With a price of around £170, this lens is a bit of a bargain for DX users looking for a compact high quality lens for low light shooting, or to isolate a subject by exploiting shallow depth of field. The optical quality is excellent for a lens at this price point, and that coupled with the good build quality and light weight should mean this lens finds its way into many a Nikon users' kit bag.

The Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8 G ist able to deliver very sharp pictures wide open already. Vignetting is quite well controlled for a dedicated fast DX lens, distortion is a bit higher than expected, though. This is also true for CAs, which can easily be removed in post processing, though. The bokeh, one of the primary aspects for a fast prime, is a bit nervous wide open, but well developed and generally pleasing slightly stopped down. The build quality of the lens is quite good, actually much better than you'd expect given its quite low price. However, allthough it's sonic wave driven, the AF is not really a speed demon.

The 35mm ƒ/1.8G DX fills an obvious hole in Nikon's lineup, and with its very reasonable price point Nikon may have found a way to ride out the recession. In our tests, the lens performs very well, with good results for sharpness at ƒ/1.8, becoming excellent at ƒ/2.8. Chromatic aberration is visible but not overly objectionable and light falloff is nicely controlled. Distortion is a little high for our tastes, especially if the lens is to be marketed as a ''standard'' lens. But for the money you can't beat it, especially if what you've had to work with has been an 18-55mm kit zoom.
