.The Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm F/1.8G is a new prime lens (meaning it has a fixed focal length of 35mm) from Nikon that has a few nice features. Most exciting is the speed of this lens – f/1.8 – that’s fast enough for many low light situations (it is the widest aperture DX-series lens available).
This is a DX lens so is designed to work on all DX/cropped cameras including the D40, D40X, D60, D90, D300 etcThe focal length of 35mm sounds wide but is the equivalent of 52mm on a full frame or film body and is pretty close to producing ‘a picture angle similar to the field of vision as seen through the human eye.’ The lens also comes with Nikons Silent Wave Motor – making focussing quiet and smooth.The Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm F/1.8G will have a recommended retail price of $199 USD when released in March and is (pretty affordable for a lens of this speed).

Nikkor 85 1.8g
Today announced the AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G lens, which is the first fixed focal length, fast-aperture DX-format lens that affords photographers superb image quality along with the creative possibilities and versatility of the classic 50mm focal length (FX-format equivalent of 52mm). When mounted on a DX-format camera body, it enables photographers to document their world with a lens that produces a picture angle similar to the field of vision as seen through the human eye. Whether new to D-SLRs or a seasoned enthusiast, users will appreciate the extreme low-light performance and the expanded ability to dramatically separate the subject and background with the new 35mm DX lens’ wide f/1.8 aperture. “The development and release of the 35mm f/1.8 NIKKOR lens delivers new and added versatility to the Nikon DX-format digital SLR system and provides DX-format photographers with a broader range of fast-aperture lens options,” said Edward Fasano, general manager for marketing, SLR Systems Products at Nikon Inc. “This f/1.8 prime lens provides users with exceptional control of background and foreground, superb low-light ability, and the natural focal length that has been the staple of photography since its inception.”Lightweight, compact and affordable, this lens can easily become a fast favorite for any level of photographer, and is the perfect complement to D60 users who are just starting to learn D-SLR photography or enthusiasts who love their D90. The AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G lens is ideal for travel, general photography, landscape shooting, portraiture or pushing creative boundaries.
Don Pope February 10, 2012 12:37 am@Adi,That is incorrect. 35mm is 35mm in ANY lens format.That number represents the distance in mm between the rear nodal point of the lens and the sensor.There aren't small millimeters and large millimeters. Adi February 9, 2012 06:11 pm@Josef makower: the focal length marked on any Nikon lens (probably for other producers too but I am only certain about Nikon) is the focal lenght for 35mm frame (full frame) UNLESS there is also a DX marking. So, in out case, the 35mm f/1.8 DX is actually 35mm and not 35mm equivalent for 35mm frame; 35mm F/1.8 DX is not 50 on DX just like the 85mm DX is NOT 135mm on DX.
This is why DX is there, to confirm the actual focal length experienced through that lens on a DX camera.Thanks!. Pete April 26, 2010 12:32 pmFurther to my post of 17 Feb 2010 I see there's a little discussion taking place re 24mm and 28f/2.8 AFD as alternative lenses to the 35mm DX f1.8G. I tried both the 24 and 28mm before purchasing the 35mm DX 1.8G and found that in auto focus the manual focus ring moves on the 24 & 28mm lenses. Not a huge problem but you do need to keep your fingers off the focus ring on the 24 and 28mm lenses because if you don't the lens wont focus properly on the 24 and 28mm lenses. I also looked at construction and compared both with the 35mm DX lens and thought the new 35mm DX lens was a much better enclosed construction lens with less external moving parts and hence less areas for dust to creep in.
The 24 and 28 mm lenses are both great lenses (I'd be going for the 24mm, particularly if I was going to consider moving from my D300 to a full frame down the track). But I'm happier with the 35mm for my needs as it is a DX specific lens and a little faster at f1.8 that the 24 and 28mm FX lenses discussed. As you can see it comes down to personal choice so I wont rank on either the 24mm or 28mm. For me the 35mm is a DX specific lens and works wonderfully with the DX format. No external ring either to worry about and autofocus is much more silent than using the 24 or 28mm lenses.
Hope this helps with those deliberating whether to go 24mm or 28mm, or indeed with the 35mm DX f1.8 which is the latest in the Nikkor line up and I think arguably the best for my shooting needs.:). Pete February 17, 2010 09:28 pmI use a D300 with an 18-200mm VR Nikon zoom for general travel photography (landscapes and portraits). Just bought the Nikon AF-S 35mm 1.8G and it's simply superb and exceeded my expectations. When you're on the road you need to keep your kit light and that's why I normally travel with just the 18-200mm attached.
However, I found on this trip (India) that the 18-200mm simply can't cope with street shots in the dark back streets of Old Delhi. The 35mm 1.8G fixed that problem. It's a superbly sharp prime and works very well in all situations of poor light. I now leave it on as the general purpose lens and I can easily crop post production (it's that sharp!). A great investment for any DX user that now wants a 50mm FX equivalent prime lens. Priced right it's a must for the travelling photographer. It's light and compact for your camera bag and doesn't weigh you down when you're 'on the go'.
In fact, all you need is a Nikkor AF-S 35mm f1.8G prime to complement an 18-200mm VR zoom and you've got all you need for 100% of your travelling photography needs. Very happy with my purchase and would recommend without reservation. Phil October 17, 2009 10:51 pmBought mine at a local shop (Carsands Mosher) two weeks ago and it's pretty well stuck on my d300!
I find it to be unexpectedly sharp and the f1.8 aperture has given me the opportunity to shoot in situations I couldn't before.It has it's problems.Below f2.8 it is a little soft. But at 2.8 and above it is amazingly sharp!With the D300 and NX2 chromatic aberation doesn't even exist! BUT.if you open the same.nef files in cs3, then it is present and has to be dealt with using the proper tools.Light fall off at f1.8 is marked.but c'mon!!! And what sub $1000.00 lens doesn't have light falloff at a wide open aperture?I highly recommend this lens if you can live with it's faults.I know I can and love using it! Download link in description. When it came out a lot of people seemed to want to beat up on Nikon because this lens wasn't designed for full format.
Personally I am grateful to them as it's sooooo nice to have a prime lens designed for DX format cameras!. Greg March 3, 2009 08:45 amLysa,The 50mm f/1.8 is built (and priced) for full frame (FX) sensors. The focal length multiplier for a DX sensor (D40.
D90) is 1.5, which will turn that 50mm lens into an equivalent 75mm lens. The 35mm f/1.8 announced by Nikon is a true 35mm on a DX sensor.The 'standard' focal length for DX is 35mm, the standard for FX is 50mm.
These focal lengths give images with an angle of view similar to the human eye. Here is a good explanation. MikeTuna February 13, 2009 02:54 amDonna, another lens you might want to look at is the AF 50mm 1.8, which is currently available for around $110-125. It's the same aperture (1.8) as the 35mm mentioned here, so it would also be good for indoor photography (lower aperture numbers mean you can use faster shutter speeds and therefore they're more optimal for indoor use). Since you have a D80, the AF lenses will work great for you (the sub-D80 bodies require the 'AF-S' lenses in order to have functional auto-focus).It's up to you whether a 35mm or 50mm will be better, but I think the main excitement around this new lens is for sub-D80 users who want cheap-ish prime lenses with auto-focus. There are already lots of great options for D80 users like yourself:). Deirdre February 12, 2009 02:26 pmDonna, yes, it will fit your d80.
Nikon 35mm 1.8 Used
It will fit any Nikon DSLR. The problem with cameras 'lower' than the d80 is that they don't autofocus with all lenses. This is one of the first prime lenses Nikon is making that will autofocus on these cameras. This is why it is exciting. You can use this one and any others that will work on the D40/x, D50, D60, and D70, but you have many additional options because you own D80.My feeling is that this would probably be a good lens for concert photography, but I'll let others chime in here. MikeTuna February 12, 2009 04:06 amThis is awesome news, especially in light of the interview kain posted indicating more 'budget'-priced AF-S primes should be coming soon.
I recently bought a D60 as my first DSLR and have been a bit disappointed by the steep prices (at least to me) of the AF-S lenses available, such as the 50mm 1.4. I bought an old AF 50mm which I enjoy, but would love a reasonably priced AF-S alternative. I was starting to think it would be better to move up to an AF-compatible body just to open up my budget lens options.
