I hesitated over buying this or the Nikon 24mm f/1.4, but in the end went for the 35mm as I thought I'd get more use out of it. The 35mm is a great compromise between the 50mm, which I typically find to narrow, and the 24mm, which can often be too wide.

Really enjoy using this lens, great pictures and the distortion hasn't been bad at all.

sharpness; wide angle

possible distortion at corners

I think this lens is one of the best lens that Nikon has ever come out with , you can use it indoor with or without flash , out doors and for every type of photography. This is the best lens you can ever buy.

i purchased this lens to use doing Street Photography because it's less obtrusive than a 24-70. I have not regretted that decision. The sharpness and Bokeh are phenomenal and coupled with to 800E's resolution make this easily one of the best lenses Nikon has ever made.

Tact sharp and has excellent micro contrast. Definitely has better focus compared to 50mm f1.4G and 85mm f1.4G. Ive noticed CA in the highlights and minimal barrel distortion but not a big deal since it be corrected easy post.

Durable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Lightweight; Nice Bokeh

I'm thrilled with this lens. This lens is a workhorse. It's on my camera 90% of the time. I'm a portrait and wedding photographer and this lens is a must-have. The autofocus is fast, the colors are rich, and the bokeh is gorgeous from f1.4-f2.2. It's pricey but it's worth it.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Before I start to review this lens, I would like to reveal a little about my photography background. I shoot Nikon, Canon and Fuji... I know most of the reviews on this lens are quite good. That's only because this is one of the best 35mm lens Nikon knows how to make.

I bought this lens to complement the Nikon 85mm 1.4G on a D700. I wanted a wide-angle lens that wouldn't suck out the corners like 24mm and wider lenses do. I use it mostly to make photographs of my friends and family.

Fast / accurate auto-focus; Nice Bokeh; Strong Construction

Two comments. Great service and pricing from Crutchfield. Crutchfield follow and assistance to question and help is great. The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.4 lens is a very sharp lens. Colors are great.

Sharp, clear and solid; Great FX lens for landscape/scenic; Great for travel street shots

little heavy; however not so much that you don't get used to it
