Pros: Sharpness, high-performance autofocus, lightness, brightness, engraving from 24 Mpx and below

Cons: too contrasted, closed shadows, absence of tropicalization, colors that pull in the cold

Opinion: a very large lens, in relation to the cost in new and used ... Clearly it does not have the total quality of its brother f/1.4, but it defends itself very well, sharp to be scary, it definitely shows the rope mounted on sensors such as that of the D810 or D850, its right use is on a less dense sensor, such as the 24 mpx of a D780 or a D750. The cons are cons up to a certain point, in the sense that regarding too much contrast, closed shadows and "COLD" colors, just work on white balance and picture control during shooting, or at least in post-production. The only real big effective against, I think is the lack of tropicalization, which would have made it a perfect fixed lens in any condition.

Pros: resolution, lightness, AF

Cons: slightly cold colors and closed shadows

Opinion: The optics are truly phenomenal, usable both at TA for portraits and at closed apertures for landscapes, with D850 it allows you to print large formats with edges at excellent resolution. The construction is plasticky but the optics are really compact and light. The colors are among the coldest I've seen and the shadows closed, in PP you have to work to give them a little "warmth" and open the shadows, which is very easy because fortunately there are no dominants and you can always balance everything

Pros: Great sharpness, effective autofocus, robust.

Cons: Nothing in particular

Opinion: I bought this lens six years ago for the "small" D3300 and since then it has been the standard lens for me. With the small sensor it shows off beautiful, sharp and correct Jpegs at full aperture, splendid color rendering. In the night photos of urban landscapes, fixed cameras and long poses, he gave me great satisfaction, bringing out images that, as a pure amateur without who knows what technical baggage, have always seemed to me beautiful to lick my fingers. In these situations the autofocus is very effective, it rarely misses a shot (unlike the other Nikkor at my disposal, the 16-85 ED DX, which, as far as focusing at night was a half ordeal). It's also sturdy. Once, together with the camera, it fell from about a meter and a half, and after the initial panic, except for one of the fixing tabs of the lens hood, I was able to see that it was not damaged, and the operation remained at its maximum. I've been using it on a full frame for about a year now. With the large sensor you can see a little distortion at the edges in the photos, which was obviously cut before, and in night photos in the city sometimes a few too many flares, but nothing excessive. The same resolution of 24megapixels, spread on the larger surface of the FF sensor, makes it lose a little engraving. In any case, overall, also considering the still affordable price, I would say that it is a piece to have absolutely in the kit.

Pros: Lightweight, autofocus

Cons: Unsharp at the edges

Opinion: I looked for it a lot in the second-hand market, but once I mounted and tested it in the field, I was disappointed by the sharpness. From a fixed point of view I expected more. It is true that it does not cost a kidney like other goals, but honestly in the details it did not satisfy me. On the D780, which already in itself returns pasty and little engraved RAW, this lens gives the coup de grace to your photos. Usable in landscapes and architecture, but not in full-length portraiture. I eventually resold it and got a quality zoom.

Pros: Colors, lights, AF, lightness, sharpness already from f2

Cons: Slight chromatic aberrations at f1.8

Opinion: I had literally fallen in love with the 35 f1.8 DX that I had left in the kit for the atmosphere and the shades of light it came. however, despite the zero cost and the absurd quality on the FF it was necessary to crop relatively to eliminate vignetting. On the advice of several I went on the famous Sigma Art but an absurd disappointment, especially for the fact that 2 photos out of 4 were to be thrown away because the fire was wrong for no reason, plus it had other very serious defects considering how it was decanted, in addition to not giving me that something I expected. At this point I decided to go back to the Nikon and I opted for this 1.8 that is made to go a little into the background because of the 1.4; As soon as I took it I went downtown to try it and the first shot I said ... FINALLY it's him. Took two photos that were perfect not to have to fix a hair in PP. It behaves in a somewhat special way, at open apertures the contrasts increase, a little vignetting is a bit of vividness, at more closed apertures, already from f2.8 the photo becomes more neutral. I'm so glad I took it.
