This lens is known for being the best in its class for counteracting chromatic aberrations (you can look this up if you don't know what it means). The lens is made of great sharp glass which ensures that we get sharp, beautiful and color contrasting photos. The 35mm therefore offers an excellent middle ground. Quite difficult with a 50 or 85mm, since you get too little in the photo. Imagine, on holiday in Barcelona you want to photograph the beautiful tapas restaurants by the sea in the dark. The lens can be used very well for both portrait photography (on DX format of course) as all-round evening scenes shooting. With about 2 years of experience I now know the ins and outs of this lens and so far I can say that I like it very much!
I am already an experienced user with the 35mm f/1.8G lens. Also two photos to show the difference in depth effect. The photos below show the difference between F1.8 on the 35mm and F4.5 on the 18-105 kit lens set at 35mm. There is no better lens in the price range. My conclusion: a good bright lens that delivers excellent quality for its price. However, this disappears from F2.2 and above and is completely gone from F2.8. At F1.8 there is also discoloration in high contrast photos. At F2.8, the photos are very sharp overall. At F1.8 there is minimal loss of sharpness, but hardly noticeable. The quality of the photos taken with this lens is high, even when shooting at F1.8. In order to prevent loss of quality, you often choose either the B+W MRC filters or the Carl Zeiss filters. For both reasons, it is recommended to use a UV filter. Due to the small size, there is also no protection against bumping the lens against walls, tables, etc. The supplied lens hood is not very large, so there is not much effect on preventing flaring. The ring is wide enough to prevent you from bumping the hood so that people with larger hands can also use this small lens. The focus ring feels a bit stiff and has a range of about 100 degrees. (This is only possible when the camera has an AF motor built in).
If the lens itself cannot find a point to focus, you can do this manually by either setting the lens to the M position or by setting the position to M on the camera body. The lens focuses quickly, even in low-light situations. I personally never use the supplied cloth holder for the lens, but it can be useful when the lens is not being transported in a camera bag. The rubber sealing ring ensures that less dust can get into the camera. At the back of the lens, the choice was made to make the mount from metal instead of plastic. When you hold the lens in your hand, it feels good. I've been using this lens for three days now and I really like it. Due to the DX format sensor of my D90, this 35mm lens corresponds to a 52mm lens on an FX body. After looking at different lenses, I opted for the Nikon 35mm F1.8G. The lens was also not allowed to cost too much due to a limited budget.
The requirements were that the lens had a good quality housing and had to take sharp pictures. I bought this lens because I wanted a 'fast' prime lens.
