Try take outdoor under bright daylight or sufficient lighting or use flash gun for indoor, use tripod if u have, see the result when it's focus properly.
You can also try AF-C when hand held to help getting more accurate focus due to slight movement, you might notice the focus change even you move just a little.
Proper exposure also important, try to keep the ISO low to avoid noise.

Yup, its a nice lens on DX for portrait or certain situation, each range have its own purpose. It'll be nice to have all of it

hmm the stage area is too close to the merlion, the spot i chose was just nice in the middle between merlion and marina bay sands.

get 24 f/1.4, 35 f/1.4, 50 f/1.2(future release), 85 f/1.4
n u r good in all ranges

Yup, stuck in middle, but for indoor shot, it's more useful than 50mm most of the time, or during dinner sitting down, you don't have to move around, move to the back, etc. Espeicially tight place, you cannot go behind anymore, I face this problem even with 35mm sometimes when the people wanna take group shot while sitting down.

Anyway, I notice many pro FX owner owns or buys the 35mm f1.8G DX, even use it on their D3S.

cos d 35 f/1.8G on FF bodies in FX mode, d lens gives very nice vignetting, kinda lomo feel

love ur fireworks shots.

24 is coming. 35, choose to forgo

Sigma or Nikon? Looks great even on f/2.2! But color look washed out. Lens issue?

looks sharp ... but colour a bit washed out ... auto WB ???

^ it is nikon 35mm 1.8
yep it's true it was f/2.2, anyway how could u know that? (what an amazing eye of you) *wink*
IDK why it is washed out, it thought it must because of light. isn't it?

Yeah auto WB on 0,0 (if not mistaken)
I don't really know how to set WB yet (I mean on what condition which WB setting and so on), any advice?
