Nearly as versatile as a prime lens can be, the AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G from Nikon is a 52.5mm-equivalent lens for DX-format cameras, and is characterized by its sleek form factor, normal field of view, and bright f/1.8 maximum aperture. The fast design of the lens suits working in difficult lighting conditions and also enables improved control over depth of field for isolating subjects and working with selective focus techniques. The optical design incorporates one aspherical element, which helps to control distortion and spherical aberrations in order to produce notable sharpness and clarity. A Super Integrated Coating has also been applied to individual elements and controls lens flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color accuracy when working in bright and backlit conditions. Complementing the optics is a Silent Wave Motor, which enables fast, near-silent autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override, to benefit both stills and video recording.

Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Reviews
Sam
This is a very good portrait lens.
Nice to have a fast lens
I am an occasional shooter and have been using an 18-200mm zoom for everything. I wanted a lens for low light situations and this one is great. The price is reasonable and the performance was just what I wanted. There's a big difference between F1.8 and F4.8 which is what I get from my zoom. My only wish is that the lens was wider (maybe 20 or 25mm).
Nice lens
Needed a prime lens without having to spend a ton. This works well .
Five stars!
Love my new lens and love working with the folks at B&H. They're knowledgeable, prompt in answering your questions, and have very fair prices. There's no better place to shop.
Works for me
This is my 2nd prime after the AF 50mm f/1.8D and between the two of them I've stopped using the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR kit lens. The 50mm was too narrow a field of view on the D5600 to be comfortable taking photos indoors. This 35mm is just wide enough for indoor use. The autofocus is fast, quite and accurate enough for my use. Wish they made a 24mm prime in the same price range.
Great lens
Light weight, fast glass. One of my go-to lenses.
Beautiful photos
I'm using this with a D500 and UV filter, and the photos come out great. The depth of field really makes a difference when taking portraits, the photos look very professional.
One of my go-to's!
Great lens and is one of my top go-to's for video!
