Thx! I actually had hard time following him and the movements are rapid

Thx! Ya lor... Don't have fast lens and prime baru 50mm
Didn't bring flash along on vacation though..

Not trying to "derhaka" to sifu , but i think the 35mm DX F/1.8 deserve a little better (not sucks big time)

when i bought my D90 the only lens i want is prime normal lens

yep i admit i have not much money to afford expensive, also i'm new to dslr.

But upon reading this 2 review i made my mind based on amount of money i had that time (as student doctor)
so bought the 35mm DX F/1.8


also this one guy one lens



now i'm a qualifed doctor and obviously i can afford any lens/cam
But still i'm using my D90 + 35mm DX F/1.8 coz , that is what i want to learn on
If i can learn just medicine for 6 years, why not just one lens for any number of years

Yup 35mm DX F/1.8 had weakness , but it is not sucks big time.


just my to cents as a student of D90


really hope to see your test 35mm F/1.8 vs 35mm F/2.0 coz i'm happy to see the weakness so that i can learn how to improve my technique

You are going to stick with 35mm for years?? Don't you think that it is quite limited when there are certain pictures you might want to take in a different focal length?

d60 huh... well firstly check all available friends and see if anyone can loan you a flash head.

i was thinking at first of suggesting getting a 50mm/f1.8 instead, but u cant autofocus with that combination.

otherwise, i suppose you know your only option? max out iso, aperture, compensate a little underexposed, crank up the exposure in photoshop.

OR just use the body-flash la. stick a diffuser onto it.

You're going to come up with less than sharp pictures. So if you're concerned about your reputation, refuse the job with those equipment. Explain to them that they can't expect most people to take sharp photos with that combination.

i just said why not , and still deep in my heart this is maybe the only lens i'll use

yup it is limited, currently i move my legs .
yup maybe i'll lost some of that diff focal length , but currently i'll try on what i have.

and to be honest i'll used my money for something else, coz i set in my mind that 35mm is all i have and make sure to get the best out of it.

by all means if you feel you need more lens and NIKON lens is really good.
not going too argue about need for lens,

my previous writing is just to lift the 35mm DX from sucks to much better if not good/excellent

I'm still student of D90 and 35mm

Good pricing, go get it . I would get it immediately if I saw this sort of offer back then.

Noisy but lovely pic

Not really. Sometime hotel lighting especially when I go fine dining, f1.4 might not enuff too and too shallow if use at f1.4

Lovely

If compare with f2 version, it sucks.
To be honest, 50mm f/1.8 also better than this lens
Have you ever play the f2 version before ?

I more agreed with ken, pedagang and thom.

^
The result of photos will tell you how sharp the AFD version @f2 compare with f/1.8 @f2

Add on : I too believe in Thom but read the drawback.


I'm referring to wide open aperture. Any lens can be sharp if step down.

Anyway, you should try out yourself too besides just trusting anyone else.

Nothing is perfect and it is still "Recommended" by both Ken and Thom.

^
I know but anyhow, maybe you should really try out.

Lots of photographer looking for that lens instead of the 1.8 version.

http://www.bythom.com/Nikkor-35mm-D-lensreview.htm
"The 35mm f/2 just doesn't make the grade against the f/1.8 DX lens. First, it's more expensive and slightly slower. It has slightly more vignetting and the corner performance isn't up to that of the DX lens. It is also not AF-S, so won't autofocus on the recent low-end consumer DSLRs. That's a lot of minuses. In terms of pluses: it works on FX bodies and has a very nice manual focus ability, including DOF markings. On balance, a DX user should choose the DX lens. If you have both DX and FX bodies, the f/2D starts to make some sense, especially if you're stopping down some."

I read that

Still the images on 1.8 softer than f2 version

We need to compare the overall of lenses, f1.8 version still pretty sharp even for Ken and Thom standard. Just want to share that 35mm 1.8 is a very good consumer lens.

wow gratz selinix. quite a nice price u got btw.
so how's the grip? feels nice?

^
I never deny it's a good consumer lens, but it's not par to what my friends and I looking for. See the word I bold it ? It's for consumer.

Besides, a friend of mine, located at Abu Dhabi too ask me to find him f2 version.

Anyway, I rest my case because I know how good it's and how bad it's. Been at least own f2 twice or thrice (sell buy sell again and buy again ) , I know the AF-S version is just not par with what I'm looking for because it's soft. Way too soft.

It deserve a better one. I think most ppl reading here are consumers.

wat bout 50mm1.4afd stop down to f2 compared to 35mm wide open at f2?? which is sharper?
