Nikon 35mm AF-S DX lens Once upon a time in the days of film ALL film SLR cameras came with a “fast” 50mm lens – usually f1.8 ( or more rarely f1.4) giving the same angle of view as human vision. Wide aperture allowed slower, sharper film and the ability to focus closely and provide shallow “depth of focus” to highlight the subject. Zoom lenses were expensive and less sharp than “prime” or single focal length lenses. Most modern digital (D)SLR’s now come with excellent zooms but only moderate apertures across the zoom range ( except for megabucks f2.8 professional lenses) Whilst the zoom lens gives great flexibility in framing a subject it is easy to become sloppy by not moving to fill the frame with this human vision perspective. This “standard” perspective lens makes you think more about your compositions (but also works well as simple point and shoots) This 35mm (52.5mm equivalent on a DX sensor like my Nikon D3100/D5100 – or modern equivalents) dual type autofocus lens is a total cracker .Very lightweight (yet sturdy) it is nice to get back to a “standard” lens again. Even better, when creating movies (or getting “differential focus on stills), this fast lens allows both a shallow focus and enhances the sensitivity of the camera at full aperture at lower. ISO values (reducing electronic noise).It also covers a full aperture range from f1.8 – f22 The f1.8 speed allows many photographs to be taken indoors (or dull outdoors) without flash. - Or video without additional lighting. The standard 18-55mm zoom lens is only f4 at the 35mm DX ( 50mm standard) so there is at least 2 stops gain and a corresponding reduction in shutter speed with this prime lens - i.e. faster shutter speeds can be used and sharper pictures result. The ability to tweak the manual focus whilst still in auto is great as any off centre subject missed by the auto focussing can be rapidly corrected The lens takes a 52mm diameter filter – either as protection, minor colour correction or effect filters. Relatively cheap close up lenses also seem to work extremely well giving a genuine super macro lens with minimal softness at the edges of the image NOTE – you could get the cheaper non DX, manual focus f1.8 Nikkor but this will be 75mm equivalent (and possibly of interest as a portrait lens although a 105mm prime lens is usually used for this.)

Bra för sitt pris, enkelt att ta fina bilder i vardagsmiljöer.

Voulant s'entraîner avec objectif fixe pour portrait et prise en faible luminosité c'est un bon achat au vu de son prix.

A compra foi ótima. A lente é sensacional! Como tudo o que a Nikon faz. A relação com o vendedor foi perfeita. Entrega e segurança nota 10.

What a great price for a fast, prime lens that you'll use every day. I'm a nube to photography (good photography) and have caught the bug. I've got a Nikon D5200 and primarily take pictures of family and kids sporting events. The big zoom goes to the soccer games with us, but for almost everything else I use this little gem. With a max aperture of 1.8 you'll rarely need a flash for most of life's events indoors or out. The sharpness of the pictures I've taken with this is so good that you can really crop something down if you want to "zoom" in using Photoshop or Aperture with no graininess or degredation. At the risk of embarrassing myself to the more savvy photo enthusiasts I will try and explain why this and not the 18-55mm kit lens that you got with your camera. No it doesn't zoom (that's the prime lens part), but you'll find yourself in the 35mm range on that 18-55mm lens most times anyway. They say a 35mm lens is most representative of what the eye sees anyway. What it does do is let in a lot of light, a lot more than the kit lens does. This gives you a couple benefits first of which is speed (the fast lens or fast glass part) which means less blur on things moving and stationary. It also means that you can dial down your ISO settings. Higher ISO settings tend to add noise to the picture which gives you that pixelated look when you zoom in and crop a picture. Thirdly is something us point-and-shooters have never gotten to appreciate called depth of field. This lens will let you take those great looking photos where your subject is in perfect focus and the background is pleasantly blurred drawing your attention to what you intended the view to see. You can adjust your aperture setting to have a deep depth of field where everything is in focus, but you'll need a fast lens like the 1.8 to get a really striking shallow depth of field photo like the pros. For under $200 (maybe under $100 if you get a good price for your kit lens on Ebay), this is the single best thing you can buy to take great photos. You can pay more money for better cameras with larger sensors and more bells and whistles, but so far it appears to me that you're better off taking pictures with a great lens on a good camera, than a good lens on a great camera.
