Taken a few shots with this lens, it performs just as well as the F1.8 DX 35mm lens. Nice bokeh, mild real-world distortion. Auto focus is reasonably quick compared to other Nikkor lenses e.g. the 70-300mm ED lens. I switched to this lens as I upgraded to FX format and needed an AF lens which was backward compatible with the majority of F-mount cameras. I chose this over the FX 35mm G lens as it still retained the aperture selection ring, something which is essential if you're planning to use it on manual (older) F-mount cameras. Overall I highly recommend this lens for any Nikon DLSR user looking at purchasing a lens for manual use in the long term.

In its various incarnations the Nikon 35mm f2.0 has been around for decades. A fast focusing prime lens. A Fourier prime length of photojournalists since the days of the introduction of 35mm film

Small, discreet, and super-sharp stopped down beyond f4, with superb colour and microcontrast. It's doesn't really compete with the much faster, more expensive, and larger / heavier 35mm f1.4 lenses, but in my opinion the lens is adequately sharp shot wide open, and you can get a decent backgrond blur depending on your distance to the subject. Considering the price, this is an excellent option; and the small size makes it a great street photography lens.

I bought this lens as I own both FX and DX bodies and wanted one lens that would work with both. Not quite as sharp or light sensitive as the DX offering but pretty close, with the advantage of smaller size and bulk. Like it's DX brother it benefits from stopping down a little and from F2.8 is perfectly sharp.

Beautiful lens for street photography and landscape. Light and compact.
