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

    • Have used it for Landscapes, night photos and even indoors at a poorly lit gym for a volleyball match (got some great shots at 1/640).
    • Highly recommend for crisp, clear shots!
    • The autofocus works great on my DX body and I haven't missed any shots so far, even in low light situations.
    • But this 35mm works great indoor shots
    • I've found that shots are only sharp in the center when it's wide open at 1.8, but like other users, I normally shoot at 2.8 to get get more of the subject in focus.
    • Money well invested, great shots, build quality and performance superb.
    • This lens has helped me capture great shots
    • so you have to move around more, but the great shots are worth the effort
    • Since getting it, it has given me beautiful portrait shots, and close ups on animals and plants
    • I try to stop down to 1.8 on any nice sunny day and get fantastic shots of the kids
    • Amazing shots
    • and i know when i see bad shots photos.i was missing lots off good shots because i did not have a 35mm lens that"s as good as the 35mm f/1.8G AF-s DX lens that i recently purchased from amazon.
    • The shots that I have taken so far with this lens has been super sharp
    • 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
    • and wow I am pleased beautiful shots nice construction quiet
    • I got some fantastic shots at a late evening wedding and even an indoor New Years eve party.
    • You'll need to practice to get nice shots at 1.8 if you are a newbie like me, but when they come out correctly, i feel like a pro.
    • I love it, takes some getting used too but well worth it, great low light shots, quick and more compact.
    • All shots are tripod-free (no tripod), with a B+W 52mm Clear UV Haze filter, and on a D3300 body.
    • Plus the wide aperture allows you do get great nighttime long exposure shots of the stars
    • This lens is very crisp, and just takes amazing shots over the kit lens that came with my camera.
    • Makes me feel more like a photographer framing my shots by putting the camera where it needs to be as opposed to sitting across the room on a bench zooming in
    • so you have to position yourself for the best shots
    • The images I have attached compare the older 50mm 1.8D alongside this lens, as well as the test shots
    • I have a 50mm prime lens that offers great shots, but this 35mm lens offers AWESOME shots!
    • but I got it for available light, indoor shots and was not impressed.
    • This one takes incredibly clear shots, beautiful bokeh - absolutely love it ... and it has changed my approach to photography.
    • As long as you can zoom with your feet, this generates great artistic shots without even trying and has taught me a lot about the value of aperture control in photography
    • Great lens, takes fantastic shots for an amateur, use it way more than the 18-55 VR that comes stock with the D5500.
    • With Auto focus enabled you can get great shots right out of the box
    • but it still takes good shots
    • With such a fast shutter it’s easier to catch the best shots of my constantly moving kids
    • And beimg able to take the f stop down to 1.8 makes for some great low light shots
    • f1.8 is amazing to take some greats shots with blur.
    • The shots were great and I had decent depth of field (a young boy and his dog)
    • Look forward to learning more, and getting more great shots of my kids
    • I'm no expert, and those shots look great thanks to this lens
    • great walk around lens , especially afternoon walks , early low light lens, can shoot it wide open with great results being a 1.8havent used a flash with it yet, inside- outside , make s great shots
    • The f1.8 provides the ability to do some awesome artistic shots, and in general the prime lenses seem to shoot at a higher quality than variable lenses.
    • and i know when i see bad shots photos.i was missing lots off good shots because i did not have a 35mm lens that"s as good as the 35mm f/1.8G AF-s DX lens that i recently purchased from amazon.
    • I am doing, but somehow I was able to get some great shots
    • It is perfect, and gives some of the crispest shots you will take with your D3000/3100/3200/3300, D5000/D5100/D5200/D5300If you have never used a Prime lens, this is some of the best money you will spend, if you are hoping to take lots of family pictures, portrate shots, or up close of the baby.
    • Occasionally, we score some good shots here or there
    • The wide aperture makes it really easy to get sweet bokehlicious shots in low light
    • Image quality is great and you can get some pretty crazy low aperture shots with it
    • If you're still using the kit lens on your nikon as I was, you'll realize the "incredible" shots you got pale in comparison to what you'll get with this little prime beauty
    • Nice wide angle shots and fast
    • I also recommended a tripod for night outdoor shots for even clearer pictures
    • You'll appreciate your shots that much more knowing you had to work a littler harder and get a little closer for them.
    • and some great close up nature shots.
    • You need to walk a lot to frame a prime lens, but the shots will be beautiful
    • If this lens works for your needs, do not hesitate, took nice shots, but I can not afford a ton of equipment and just buy what I need.
    • Makes your shots look like high quality professional shots!
    • The F/1.8 really allows for much better low lighting indoor shots.
    • Low light shots are also very nice with very little noise
    • It takes awesome close up shots for portraits as well as fantastic low light shots
    • Best prime lens I own. takes great shots.
    • Clear shots, worth the price
    • Great shots in low light.
    • but once i switched to the prime lenses, I saw a big improvement in image sharpness, better bokeh, and it allows you to be more creative with the compositions because you have to look for the right angles and move around to get really nice shots
    • Can't wait to have more fun with this lens and looking forward to many beautiful shots with it once I get to know it's full capacity.
    • and I was able to produce amazing shots
    • The word is WOW magnificent clear shots taken with this lens it’s amazing
    • I've done several great shots with 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 didn't feel like the pics I got was worth lugging around compared to a decent compact P&S or smartphone
    • The 1.8 f/s is amazing with low light and makes it for most of panoramic pictures.
    • great walk around lens , especially afternoon walks , early low light lens, can shoot it wide open with great results being a 1.8havent used a flash with it yet, inside- outside , make s great shots
