After Nikon introduced the super lightweight and inexpensive Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G lens for DX cameras, many Nikon shooters started requesting a similar lens for full-frame cameras.

Most people new to SLR photography will choose a zoom lens or a telephoto as their first lens, but there's a lot to be said about prime lenses - crisp and sharp images, depth of field effects, and portability.

Small and compact prime lens; ideal for beginners; Includes AF motor for entry-level cameras; Excellent bokeh and sharpness

Chromatic aberration present at wide apertures; Noticeable barrel distortion

More like an iPhone 13S. The generational upgrades for the iPhone 14 are limited to a few subtle changes. At the same time, however, the base price climbs to 800 USD, while the only true innovation happens inside the iPhone 14 Pro series.

excellent OLED display, dust- and waterproof, fast Wi-Fi, wide range of supported frequencies, great camera, very fast performance, good battery life

display limited to 60 Hz, charging rate limited to 20 watts, no macro lens, wide notch

The iPhone 14 is better than its predecessor, but it's also more expensive and doesn't have many significant upgrades.

Even faster, with a better camera and more features.

Charger is optional. Lacks telephoto lens. Price has been increased.

The picture below illustrates the angle of view (click here for comparisons with the Nikon 50mm F1.4D):

Excellent image quality when stopped down just a little; Fast and accurate autofocus with full-time manual override; Generally attractive rendition of out-of-focus regions ('bokeh'; Resistant to flare; Low price

Slightly soft and low in contrast wide open; Lateral chromatic aberration somewhat higher than traditional 50mm 'standard' primes; Prone to purple fringing and bokeh chromatic aberration; most visible at large apertures

Nikon has no less than three 35mm prime lenses in its lens range and as well as the f/1.8 model we're testing, there's the older 35mm f/2D AF and the professional 35mm f/1.4G AF-S which costs a fraction under £1390.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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

Slow Focus

The 35mm format provides natural "human eye" perspective for Nikon DX cameras. This could be the only lens you need for most photo situations.

Good value Fast auto focus Manual focus ring always active

Sharp DOF focus transitions in close-ups

Great value for money - good quality photos, even in low-light conditions. Works well for portraits and general street photography. Would recommend if you're looking for a lens with a larger aperture than the Nikon kit lenses, but don't want to blow your budget.
