 Very happy - haven't taken it off my D40 since I bought it. March 11, 2010
C. J. Swartz (Arizona, USA)
I'm a lifelong photo hobbyist, but not one who understands the technical part of lens reviews - there are some of those available here and elsewhere on the net anyway. I have the Nikon D40, and wanted a fast lens to complement my two kit zoom lens (18-55m and 55-200mm VR). Read good reviews about this lens and liked the price, so saved some pennies and bought it for myself for Christmas. I generally have preferred using a telephoto lens for big views of long-range subjects, but started taking close-up shots inside my home (cats, still life, working up to portraits of people) and found that I loved the large sharp images possible with this lens. Most of us love getting the subject in focus and blurring the background, and that's easy to do with this lens. I worried about whether I would enjoy using a lens at this focal length, but found that I haven't taken it off my camera once since I put it on. With the higher ISO ranges available in recent cameras plus this fast lens, there will be many more available light shots possible. It's not perfect, according to people who know how to measure distortion etc., but I don't need perfect -- I need a good, fast, sharp-focusing lens that doesn't make me cringe when I read the credit card bill for the next 6 months, and this lens meets my needs. It may meet yours also - the equipment is well made and works well -- the only question is whether it is the focal-length and speed that you happen to need.
 A mixed bag for a sub $200 lens March 10, 2010
Book Fan (Virginia)
I purchased this lens without doing a lot of research since Nikon typically puts out good lens & primes are typically worry-free when it comes to barrel distortion and similar concerns due to their 'fixed' nature. I also have the 50mm f1.8 which performs marvelously, so I assumed the 35mm would as well. This is where I was wrong. The 35mm f1.8's lens barrel distortion is one of the worst [...]. The other metrics did not make for a great lens as well. If you don't read Ken Rockwell, start. He lists the pros and cons for this sub $200 lens at [...]. Therefore, be sure to do your research and understand where this lens exceeds and fails. Yes, Capture NX2 can automatically correct the distortion...however, the excessive degree of distortion was disappointing so I will try to find a Sigma/Tamron 35mm prime for my D90.
Must have lens the for Nikon DX format cameras March 7, 2010
John Ingraham
This lens is a great normal lens for DX format cameras.
Given that is almost 4 stops better than the 18-55mm kit lens, there is really no need for VR.
Plus the Bokeh (background blur) is excellent for portrait work.
The ability to manually focus the lens even in AF mode is also an attractive feature.
The Autofocus is super quiet and very responsive
Highly recommended!
Amazing buy...warranty exists!! March 5, 2010
Deepanshu Shukla (Singapore, Singapore, SG)
This is an amazing product. Almost a must have. Took this lens with me when i visited my parents and it was the only lens i ever used throughout the holiday. Even night shots are very good. Although as with any prime, you have to walk around for the composition u want.
This product came with 5years US warranty and 1 year international warranty valid at any nikon service center. This important details is missing in the product detail.
Overall very happy with amazon shipping, delivered nicely packed and on time.
Well constructed prime lens March 3, 2010
Nils Lorvick (Farmington, MN USA)
I was going back and forth with the Nikon 50mm f1.8 lens. I ended up with this one, mainly because I have a D5000 that doesn't have the autofocus motor. I was not disappointed with my choice. Since I've gotten the lens, I've rarely taken it off of the camera. There have been some times where the 50mm wouldn't have worked for the shot I was composing.
The image quality is surprising for a lens this inexpensive. The autofocus motor is nice and quiet, and fast.
Anyone looking for a good, inexpensive prime lens for their D40/60/3000/5000, this is for sure the way to go.
