Reviews around shot (4.73 of 5)

  • I'm no expert, and those shots look great thanks to this lens
  • The interior of our house wasn't particularly well-lit, and even using the speedlight we had, we still were getting a lot of grainy shots
  • I love it, takes some getting used too but well worth it, great low light shots, quick and more compact.
  • Image quality is great and you can get some pretty crazy low aperture shots with it
  • I have a 50mm prime lens that offers great shots, but this 35mm lens offers AWESOME shots!

Reviews around bokeh (4.48 of 5)

  • I love the low fstop and the beautiful bokeh that this lens can create.
  • All wonderful walk-around lenses for sure and all have pluses and minuses, mostly lots of distortion, viginetting, lousy bokeh, softness in the edges anywhere near wide open.
  • Best lens or there for all around shooting, fast, great at low light, and soft bokeh
  • It's really fast and creates great bokeh which I wasn't able to get with my other lens.
  • The Bokeh is stunning and at this price point I can't find a single reason not to pick one up

Reviews around mm (4.36 of 5)

  • I do prefer my 50mm to the 35mm so if you can only buy one, get the 50mm
  • After using the 50mm for a while, the 35mm feels like a nice addition
  • most of the time I'm finding myself too close to the subject and need to back up so if they made a cheaper 28mm i think that would be ideal
  • , if you are looking for a lens that feels like a great old 35mm with great Depth of field from Low Aperture than this is it, I'm sure the 50mm f1.8 and f1.4 work very similar, so for the price I'm sure either of the three will be a great buy, I know this one was
  • Sometimes a 50mm is still too much, that's why this 35mm does the trick; especially in the tight areas of China Town in San Francisco during the Chinese new year festival!

Reviews around lense (4.15 of 5)

  • Second: This lens has no vibration reduction like slightly more-expensive Nikon lenses.
  • Way more than I ever manage with my other, more expensive zoom lenses
  • One of the cheapest and good portrait lenses in the market
  • Amazingly sharp pictures and one of the greatest prime lenses to have
  • It's not one of those high end uber expensive lenses but it produces images like those lenses.

Reviews around light (3.86 of 5)

  • Another lens to consider would be the AF-S 40 mm f/2.8 macro - this is a slightly less wide focal length but is sharp from f/2.8 and has the advantage that you can get very, very close to subjects for genuine macro shots, so it gives you another feature if you don't mind losing a little light
  • Another possibility to the above logic is that I am using continuous lighting as opposed to strobes
  • Also, when shooting outside, watch out for dappled/uneven light, as this lens might not handle it very nicely
  • Great low light and the 35mm works out to be about the same as the old 55mm normal lens
  • I find that I zoom with my feet more now as this lens gives me great light

Reviews around focus (3.72 of 5)

  • Very sharp lens, but it has an abnormally loud focusing motor
  • I'm no professional but theses images are very sharp and it has a very fast focus
  • It's the only lens I have that has a focus ring which I love
  • Fast and accurate focus, light weight and excellent optics.
  • This lens works extremely well and I only missed focus a couple of times out of 100+ shots

Reviews around background blur (2.52 of 5)

  • f/1.8G is great for low light performance; I can keep the ISO and extract more detail in my pictures
  • I use mainly for wedding, portrait and casual shooting on my Nikkon D 7100 and so far, so good
  • The background blur, and the sharpness of my image is fantastic.
  • Great quality and great 'background blur' in portrait photographs.
  • I will attach an image shot wide open (ie at f/1.8) so you can see, but it does produce some very nice background blur

Reviews around area (2.23 of 5)

  • I would prefer a 28mm or 18mm, but to get a Nikon brand f/1.8 in either of those would have been several times the price of this one.
  • This and a hot shoe for darker areas will triple you pics!
  • Bokeh for images looks greatCons (both of these may have more to do with the body than the lens, but I do not have these issues with my other lenses:Auto focus is finicky and will sometimes focus on odd areas of the shotIn certain instances auto focus can take a really long time or not work at all and will require trying to focus multiple times before I can take the shot.
  • It doesn't give you that much more area within the image, but it worked for me
  • I needed this lens mainly to accommodate the space limitations that I have as well as for the speed when shooting in natural light

Reviews around feel (2.09 of 5)

  • It's a great f/1.8 lens for my camera and focuses very fast in low light.
  • The 1.8 f/s is amazing with low light and makes it for most of panoramic pictures.
  • Slightly cheap feel, but for the price of the lense I was expecting that
  • is the very cheap feeling construction and the stuttery focus ring
  • The pictures are sharp and with the f/1.8 available, you can play games with depth of field that can add a new dimension to your photographs.
