Nikon 35mm 1.8 DX - at last!

[Ken]

Just got mine today - Here are a few samples...
one original (downsized) and one 100% crop.

I love this lens, its probably going to stick on my d40 till I die or upgrade, whichever comes first!

seriously, for a hobbyist on a budget, this lens is hard to beat.

btw- no adjustments at all, just downsampled/cropped.

Because after the upgrade, vBulletin decided that it got sick of you so it won't show that to you j/k. I think Abel is working on that. His server is definitely faster now, just a few hiccups that need adjusted.

Just got my copy of this lens today and thought I would share a few shots I took of my pups...these are all straight off the camera, no editing other than sizing for web. Enjoy!

I'm supposed to get my copy on the 22nd. Can't wait...... lol

Was thinking about picking this up but picked up a 80-200mm 2.8 pushpull instead =D

Why is the 35mm f/2.0 more expensive than the 1.8?

[srwatters]

FX vs. DX coverage perhaps?

[RKEnnis]

I want one of these REAL BAD! It seems to be back in stock at at a few places... now if I could just find the money.

[jgarz84]

Does anybody know where I can find one these days?

[questor]

Best bet right now will be Amazon. I got mine from them a week ago.

I haven't held the 1.8 but i bet the build quality is lower. The f/2 is in the same zone build quality wise as the 50 1.4, i'm guessing the 1.8 is built like the 50 1.8.

I've had this lens since it was released, pre-ordered it when I first found out about it for $199 it was worth a try... anyways back to your question the 35mm f/2.0 is more expensive as it works on both DX, FX, and film bodies where as the 35mm f/1.8 only works on DX and FX in DX crop mode.

The 35mm f/1.8G is similar to the 50mm f/1.4G version and the 35mm f/2.0 is similar the the 50mm f/1.4D in my opinion as I've had each one at one time or another.
