Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens with Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras, 2183, Black

Great lens

Out of focus pictures even in good light condition outdoor. Indoor results are especially not giving expected vivid images

Bra för sitt pris, enkelt att ta fina bilder i vardagsmiljöer.

Voulant s'entraîner avec objectif fixe pour portrait et prise en faible luminosité c'est un bon achat au vu de son prix.

A compra foi ótima. A lente é sensacional! Como tudo o que a Nikon faz. A relação com o vendedor foi perfeita. Entrega e segurança nota 10.

This Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX lens produces sharp pictures and great color and contrast. It is also perfect for portrait and other general purposes . This lens also produces nice bokeh. The picture quality and bokeh quality are very good. Overall, this is a very versatile lens. Being a prime lens (this 35mm lens), you will need to move your feet a lot to compose your picture.The big plus with this lens over the older 35mm lens is the AF-S feature which is auto focus system that is internal to the lens, very fast and very silent. This lens will please a lot of people who currently own D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D3100, D3200, D5000, D5100, D5200 and D7000, as they now can benefit from the autofocus. Another big win is the manual override on autofocus mode (M/A mode), which will allow us to change the focus without having to change the mode to manual mode Here are the summary of pros and cons for this Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S lens: Pros: 1. AF-S AF-S AF-S (very fast focus, internal focus, and very silent) 2. M/A mode (manual focus override available on autofocus mode) 3. Very fast lens (f/1.8) 4. Very sharp pictures 5. Great for sport/action photography (though you might need more zoom) 6. Great for indoor and low light situation 7. Great for portrait 8. Bokeh is almost as good as many expensive Nikon tele-lens 9. Perfect for low light with no-flash event. However, also check out the following lens for low light photography: 17-35mm f/2.8, 24-70 f/2.8, 17-55mm f/2.8, 28-70mm f/2.8 or the the 50mm nikon prime lenses. 9. Great focal length (35mm). About 50mm equivalent which is a normal lens (If you need more zoom, you can get the Nikon 50mm or 85mm prime lens or 70-200mm f/2.8 VR lens). 10.Very fast and very silent focus. Cons: 1. Being prime lens, you need to move your feet a lot to adjust/compose 3. No VR. As VR will be useful for taking handheld shots on low light

What a great price for a fast, prime lens that you'll use every day. I'm a nube to photography (good photography) and have caught the bug. I've got a Nikon D5200 and primarily take pictures of family and kids sporting events. The big zoom goes to the soccer games with us, but for almost everything else I use this little gem. With a max aperture of 1.8 you'll rarely need a flash for most of life's events indoors or out. The sharpness of the pictures I've taken with this is so good that you can really crop something down if you want to "zoom" in using Photoshop or Aperture with no graininess or degredation. At the risk of embarrassing myself to the more savvy photo enthusiasts I will try and explain why this and not the 18-55mm kit lens that you got with your camera. No it doesn't zoom (that's the prime lens part), but you'll find yourself in the 35mm range on that 18-55mm lens most times anyway. They say a 35mm lens is most representative of what the eye sees anyway. What it does do is let in a lot of light, a lot more than the kit lens does. This gives you a couple benefits first of which is speed (the fast lens or fast glass part) which means less blur on things moving and stationary. It also means that you can dial down your ISO settings. Higher ISO settings tend to add noise to the picture which gives you that pixelated look when you zoom in and crop a picture. Thirdly is something us point-and-shooters have never gotten to appreciate called depth of field. This lens will let you take those great looking photos where your subject is in perfect focus and the background is pleasantly blurred drawing your attention to what you intended the view to see. You can adjust your aperture setting to have a deep depth of field where everything is in focus, but you'll need a fast lens like the 1.8 to get a really striking shallow depth of field photo like the pros. For under $200 (maybe under $100 if you get a good price for your kit lens on Ebay), this is the single best thing you can buy to take great photos. You can pay more money for better cameras with larger sensors and more bells and whistles, but so far it appears to me that you're better off taking pictures with a great lens on a good camera, than a good lens on a great camera.
