Opinion:
perfect glass, but extremely sharp at f1.8, bokeh perfect, the only small criticism of the fact that AF is a little slow, but this is a portrait glass and not for sport.
with this lens would give emphasis to chromatic aberrations are not just something to make more serious, or if we ignore the lens is very good as the FF and the body of the Crop
Opinion: Excellent for live music performances and theatre, both in bad light but where freezing action is necessary. Portraits, too, obviously. Bokeh is very good, best I've used myself. Handling is excellent on D7000, usable one handed, if needed. All plastics very high grade, making light but robust. SWM very fast and accurate. 67mm filters larger than the 62mm D lens that it supersedes. f16 min aperture only an issue in landscape work where DOF is needed, but not really a problem for its normal intended usage. Used recently at a winter wedding for candid shots in quite dark church and then at an even darker reception! Was shooting at 1/80 f1.8 iso 3200 and when I managed to get the manually focussed shots in perfect focus, the results were quite amazing. The professionals were using Canon 85mm L f1.2's and they were very impressed by the open aperture performance of this little Nikon - they were stopping their L f1.2's down to f2 as routine. One of the best lens purchases I've ever made. My score 10/10

Opinion:Spectacular, mounted on a miserable D3200 makes its filth figure and the photos come out to a pro level, it is difficult to miss the shot with such an optics. The value for money is really crazy, at 1.8g has a bokeh that is frighteningly beautiful, sharp, raw photos already come out already beautiful, a pass in the raw room and come out of the masterpieces, slow to have to have to kit
Pros:Excellent not only for portraits but also as medium bright canvas.
Cons:absolutely nothing
Opinion:After a few thousand shots, I can describe this excellent indeed excellent goal. Its scope of use on FX is intended for portraits, but not exclusively because it has a great rendering of detail when used as an average canvas. Used on APS-C (DX) it becomes a canvas, comparable to a 135mm, very bright given its opening f/1.8. In this case, even in view of the relative minimum distance of MAF (0.8m) it is well used to take detailed details. It must be said, moreover, that it is as tropicalized as the whole series (24,28,35,50 and 85) of which it is part. In practice it can be used in all climatic conditions and does not contribute to the injection of dust/humidity towards the camera sensor. The price is very affordable, although lately I see that it has risen significantly. Goal to be seriously considered.
Opinion:Bought a few hours ago, so I reserve the right to add future impressions. Incredibly sharp already at 1.8, brought to 2.8 becomes a razor. In very good light conditions the af is a sniper, but I have not yet got to test it in poorer light situations, and, anyway, the af module of the d600 is certainly not lightning
