Nikon Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm F1.8G

Rating 4.7 95 reviews

The Nikon Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm f1.8 G offers outstanding images that come from a prime lens. This lens has a lot to offer when it comes to low-light shooting and creating softly blurred backgrounds. There is a normal view, which provides everything you need. If you need a high quality lens, the Nikon Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm f1.8 G should be at the top of your list.


Plus, you can isolate your subject for a dramatic effect. The key to creating outstanding photos is using a lens with a wide maximum aperture. This lens offers an aperture of f/1.8, which results in complete depth-of-field control for filming your subject and creating outstanding portraits.


The Nikon Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm f1.8 G does an excellent job under low light performance. The aperture does more than create outstanding backgrounds. It also improves the quality of photos when there is not a lot of light. With the Nikon Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm f1.8 G, you will be able to take photos under different conditions with natural light both inside and outside.


The AF-S NIKKOR lens offers Nikon's Silent Wave Motor. This is one of the latest developments in AF lens technology. It features an Aspherical lens element. The best part is that it take advantage of non-spherical surfaces, which helps to reduce lens aberration.


This lens has a focusing mode which provides an outstanding option to change from automatic to manual focus. There is almost no lag time.


The Nikon Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm f1.8 G features eight elements in six groups. This lens differs from the 50mm standard prime. The focal length is shorter than the flange distance from the lens mount to the imager. As a result, you will need a 'retrofocal' design.


Anyone looking for a lens that produces high quality photos will love the Nikon Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm f1.8 G. The lens helps to deliver high quality photos, even when there is limited lighting. The Nikon Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm f1.8 G is compact and offers outstanding picture quality. The ring type SWM has a lot to offer. The front element and filter mount do not rotate and the length of the barrel does not change.

Nikon AFSDX Nikkor 35MM F1.8G Lens AFSDX35 review

The 35mm ƒ/1.8G DX fills an obvious hole in Nikon's lineup, and with its very reasonable price point Nikon may have found a way to ride out the recession. In our tests, the lens performs very well, with good results for sharpness at ƒ/1.8, becoming excellent at ƒ/2.8.

Nikon AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8G

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.

Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm F/1.8G

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).

REVIEW: Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G Lens Review

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?

Nikon AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8G Lens Review

As I indicated at the beginning of this review, I am probably a little biased in favor of prime lenses when it comes to photography. Until someone discovers a way to make an affordable zoom lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.4 there will always be a place for prime lenses.

Nikon 35mm f/1.8G DX AF-S Nikkor review by Tord

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.
Pros:
  • Sharp as a needle
  • nice focusing speed
  • low cost
  • low weight
Cons:
  • No weather-sealing

Nikon 35mm f/1.8G DX AF-S Nikkor

A small, fast and sharp prime f??r $200 or less you can't go wrong. There are better performing lenses out there, but they are all larger and more expensive. The only reason I traded away this lens is the focal length. IMHO, 35 mm is too short for portraits and too long for most other situations.
Pros:
  • small
  • light
  • sharp
  • affordable
Cons:
  • no weather seal
  • focal length a bit too long
