Product Description
Nikon's 35mm F1.8G features an optical design consisting of 8 elements in 6 groups, a Silent Wave Motor for quiet autofocusing, and a manual focus override that can be used at anytime. For a classic lens with upgraded features, this is a must have for gorgeously imagined shots Read More

i mixed up sizing. i own an fx body and i own 50mm. which on a fx is 50mm, which is what 35mm is on a dx. it was an honest mistake. for a 35mm, on a dx body this is fine. personally id buy a used manual focus 35mm for about 400$.
in the end, i still dont suggest a g lens.

johnypony3I would not recommend a 'G' lens at this point (assuming it has been supplanted by an equivalent E or P lens, which this one has not), mainly because it's a "legacy" lens-type, meaning it isn't necessarily going to be supported on newer cameras and probably is optically inferior to the newer version. All the G refers to is the fact that it has electronic aperture control, which is generally what you want. Pretty much all of Nikon's last generation lenses, including all of the pro lenses from that era, are G. D just means that the lens reports distance information to the body; it does not signify pro/consumer so much as it signifies a lens that's two generations back (that is, one generation older than G lenses). For example, I have the 50/1.8 AF-D prime and it's clearly intended for consumers. At the end of the day, this is Nikon's only "nifty-fifty"-type lens for DX users, so if someone wants this sort of lens, they don't exactly have a lot of choices (30/1.4 sigma is the other option).

Is this lens competeble with Nikon D3300 camera ? Can anybody owner of Nikon D3300 Camera make a reviewe if it is useful for Nikon D3300 ? Because I have bought my Nikon Camera as a package including two other lenses which usually the Nikon sales these lenses with the body together as a package . Very many thanks in advance .

Best lens I have ever purchased, if you dont have a 35mm yet just buy one. Such an insanely versatile lens.

My next thing is this lens refurbed and a decent i-TTL flash, monopod with base and a flashbender to have lighting when shooting cosplayers as I walk around at cons.

I don't get why anyone would buy this here. It's cheaper on Amazon and you get it much faster...

Unfortunately where I live taxes push that to over $200. Just some options for those with higher tax rates as B&H has no tax and free shipping and Amazon ships in 2 days.

PawWalkerIf people are willing to wait about the same amount of time as from massdrop I got a factory sealed 35mm f1.8 (this exact lens) on ebay (they're selling tons of them) for about $150 too. Bit more than a $2 discount.

Not know much about lenes, but would be benificial having this compared to an 18-55 lens for D5500 ?

I thought it was 35mm focal length with a 52mm FOV on the DX while there would be vignetting on a FX body. And the FX 35mm is that focal length and FOV.

No. I wrote NOT in crop mode. So you use the entire sensor and the wider angle, the same as you use the 35mm FX lens. Google "nikkor 35mm dx on fx". :)

Anyone who bought a nikon kit, with the standard 18-55 , 55-200 for DX cameras, i.e. 5000-5300, 3000-33000, and the D7100-D7200. This is the first prime you should buy. Equivilant to 50mm on a FX -lens, presents a natural field of view. Best Use: Indoor , shots of kids moving/zooming past. The zoom lens simply can't focus fast enough. The 1.8 aperture is not so usable, too shallow depth of field but 2.2 to 2.8 provide great low-light shots.

gopalI highly recommend this prime lens as well. Not necessarily because the zoom kit lenses can't focus fast enough (because this 35mm isn't a speedster focus lens either), but because the wider aperture of this lens will allow you to use higher shutter speeds indoors. Higher shutter speeds means less blurry indoor shots of little kids running around (if you don't want to use flash).

PunnyabrataAmazon and B&H have it for a bit more. I thought this was the 50mm AF. However, with no tax (for people living outside NY) from B&H the price difference is a bit more than $10 in CA. From Amazon, there are several authorized dealers selling at list with free shipping and no tax for people who don't live in their respective states. Obviously sales tax varies from locality to locality.

Have been using a 50mm f1.8 old school that I got with my N2020. Needs the focusing motor in the camera. So I have a D7200.

MaddysChappyI know I am answering an old question but other readers may benefit. A prime reason to update from an old film lens is new digital era lenses have more anti-reflective coating inside the lens.
When I bought my first D80 body in 2007 I started buying old prime lenses from the 90s. I did notice many shots with reddish-green color artifacts. It took me years to understand the artifacts. They were the same reddish-green of the camera sensor. Light reflects off the glossy surface of the sensor and then in turn reflects off the back side lens element. Film is a flat finish and not prone to reflecting back light like that, so old lenses don't coat the back elements.
I have slowly replaced all those old lenses with modern versions. I even did A-B tests with old and new lens to confirm the new one does not get the reddish-green artifacts as badly. A bright light shining in-frame still will produce one.
