Tact sharp and has excellent micro contrast. Definitely has better focus compared to 50mm f1.4G and 85mm f1.4G. Ive noticed CA in the highlights and minimal barrel distortion but not a big deal since it be corrected easy post.

Durable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Lightweight; Nice Bokeh

As I indicated at the beginning of this review, I am probably a little biased in favor of prime lenses when it comes to photography. Until someone discovers a way to make an affordable zoom lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.4 there will always be a place for prime lenses.

[...] So this is my first lens that I bought besides the 18-55mm kit lens that came with my Nikon D3100. After many good reviews and recommendations I decided to purchase this lens. I was a little hesistant because my kit lens has the 35mm range also.

Prime 35mm lens that I was happy to purchase for the low light capabilities and sharpness of my photos. Took awhile to find one that was not on back order or other delay and glad I found that Dell had some.

I use this lens mostly for portrait, modeling, wedding and live performances in low lit places. For the price it's an incrediable lens. My sister is into photography and she's dying to get one her self. It has definately uped my game and made me realise just what a difference a fast lens can make.

i decided to get this 35mm instead of the new 40mm macro, and/or the 50mm. i have a d200 and the crop factor with this lens gives me the perfect coverage i was looking for. it's now become my "normal" lens.

NONE

The 35mm format provides natural "human eye" perspective for Nikon DX cameras. This could be the only lens you need for most photo situations.

Good value Fast auto focus Manual focus ring always active

Sharp DOF focus transitions in close-ups

By far my most used lens. If I had a complaint it would be that it spoils me to want my other lenses to perform as well which can get expensive. The price is oh so right for a lens of this caliber. It's so easily portable.
