 New main squeeze March 14, 2010
Carolyn E. Blakeney (Annapolis, MD United States)
The Nikon 50mm 1.8 was my first 'fast' prime digital lens, and is still a treasured piece of equipment, but the 35mm 1.8 is hands down my most frequently used lens now. And it should be, as it's close to the DX equivalent of the almost normal field of view you get with a 50mm on a film camera. Actually, it's a tiny bit more of a telephoto than that, but for just under $200 I am not complaining.
There are four zoom lenses that sit in my bag for the most part these days- two or three of them still 'earn their keep' from time to time, but the value of the fixed 35mm 1.8 is awfully hard to match for those of us on limited budgets. I would still have one as an excellent utility lens if my income was double what it is now.
Great value for fast lens March 13, 2010

You won't find a better value for such a fast lens, great for shooting in low light without a flash. I use it on my D40. For a great review, go here: [...]
Good bokeh and super fast, great for low light March 12, 2010
D. Lilly (Silverdale, WA, US)
Good bokeh and super fast, great for low light. I still think the 50mm 1.8 Nikon for $130 has better bokeh and a little better picture quality consistently. Just my two cents. I have both and tend to favor the 50mm. Don't waste your money on the 50mm 1.4 whatever you do, get the 50mm 1.8.
Very happy - haven't taken it off my D40 since I bought it. March 11, 2010
C. J. Swartz (Arizona, USA)
I'm a lifelong photo hobbyist, but not one who understands the technical part of lens reviews - there are some of those available here and elsewhere on the net anyway. I have the Nikon D40, and wanted a fast lens to complement my two kit zoom lens (18-55m and 55-200mm VR). Read good reviews about this lens and liked the price, so saved some pennies and bought it for myself for Christmas. I generally have preferred using a telephoto lens for big views of long-range subjects, but started taking close-up shots inside my home (cats, still life, working up to portraits of people) and found that I loved the large sharp images possible with this lens. Most of us love getting the subject in focus and blurring the background, and that's easy to do with this lens. I worried about whether I would enjoy using a lens at this focal length, but found that I haven't taken it off my camera once since I put it on. With the higher ISO ranges available in recent cameras plus this fast lens, there will be many more available light shots possible. It's not perfect, according to people who know how to measure distortion etc., but I don't need perfect -- I need a good, fast, sharp-focusing lens that doesn't make me cringe when I read the credit card bill for the next 6 months, and this lens meets my needs. It may meet yours also - the equipment is well made and works well -- the only question is whether it is the focal-length and speed that you happen to need.
 A mixed bag for a sub $200 lens March 10, 2010
Book Fan (Virginia)
I purchased this lens without doing a lot of research since Nikon typically puts out good lens & primes are typically worry-free when it comes to barrel distortion and similar concerns due to their 'fixed' nature. I also have the 50mm f1.8 which performs marvelously, so I assumed the 35mm would as well. This is where I was wrong. The 35mm f1.8's lens barrel distortion is one of the worst [...]. The other metrics did not make for a great lens as well. If you don't read Ken Rockwell, start. He lists the pros and cons for this sub $200 lens at [...]. Therefore, be sure to do your research and understand where this lens exceeds and fails. Yes, Capture NX2 can automatically correct the distortion...however, the excessive degree of distortion was disappointing so I will try to find a Sigma/Tamron 35mm prime for my D90.
