Long time Nikon user. Had always wanted the 35mm lens. Bought it in anticipation of several wedding events. Used it, very sharp, like it very much. Expensive, but if you can justify the cost, go for it... You only have one life to take photos - keep telling myself that daily.

Before I start to review this lens, I would like to reveal a little about my photography background. I shoot Nikon, Canon and Fuji... I know most of the reviews on this lens are quite good. That's only because this is one of the best 35mm lens Nikon knows how to make.

I bought this lens to complement the Nikon 85mm 1.4G on a D700. I wanted a wide-angle lens that wouldn't suck out the corners like 24mm and wider lenses do. I use it mostly to make photographs of my friends and family.

Fast / accurate auto-focus; Nice Bokeh; Strong Construction

I'd be very careful not to cross-thread the plastic filter thread

Two comments. Great service and pricing from Crutchfield. Crutchfield follow and assistance to question and help is great. The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.4 lens is a very sharp lens. Colors are great.

Sharp, clear and solid; Great FX lens for landscape/scenic; Great for travel street shots

little heavy; however not so much that you don't get used to it

Hopped on a plane to Brisbane and used this lens all Christmas with my D7000. That's what I found best about the lens, portability, suitable to most shots, and great professional quality.

Best Uses : Street, Event, Low light I have read people complain in forums that this lens is inferior to the 24mm AF/S. The perspective between the 24 & 35 are vastly different. It's not a matter of which is sharper, more important is which perspective is needed/preferred.

Price

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.4G ($1,799.95) is a wide-aperture lens aimed at photographers who adore the classic wide-angle field of view that a 35mm prime lens captures. It's a fine lens that's quite sharp through most of the frame, showing just a bit of softness at the edges when paired with a...

Excellent center sharpness; Wide aperture gathers a lot of light; Solid build quality; Good close focus capability

Some edge softness at wider apertures; Mild barrel distortion; Expensive

If you were only aware of first-party lenses from Canon and Nikon, you'd be forgiven for thinking that 35mm f/1.4 lenses are almost impossible to manufacture. Why else would they cost in excess of $1,600, when 35mm f/1.8 and f/2 lenses go for a third or less of the price?

The latest addition to Nikon's stable of fast primes, the Nikon 35mm f/1.4G AF-S offers Nikon users a classic focal length with all the cutting-edge features we've come to expect. With a big price tag, the question with the 35mm f/1.4G is whether it has the performance to match.
