If you're a Nikon shooter looking to buy a prime lens or two, you have lots of affordable options these days. The company recently refreshed its entire lineup of primes, and now offers G-series lenses in 20mm f/1.8, 28mm f/1.8, 35mm f/1.8, 50mm f/1.8, and 85mm f/1.8 flavors.

It's not quite as sharp as the $1,800 35mm f/1.4G, but it's darn close for $600.

Before purchasing I researched some great reviews below: http://www.dpreview.com/lensreviews/nikon_35_1p8g_n15/3 http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/35mm-f18.htm https://youtu.be/7vDIQw_WxZY I am thoroughly impressed and excited to own this lens!

For it's size, weight and price, those shooting on APS-C Nikon DSLR's should be carrying one of these lenses along with them in their kit. For it's size and weight it produces fantastic image results and is relatively inexpensive as well.

I've been using this lens for studio shoots with models and have been amazed by the results. Using this lens makes the camera lightweight and easy to handle. The resulting pictures are bright and sharp. Each time I zoom in on the computer full size and the images remain sharp with all the detail.

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight; Quick Focus; Sharp Focus

I use this lens a lot for flowers and it produces photos that I am rather proud of, the 1 and ONLY thing I don't like is the focus ring, I shoot a lot in manual and it feels like a very cheap build and it could break at any moment, but this is its only fault.

Easy to use; Compact

Build quality

this lens has exceeded my expectations. a devout lover of fast primes, i am deeply impressed with the quality of this item and the quality of images it helps me to create with my cameras sensors.

This was a Christmas gift for my daughter who is in a secondary school taking photography. She asked for this lens specifically and was surprised to actually see it over the holidays! She loves it.

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Lightweight; Rugged; Strong Construction

If it's Bokeh you're after, take a look at the 50mm instead. Better for portraits on an APS-C/DX body too.

A fine lens; Small, light and FAST

Avoid Always.Deals; They advertise as having the full five year Nikon warranty but ship grey market imports with ZERO warranty

This lens is amazingly great for the price. The quality of images really stands out with the large aperture. I went to take up close pictures with this and you can see the details of each and every object. It is especially great for low light situations and indoor shots.
