos, astrophotography. On DX it becomes a 75mm 1.8 which is very close to 85mm (I leave it to the reader to draw their own conclusions). It's smaller and lighter than the 35, more reliable because the focus is screwed and there's no risk of swm leaving you at home. A f5.6 is self-ree, but is fully exploitable at f1.8 in the dark and f2.2-f2.8 during the day. It can be long if you want photos in the interior: for a headshot it takes 1.5m, for a bust 2.5m, while for an erect whole body it takes 4.5m. Mounted on the body doesn't even seem to have it on. The front lens is quite inside the lens, so you can remove a possible UV filter without too much fear, so as not to lose that stop fraction in low light. With him you have a lot of fun and it makes you genuinely appreciate photography. Along with any 18-55 and the 35 DX is part of that pink of small lenses that you may never detach from the body. Even here the usual sulphate (:P) about the fact that it is very informative because being a fixed you have to move a little to find a good composition. With a little english knowledge just take a tour of Rockwell's blog and read his opinion to fall in love with it a priori.
Cons:Non-flawless autofocus and plastic construction.
Opinion:For what it costs it is a must have! Excellent sharpness and pleasant blurry. When you stick it to the machine you struggle to detach it because it gives quality. It is very light and not very bulky. A lens that should not be missing in a Nikon kit. Of course there is now the new version but if you want to save something in the used market this is a valid alternative.
Pros:Small - Lightweight - Compact - Crisp at all openings
Cons:For what it costs no one
Opinion:I have always had this goal: first on analog reflex now on digital FF (D600) and Mirrorl. (Fuji XE3). Never a disappointment. Well balanced colors and excellent sharpness to all diaphragms. On mirrol. it becomes a 75mm1.8 that I use for still life and other works and very little for portraits where I prefer the 85mm1.8. Light and versatile is the optics to take on travel, where you want to stay light without sacrificing quality. Fun and built optics like all AFds: glass and plastic. Price with packaging and conditions as new around 90.00 Euros. Well spent in my opinion... then you do it yourself.
