After using the 50mm for a while, the 35mm feels like a nice addition

But this 35mm works great indoor shots

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

I do prefer my 50mm to the 35mm so if you can only buy one, get the 50mm

We also have the 55mm-200mm & 18mm-55 lenses also great...

The 50 mm only works on my D7000 and my film cameras, it is so awesome for the price

It is the perfect focal length on a cropped sensor body, almost exact to the beloved 50mm on a full frame

It definitely doesnt give as good a background blur as the 50mm and CERTAINLY not as good as the 85mm

At first,I was hesitant about buying the 35mm because I kept reading information about it and the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8g AF-

BUT i feel like my 50mm is quicker and gives me consistently better picture quality

The 35 mm is good when i am shooting in a small room

Lens is amazing - 50mm is slightly crisper, but it is a super tight shot with the 50.

The 35mm 1.8 fixes these issues with its incredible aperture, letting in much more light and making photos sharper and more natural

I debated forever on 35mm or 55mm, The deciding factor was that I have a D5100 and it has a crop factor which makes the 35mm shoot like a 55mm

I find 35 mm is great for a walk around lense

The fact that you can't just zoom in and out makes you use your feet to find the best place to put the camera for a better-composed shot.35mm is equivalent to a "nifty 50mm" on a full-frame camera, since the crop factor means you multiply it by 1.5 to get the full-frame equivalent

I might even venture to say the 50mm seems somewhat sharper.

Since then, I haven't used my trusty 35mm lens once - I always grab the 50mm instead

If you only need to shoot portraits get the 50mm, otherwise get this awesome 35mm.

(I purchased that one as well)This lens isn't quite as good in my opinion as the 50mm but of you don't own a full frame camera it is a necessity as the 50mm means you have to be farther away from your shot which isn't always an

if you're into plant photography, the 40mm with Macro is a little better, but this 35mm still gets pretty close.

The Nikon 35mm is like a Swiss army knife, it's the right tool for many different situations

Loosing a star as focus is not as smooth as 80 mm Lens

The 35mm is great for indoors due to its f/1.8G. Lighting is never an issue with this lens

Looking to add the similar 55mm but love this lens

I still prefer my zoom lens 55-200mm

Second, the 35mm is compact

The 35mm makes indoor portraits much easier, I found the 50mm has too narrow a FOV.For vlogging, set up some good lighting, ASA in the 300s and shoot away.

With the purchase of this relatively inexpensive 35mm 1.8f DX

There were times my 50mm D was too tight in my appartment and after reading all of the reviews that said the 35mm on a crop sensor was really like a 50mm, I went with the 35

The 35mm only works on 3000 up to 7200.

Great low light and the 35mm works out to be about the same as the old 55mm normal lens

I like this lens, but I prefer my Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S NIKKOR FX lens over this one.

LOVE MY 35mm!

35mm is perfect for most situations and this compact lens doesn't make my Nikon bulkier than other lenses

and accuracyMaybe it has something to do with the interaction between the D200 body and the 35mm, or the longer focal length, but the 50mm focuses MUCH faster, MUCH more reliably, and MUCH more accurately

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!

The 35 mm is great.

I have even had them blown upto 24"x36" to great reviews!At the larger apertures, the bokeh is smooth and pleasant - sure, it doesnt knock your socks off like a 85mm, but it is a very good Nifty-50 or wide (35mm).So dont ignore this

I feel like the best advice I've ever gotten is make sure you cover as much range as possible, which makes the 55-200mm a good option to add to your bag first if you're on a budget

I'm not giving this lens 5 stars only because it's not the best 35mm lens out there for Nikon, that honor goes to the Sigma 1.4 which is far heavier and far pricier.

This is a great Lens, I still prefer my 50mm but have enjoyed having this one on hand for wider shots.

has nothing like this in their lineup, it's one of the strengths on the Nikon side, a cheap fast 35mm prime

The older 50mm is just a bit smaller, but I prefer the wider view of the 35mm on my DX camera (D7000 or D40).Someday Nikon will make us a 20mm 1.8 AF-S DX lens for $250 and I'll be the first in line to preorder that lens

I heard 35mm is good for portraits

SharpnessI'm no "pixel peeper," and I haven't used any fancy tests or focusing charts, but the 50mm seems much sharper than the 35mm

It gives me a "just right" 52mm viewing field with this camera, reminding me of the old traditional SLRs I used years ago.

I purchased this lens as my first prime lens for my Nikon D7000 (had been using a Nikon 18-200mm and still have / love it)

, 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

It definitely doesnt give as good a background blur as the 50mm and CERTAINLY not as good as the 85mm

and I don't think it's as attractive as the 50mm

I have a 50mm as well and I use this lenses for portraits

but, I wanted a portrait lens and the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm worked great.

I don't know why the bokeh on this lens isn't as good as the 50mm version.

I had done a lot of research on different kinds of lenses to buy and this 1.8 35mm was highly recommended

this 35 MM is great for low light indoors, fixed length means I have to walk in to zoom, but the action is fast on auto focus.

Low light is really good!- M/A (manual and autofocus) is super helpful

and then when I take a look at the picture I"m like "where in the #&%@ did all that light come from?!?
