The lens includes Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor for quiet, accurate autofocus and an aspherical element to minimize distortion.

## Description

From the Manufacturer With a compact, lightweight design, the AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G provides the high reproduction capability and picture quality for which Nikkor lenses are renowned at an affordable price. The ring type SWM offers quiet AF operation. Although all lens groups shift during focusing, the front element and filter mount do not rotate and the barrel length does not change, which is useful when using filter mounted SB-R200 Wireless Remote Speedlight units. The AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G optical design allows a different look and feel to images taken with zoom lenses, and its dimensions are ideal for discrete snapshots and landscape shooting with a picture angle that approximates that of the human eye. With its rounded seven-blade diaphragm opening, out-of-focus elements appear more natural. When mounted on a DX-format SLR, the picture angle is the 35mm equivalent focal length of 50mm. The AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G has two focus modes, M/A (manual override autofocus) and M (manual focus). The M/A mode enables instant manual switching during AF operation. The lens also features a rubber seal to minimize moisture ingression around the mount and can focus down to 0.3 meters (0.98 ft).

Review: EBay the kit lens and buy this before you put batteries in your new camera - What a great price for a fast, prime lens that you'll use every day. I'm a nube to photography (good photography) and have caught the bug. I've got a Nikon D5200 and primarily take pictures of family and kids sporting events. The big zoom goes to the soccer games with us, but for almost everything else I use this little gem. With a max aperture of 1.8 you'll rarely need a flash for most of life's events indoors or out. The sharpness of the pictures I've taken with this is so good that you can really crop something down if you want to "zoom" in using Photoshop or Aperture with no graininess or degredation. At the risk of embarrassing myself to the more savvy photo enthusiasts I will try and explain why this and not the 18-55mm kit lens that you got with your camera. No it doesn't zoom (that's the prime lens part), but you'll find yourself in the 35mm range on that 18-55mm lens most times anyway. They say a 35mm lens is most representative of what the eye sees anyway. What it does do is let in a lot of light, a lot more than the kit lens does. This gives you a couple benefits first of which is speed (the fast lens or fast glass part) which means less blur on things moving and stationary. It also means that you can dial down your ISO settings. Higher ISO settings tend to add noise to the picture which gives you that pixelated look when you zoom in and crop a picture. Thirdly is something us point-and-shooters have never gotten to appreciate called depth of field. This lens will let you take those great looking photos where your subject is in perfect focus and the background is pleasantly blurred drawing your attention to what you intended the view to see. You can adjust your aperture setting to have a deep depth of field where everything is in focus, but you'll need a fast lens like the 1.8 to get a really striking shallow depth of field photo like the pros. For under $200 (maybe under $100 if you get a good price for your kit lens on Ebay), this is the single best thing you can buy to take great photos. You can pay more money for better cameras with larger sensors and more bells and whistles, but so far it appears to me that you're better off taking pictures with a great lens on a good camera, than a good lens on a great camera.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: basketball**
A: OK, in all seriousness, if the question really is: "Can you use this lens to shoot basketball?", the answer is yes, if you sit on the baseline, find the right exposure settings, and shoot burst at least 3 fps.  I use this lens to catch anywhere from layups to jump shots in the corner, when my team is on offense.  When they're on defense on the other side of the court, I switch to the 85 1.8, which captures backcourt defense really well, but not enough depth to capture my team defending their rim.

**Q: SO what is the big difference between the 50mm and the 35 mm lenses? I have been looking at oth for my D3000**
A: The difference between the two lenses is the focal length. I personally have both lenses in my arsenal because they are NOT the same or even that similar, as some have said. The nifty fifty, as it's known, is great for portrait close-ups. It produces creamy bokeh that is absolutely gorgeous. The 35mm can also be used as portrait lens but it won't give you anything near the beauty of the composition of a 50mm shot. Also, it's a wider angle (the smaller the number the wider the lens) so basically if you were to stand at the back of a room full of people with a 50 on and look through your viewfinder, then stand in the same spot but change your 50 to the 35, you'll find that you can see more of the room (hence, wider angle) through the 35. I recommend buying both but if you're just getting started and looking to save money, definitely go with the 50mm.

**Q: Is this a better lens than the one that comes with the nikon d3100 for close up shots of jewelry of small items for e bay**
A: The answer is yes and no.  This lens is a better overall lens than the "kit" lens that typically comes with the D3100.  However, this is a prime lens which means it has a fixed focal length - no zoom.  Zooming is done with your feet.  The "kits lens" is usually a 18mm-55mm lens.  Better for zooming, but not as good in low light, and not the same quality lens as this one.

**Q: what size UV filter for the NIKON 35mm f/f1.8 AF-S DX lens?**
A: Hi CAPT W.  The size UV filter that you need is 52mm. I found that Nikon 35mm camera stranded lens are 52mm. However, wide angle, fisheye, and telephoto lens are different in size. For example, telephoto lens over 250mm use a 58mm filter. I hope that this helpful.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One truly excellent Nikon DX "normal" lens...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a terrific prime lens at at super affordable price!
*by T***Y on December 13, 2019*

I've had this lens for just about a month and I couldn't be happier with it! The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G gives you a lot of quality for a little bit of money. I'm shooting with a Nikon D3500 DSLR and I have to say this lens is quite a step up from the kit lenses that came with my camera. The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Len has great clarity and the auto focus works very well. It's relatively fast to focus and shoot with. The manual focus works well and the focus ring moves smoothly. It's versatile close-up and far away, but remember, this is a prime lens so there is no zoom. You have to do any zooming with your feet by moving to position your framing and your shot. This lens works well in low-light situations with the ability to open the aperture up to F1.8G. It's easy to control the depth of field and creates a nice bokeh (blurred) background for professional looking photos. An example of blurred colored lights is attached. This lens is great for portrait or product photography and it's very good for landscapes too. The other attached photos examples have only a minimum of post-processing, mostly to adjust exposure and highlights, but they are a good example of the quality this lens offers for its price point. The lens is small and light and it's become my "go-to" whenever I'm shooting pictures. It won't weigh you down carrying it for a day of shooting. Remember, depending on your camera, this lens may not shoot as a true 35mm - on my camera's cropped sensor, it shoots the equivalent of 50.2mm. This works well for me for the various types of shooting I like to do. I really can't give a list of pros and cons since I have no experience with another similar lens (it's my 1st prime lens), but I will say that so far, all I've seen are "pros". As an amateur photographer, it's a nice step up from kit lenses. I don't hesitate to suggest this lens and I would purchase another. Thanks for reading my review and I hope it help you to decide on the lens that you really think will work for you.
