Review Summary
2023-12-29T17:48:37
I bought this lens to have a prime (other than the AF-S 40mm macro, which is f2.8) to use for low light work and portraits. It's not as sharp as the old Nikon glass was at this same focal length, but so far it has performed just fine.

If you're using an APS-C (DX) Nikon camera body, look no further. This lens will do 90+% of all the shots you'll ever take. It's small, light, and cheap brand new. Just get it.

Outstanding lens. Auto-focus works well while I am getting used to the manual focus on the lens. For the price, you can't beat it. The f/1.8 setting also came in handy with my astrophotography photos.

Just received my Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX NIKKOR Lens for my D3500 and are very satisfied with the lens. The Auto-focus helps out while I get used to the manual focus. Auto-focus is sharp. It's a great lens for the price. Still have to test the F/1.8 on low light photos, but looking forward to it.

This is my first prime lens and I'm very pleased with it! Very versatile from low light indoors to landscape photos. Fast focus and quick shutter speed. This is quickly becoming my go-to lens!

This is an excellent lens. Focus snaps lightning fast silently. Great for low light, hand-held photos of indoor Christmas decorations. Light & compact. Round out my lens system for my Nikon D500.

I rediscovered the joy of photograhpy after using this great lense. My AF-S Nikkor 18-300mm super-zoom is my workhorse lense because it can do it all, but this lightweight 35mm Nikkor lense is the one I pop on to concentrate on composition and depth of field shots, especially close-ups of flowers, people, and nature. Put on this lense and put a smile back on your face.

Great value for $179.00. Lightweight 52.5mm equivalent in 35mm. I'm glad I purchased mine before Nikon discontinues this lens.

The 35 fast all purpose lens. This is my normal lens. It is sharp, fast and light weight.
CHERRY C.

This is what is called a normal lens, super fast and dirt cheap and very light with wonderful bokeh. Coupled with a D7500 in which you actually look through the lens and not at a video screen, it?s a delight to use, brings you back to the basics of photography. So what if it's plastic ; it's light and works perfectly. For added pleasure ditch auto focus and focus manually like the original slr?s. Highly recommended.

After using zoom lenses for years, I made the purchase of this prime lens after seeing amazing photos online. While not yet experienced with this lens, my first few captures were fantastic. Especially at the price point, you simply can't go wrong. It will definitely be heavily used.

This lens is SHARP! Right out of the box I noticed the sharp quality in my photos, not to mention the bokeh. Wish I would have purchased the lens earlier, but it never too late. Shooting the stars ... it pulls the stars right in, and multiple shots is not required. It definitely a keeper!

My Nikon D7200 "bundle" only included two zoom lenses, I didn't have a good lens with low F-stop for night or low light conditions. This standard fixed lens solves it.

What an incredible prime lens! You can't go wrong with it! Beautiful blurred background, sharp images, and a solid metal mounting plate. Honest -- I already have the two "kit" lenses that came with my D3500 (the small 18-55mm zoom, and the larger 70-300mm zoom), but this 35mm f/1.8G lens practically LIVES on my D3500!

A great value lens that is very versatile. It is small and makes a better, more flexible solution than carrying around a less powerful or flexible compact camera

Great Prime Lens for a Bargain Price!
By Suneil M.
An excellent addition to the new line of Nikon Primes, this 35 1.8G (DX only) lens has been a welcome surprise at a bargain price. I recently purchased the 50mm 1.4G and was hesitant to purchases another prime, but was pleasantly surprised given the extra "landscape" I got with the + 15mm (this lens is ~53mm on your DX body). Comparing the two, the autofocus is VERY FAST (slightly faster than the 50mm 1.4G), the bokeh beautiful (not perfect), and build excellent (almost as good as the 50mm 1...

I have 50mm 1.4 ,50mm 1.8 for FF , and 35mm 1.8 DX for my nikon D300 . it's very well done , thanks NIKON .
Why settle for anything less than exceptional when capturing life's moments The AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G lens is a prime example of Nikon's dedication to high-quality, reliable, and innovative optics. This lens is a game-changer for both budding and experienced photographers, offering the classic 50mm focal length perspective (52mm FX-format equivalent) on DX-format DSLR cameras. Its fixed focal length and fast f/1.8 aperture not only ensure superb image quality but also open up a world of creative possibilities, allowing you to capture images with a natural field of view and beautifully blurred backgrounds.
Crafted for versatility, the 35mm f/1.8G is perfect for a wide array of photography genres, from intimate portraits and expansive landscapes to the dynamic hustle of street photography. Its wide aperture excels in low-light conditions, enabling you to shoot stunningly clear images even when the lighting isn't ideal. The lens's ability to isolate subjects from their surroundings with a shallow depth of field will make your photos stand out with a professional touch.
The lens's construction is a testament to Nikon's more than 75 years of optical expertise, featuring eight elements in six groups, including one aspherical element to minimize size and weight while maximizing image quality. This thoughtful design ensures a balanced feel when mounted on your camera, making it an ideal travel companion that won't weigh you down.
Autofocus is swift and silent, thanks to the integration of Nikon's ultra-compact Silent Wave Motor (SWM), ensuring that your subjects are captured with precision without the distraction of noise. The close focusing distance of just 0.98 feet adds to the lens's flexibility, allowing you to get nearer to your subjects for detailed shots.
Bokeh is rendered beautifully, with a rounded diaphragm and seven-blade aperture creating a more natural and aesthetically pleasing out-of-focus effect. Nikon's exclusive Super Integrated Coatings are applied to combat lens flare and chromatic aberration, ensuring each photo has true-to-life colors and sharpness.
In summary, the AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G lens is a durable, high-quality, and versatile choice for photographers who demand excellence from their equipment. Whether you're documenting everyday life or exploring new creative avenues, this lens is designed to help you achieve crisp, vivid, and striking images that reflect your unique vision.
