If you bought an SLR before the Nineties it wouldn't have come with a kit zoom, but a ‘standard' lens of around 50mm with a fast maximum aperture of f1.8 or thereabouts instead.

Slightly better cameras but otherwise, not much of an update - buy the iPhone 14 Pro or switch to Android instead

Better low-light photography, Slightly longer battery life, Action mode gives super stabilised video

The same performance as the iPhone 13, No Dynamic Island or Always-On display, 60Hz screen

While I hope to create a full Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Lens, my first priority is to include results from this lens in the lens comparison tools available on the site.

The first DX Nikkor with the classic advantages of a high-speed "normal" lens ($220, street), this 52mm full-frame equivalent is also the fastest DX and widest nonfisheye digital-only Nikkor prime.

This brand new compact wide angle lens from Nikon costs around ￡470 and sports a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture and silent, internal focusing with full time manual focus override. Is it good enough to be considered as a cheaper alternative to Nikon's highly regarded 35mm f/1.4G lens?

I\'ve tried a few copies and this lens can\'t convince me. I\'m using a AF-p 18-55 now over a year, which is sharper. AF speed is much faster en tag on always. I tried this lens as a low light indoor but the combination 18-55 + bounce flash still is better.

1.8 aperture (of course) Size and weight

AF accuracy unreliable AF speed quite slow Not as sharp as many say (my opinion) Focus shift (spherical abberation) when using close focus point

Nov 12th. The Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G lens is a fast fixed focal length lens designed for use with Nikon DX format SLR cameras. When attached to a Nikon digital SLR camera with a DX size sensor, the lens offers the approximate equivalent of a 50mm field of view in 35mm (full frame) terms.

I bought this lens quite a while back, for my V1, and it has been a delight, from the very first day. Sharp, light, and compact, what more could you ask for?! On my V1 it became a fast portrait lens, first and foremost, while on the D3200 it became my kit lens, always on it.

Sharp as a needle; nice focusing speed; low cost; low weight

No weather-sealing

The Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm F/1.8G is a new prime lens (meaning it has a fixed focal length of 35mm) from Nikon that has a few nice features. Most exciting is the speed of this lens – f/1.8 – that's fast enough for many low light situations (it is the widest aperture DX-series lens available).
