Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sharp Wide Open
Seems that much of the discussion about this lens centers upon how sharp the 35 f2 D is wide-open. So as soon as mine arrived I put it to an informal test, setting the D300 to aperture priority and the lens at f2 and shooting more than 200 images at various distances. I opened them in Nikon Capture NX2 and examined them with a critical eye, looking for softness, both overall and in areas of detail. I found nothing - the images are beautiful, crisp and sharp at the point of focus, with smooth, out ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This is my favorite lens!!!
I just can't believe how many extraordinary pictures I took with this lens with my D80.

Highly recommend~



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent prime lens. THE prime lens of you own a DX DSLR body.
I've owned this lens for many years now. It will always be my lens of choice when i don't want to use my zoom lenses.
Pros:
(+) Excellent optical quality, sharpness. no vignetting whatsoever on a DX sensor.
(+) Fast and accurate autofocus (on higher end bodies)
(+) Compact size.
(+) Normal viewing angle on a DX sensor.

Cons:
(-) Does not autofocus on entry level bodies (D40 and D60 at the time of this writing)

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My favourite lens
My best lens by far. Great IQ, light and not too expensive. The focal length is more usable than the 50mm 1.8 (also great) and the build quality is better. I mainly use mine for portraits at f2.8. At f2 it's a tiny bit soft but at 2.8 it's perfect. I have taken some brilliant pics with it. You will not regret this buy.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - beats the 50mm f/1.8
I have a D80 and two VR lenses covering 18-200mm, a 50mm f/1.8...and now this gem. I only add to other positive reviews that this is great for taking shots of my kids and easier to get them into the frame. I think that the f/2 is as good or better than the f/1.8. Also, photos of landscapes are much sharper with this than the 50mm. It feels more solidly built. I like Ken Rockwell and wish that he had evaluated this lens in greater detail...but take his word, this lens is a "gem". It feels great ... Read More
