Nikon 35mm f/1.8G ED AF-S Nikkor User Reviews
-
Very sharp stopped down just a bit, but plenty sharp wide open. Sharpness at f/5.6 and f/8 is excellent and all you could ask for. Fast and silent focusing, compact and light weight.58mm filter size (not really a big deal as the Nikkor 50mm G lenses are that size too). Some fall-off when wide open corrected in-camera or in post.
35mm is a focal length I didn't find myself using frequently, but I now often find myself keeping this lens on the camera vs. a 50mm. I'm always impressed with the image quality and this encourages me to use it more. It is super-sharp and if you get caught having it mounted when you really needed a 50mm, you can likely crop your way out of the situation. :-)

Priced much lower than the 35mm f/1.4 and at least its equal in image quality! I sold my AF Nikkor 35mm f/2D when I got this 1.8G. -
Compact, lightweight, sharp, contrasty, fast, silent, acurate
It's sharper and it has better contrast than the AF 35mm f/2D. I'm not sure if it's as good as the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art, but it's definitively more compact and lightweight. I like how this lens handles/feels on a Nikon camera body. Ergonomics are great.

Sharpness, color, and contrast are very good. This lens renders like my other AF-S lenses (28mm f/1.8, 50mm f/1.8 and 85mm f/1.8). When you look in the corners at 100% magnification on your high resolution screen, you'll find softness wide open, but when you stop down it gets sharper. CA is very low and the lens doesn't flare easily. Autofocus is reasonably fast, silent and very accurate.
If you are looking for a compact and lightweight walk around lens, this is a very nice option. I think it's a good upgrade from the older AF-D version and it's so much more comfortable to carry around than the large, heavy and expensive f/1.4 alternatives from Nikon and Sigma. -
Perfectly sharp, light, fast!quite bigger (1cm) than 35 f2
I took this lens with a bit of skepticism since it costs 550 € and having already the Sigma 35 1.4 and the lightest 35 f2.

To my great surprise, not only the quality is equal to sigma (both 1.8 to f11) but it is also much more lightweight (200 grams) and more small! Immediately sold the sigma, held this wonder that is worth all the money I spent! It focuses also very close to getting a wonderful bokeh with fast Af (tested on d90-d700-d800) the only drawback maybe is the plasticky material but the feeling is a perfect balance! A + + +
