Hello guys.. I'm quite confused on getting either one of these nikkor g lenses due to restrained budget..

I'm still unable to decide which one to take.. Will use it as a all purpose? Landscape + portrait?

Might need public opinions to make up my mind.. Any convincing comment?



Thanks for reading and providing opinion!

How to suggest if you don't even mention what you like to shoot?

Sorry... Post updated.. how about all purpose?

Indoor + Studio Photoshot = 35 mm

Outdoor + Potrait = 50mm

Judt found out that there's a FX format 35mm 1.8G available now.. What if i compare that with the 50mm 1.8g?

its a lot more expensive iinm. but better than both.

Forgot to mention, 35 1.8g has weather sealing.. How about the 50 1.8g?

Are you actually gonna shoot in the rain with those? You'll need a weather sealed body too.

Depends on which focal length you prefer. For me, on crop sensor, I prefer the 35mm.

You stated for "all purpose", I think the 35mm on crop sensor is a good combo, as you wont have to step back too much to take photos, for example, indoor, where space is limited, 50mm on crop sensor will be a bit far.

Shot with the 35mm f1.8G on D7000.

If crop sensor, get the 35mm. also for the price of that lens, you really will get the best bang for your buck!

Both of the lens can shoot a lot of things

just that you need to try out to see which one suits you better.

Agree to mingyuyu.. Haven tried the 35mm..

Nogol, I am using d7100 and I guess I will be shooting in the rain..

On crop sensor 50mm is trully a bit too far for me since I am planning to get an all-purpose lens.. 35mm will be the choice then?

Cheers everyone~

Yep go for 35. Unless you already have something else in that focal length and wanna do portraits only outdoors. 35 is pretty good for DX.

I think so bro.. Will go to any shop tht allows me to test with the 35mm f.8g.. And i guess i found the lens of my choice..

Thx everyone for making this thread alive..

Just got a 35mm and on the 1.5 crop. Having fun playing with it at the moment. I have a 50mm lens but I think for most average shooting the 35 mm is more convenient. Much easier to walk near and get everything to fit the frame, than to walk further away to get everything to fit the frame. Also like some of the other guys, I think the 50mm felt too zoomed for me.

Yeah bro.. Gonna get myself a 35mm for sure.. Thanks for providing suggestion!

i am happy user of 35mm on my d7000 body..as the photo seems wider to me and the view its jus like what ur eyes see
