Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens with Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras, 2183, Black

I bought this and had a good experience. Product is genuine. Thank you.

Great lens

Wow! I'm loving this prime lens and mainly using for shooting videos for my daughter's YouTube channel on my Nikon D3400. I know my camera is a entry level DSLR, but this lens made the quality of the video superb and worth buying. I bought this lens at AED 599 at offer price. This is now become my main lens. The quality is very sharp and nice smooth bokeh. As my DSLR APS-C sensor, 35mm does give the effect of 50mm lens. Highly recommended!!!

I'm taking nice photos with this lens

Very light weight because of the plastic exterior, which might make it easy to damage it if it falls, but it definitely does the job, I use if for the overhead shots in my food photography and I've had excellent results, plus I can use a regular tripod to shoot overhead now, I had to use the c-stand with my 50mm to get the camera further away, this made my life easier.

This lens is a must have for your collection if you want to do portraits and landscape photography. Its light weight and comes with a pouch as well as a bayonet hood. I do agree that the resulting bokeh in portraits is not as creamy as you would get when using a 50mm F/1.8 lens but I am happy to compromise on that.

As expected! Great service! And amazing lens

amazing lens. Must have

I gave 1 star for "image stabilization" as this lens does not have that feature. TBH you don't need it on a lens like this. If your pictures are blurry, you need to look at your camera technique! So what's good about it? The picture quality from this lens is comparable to much more expensive lenses. It is significantly better than most kit lenses that come with DX nikon cameras. It has very low distortion and has a field of view comparable to what you see, so perfect for reportage, travel, landscapes etc. It's also really fast - i.e. it goes down to f1.8 which means you can shoot with a lower ISO and still have a good shutter speed in lower lighting. It also means you can shoot really professional looking portraits with a lovely blurry background or beautiful bokeh if you have christmas lights or such like about 20 feet or more behind the subject. The final comment is that this lens is very small and light, and is now my preferred 'default' lens if i'm out and about with the camera without a specific shot in mind. Being a prime lens, you can't zoom in or out, so you need to position yourself to get the best shot, and that encourages more creative photography I think. Great little lens for the money!

Nikon 35mm AF-S DX lens Once upon a time in the days of film ALL film SLR cameras came with a “fast” 50mm lens – usually f1.8 ( or more rarely f1.4) giving the same angle of view as human vision. Wide aperture allowed slower, sharper film and the ability to focus closely and provide shallow “depth of focus” to highlight the subject. Zoom lenses were expensive and less sharp than “prime” or single focal length lenses. Most modern digital (D)SLR’s now come with excellent zooms but only moderate apertures across the zoom range ( except for megabucks f2.8 professional lenses) Whilst the zoom lens gives great flexibility in framing a subject it is easy to become sloppy by not moving to fill the frame with this human vision perspective. This “standard” perspective lens makes you think more about your compositions (but also works well as simple point and shoots) This 35mm (52.5mm equivalent on a DX sensor like my Nikon D3100/D5100 – or modern equivalents) dual type autofocus lens is a total cracker .Very lightweight (yet sturdy) it is nice to get back to a “standard” lens again. Even better, when creating movies (or getting “differential focus on stills), this fast lens allows both a shallow focus and enhances the sensitivity of the camera at full aperture at lower. ISO values (reducing electronic noise).It also covers a full aperture range from f1.8 – f22 The f1.8 speed allows many photographs to be taken indoors (or dull outdoors) without flash. - Or video without additional lighting. The standard 18-55mm zoom lens is only f4 at the 35mm DX ( 50mm standard) so there is at least 2 stops gain and a corresponding reduction in shutter speed with this prime lens - i.e. faster shutter speeds can be used and sharper pictures result. The ability to tweak the manual focus whilst still in auto is great as any off centre subject missed by the auto focussing can be rapidly corrected The lens takes a 52mm diameter filter – either as protection, minor colour correction or effect filters. Relatively cheap close up lenses also seem to work extremely well giving a genuine super macro lens with minimal softness at the edges of the image NOTE – you could get the cheaper non DX, manual focus f1.8 Nikkor but this will be 75mm equivalent (and possibly of interest as a portrait lens although a 105mm prime lens is usually used for this.)

Bra för sitt pris, enkelt att ta fina bilder i vardagsmiljöer.

Voulant s'entraîner avec objectif fixe pour portrait et prise en faible luminosité c'est un bon achat au vu de son prix.

Pour cet ordre de prix, voilà un super objectif qui change vraiment de ceux livré avec les appareils reflex Nikon, je pense qu'il ne décevra personne: 35 mm (soit 50 mm en équivalent 24X36) c'est très bien. J'ai préféré prendre ce modèle plutôt que le 50 mm (équivalent 75 mm en 24X36) qui à mon avis peut être un peu trop "serrant" pour les photos en intérieur. Les photos prises à grande ouverture en faible luminosité ont vraiment du "cachet", arrière plan magnifiquement flouté, contraste important entre les zones éclairées et les zones sombres qui sont bien noires. Attention néanmoins: La grande ouverture autorise des photos en intérieur sans flash, oui MAIS: le temps de pose dans ce cas peut être relativement long (plus de 1/40è de s) ce qui induit tout de même un risque de flou de bougé. De plus la profondeur de champ à grande ouverture étant extrêmement réduite, il faut faire très attention à l'endroit choisi pour la mise au point. Un exemple sur un visage, vous visez l'oreille et la face est floue... A savoir quand même, ce n'est pas l'objectif qui fera le photographe... Autre bémol, sur le mien le pare-soleil ne se verrouille pas franchement, comme sur mes autres objectifs Nikon.
