This lens is amazing. I use this lens on my Nikon D850 and the photo quality is absolutely stunning!

It's all that !

I've only had one chance to get out with this new lens, but it did not disappoint. I do some photojournalist work, and I shot a house fire a few days ago. The lens outperformed my expectations in that arena. I can't wait to get it out for some night work to see how it performs. If it lives up to the hype for low light situations. This lens will be my new rock star ! Sharp images, with strong vibrant colors. This is great paired with my D850.

Pretty much the 35mm lens to own for Nikon DSLRs, isn't it? ;) A bit of a beast to carry around size-wise, though, esp. compared to the 50mm f1.4 - but that's why I got the Leica Q2 - for all-day shooting & travel.

this brute is kind of an ugly duckling but wow ! the pics are second to none, , paired with an 850. this lens is built very stoutly, the 1.4 gives thin depth of field at close distances it's hard to describe without seeing the photos !

question

What about a Nikon D5000? Would it work well with this camera??
Asked by: Anonymous
The short answer is yes. More detail? Nikon DSLR cameras come in two basic formats, DX and FX. DX and FX refer to the size of the imaging sensor. The DX sensor is smaller than the FX (full frame) sensor. By the same token, Nikon lenses are intended to be compatible with the different camera sensor sizes, i.e., DX and Non-DX(sometime called FX). DX will appear in the name of the lens. Non-DX(or FX) will not. Your Nikon D5000 is a DX format DSLR camera, which is capable of using both DX and Non-DX lenses. The AF-S Nikkor 35mm1:1.4G is a Non-DX lens, thus compatible with your D5000 DX camera. Actually FX cameras such as Nikon D800 can use a DX lens but the DX crop mode ls automatically selected by the camera causing the use of only the center portion of the FX sensor, causing a reduction in the normally high pixel count of your image. Sometimes that might be helpful to reduce your file size.So There You Go. Have fun with the AF-S Nikkor 35 mm 1:1.4G. With the low f-stop capability you'll get great images in low light even without a flash.
