Good lens
This lens can produce great images if focus is taken care of which can be difficult especially when the lens is wide open. I found the only reliable way to focus the lens was to switch my D7000 to live view and focus manually with maximum magnification. I found that the optical viewfinder >o< dot unfortunately cannot produce any reliable result due to the fact that this lens is very sharp and sensitive to focus distance and there is always fine tune offset/difference in distance between the focus distance to optical viewfinder vs. actual sensor. When I use live view, the images are always sharp. This lens is more suited for static objects, landscape due to the manual focus only.

A great 35mm f/1.4 lens at this price!
This is a great 35mm f/1.4 lens. It performs better than some much more expensive ones. The only thing you need to pay attention to is focusing. The lens may focus a bit further (or closer) on your camera. You'd better use it on a camera with advanced electronic focusing indicator, with ">oo" shows rather than usually the green dot "o". But considering the price is 1/3 of a Nikon 35mm f/1.4, I can accept this little inconvenience.
