The AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G optical design allows a
different look and feel to images taken with zoom lenses, and its dimensions
are ideal for discrete snapshots and landscape shooting with a picture angle
that approximates that of the human eye. With its rounded seven-blade
diaphragm opening, out-of-focus elements appear more natural. When mounted on
a DX-format SLR, the picture angle is the 35mm equivalent focal length of
50mm.what's in the box: Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G DX Lens, HB-46 Bayonet

f/1.8G AF-S DX Lens: Highly Recommended byThe AF-S Nikkor 35mm
F1.8G DX is a lens which certainly caused a degree of dismay on its release,
with many Nikon fans disappointed by the decision to make it compatible with
the DX format only. However the main benefit of that decision is plain for all
to see - even at its introductory price the lens costs rather less than the
venerable AF-Nikkor 35mm F2.0D, despite the addition of an AF-S motor to allow
autofocusing on Nikon's entry-level D40 / D40X / D60 bodies. It's also less
than half the price of the few other DX format standard primes currently on
the market (such as the Pentax 35mm F2.8 Macro, Tokina 35mm F2.8 Macro and
Sigma 30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM), so Nikon has managed with this lens to produce the
first genuinely inexpensive (sub-$200) fast standard prime designed
specifically for digital SLRs. Within this context, the lens's performance is
very impressive. It produces finely detailed images at all apertures (although
with somewhat low contrast wide open), focuses quickly and accurately, and
handles well in a small, light package. In particular, it's much sharper than
typical DX standard zooms such as the Nikon AF-S 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 DX VR or
Nikon AF-S 18-200mm F3.5-5.6 DX VR. The fast maximum aperture allows pictures
to be taken hand-held in low light levels, while maintaining relatively fast
shutter speeds to avoid blur from subject motion (a key advantage over image-
stabilised, but slow, kit zooms when photographing people without flash
indoors). The slightly less tangible aspects of image quality - such as
resistance to flare, and the rendition of out-of-focus regions of the frame -
are also dealt with nicely. If the lens has one major flaw, it is a certain
propensity to show chromatic aberration, of both the lateral kind (which can
be corrected by the in-camera JPEG processing of the D90 and D300), and the
longitudinal (which cannot). To be fair the latter is a pretty well
unavoidable with a fast prime, but the 35mm F1.8G DX suffers from it to a
rather high degree, and in particular can give some unpleasant purple fringing
effects if you're not careful. Overall, though, it seems almost churlish to
complain about these flaws in a lens so inexpensive, which gives otherwise
such fine results. It's good to see Nikon finally addressing the lack of
purpose-designed, inexpensive fast primes for DX format DSLRs, and we hope
they - and other companies - continue with this trend. As it is the 35mm F1.8G
DX is, for its winning combination of high image quality, large maximum
aperture and low price, a lens which deserves to be on many a Nikon shooter's
shopping list. Read more atSee more
