Nikon Photographers:

Buy a Nikon 35mm f/1.8G lens! Anybody who doesn't have this lens absolutely needs it as soon as possible. This is probably the most useful lens you'll have in your kit, whether you are shooting on DX or FX sized sensors. Even though it is a DX lens, there is hardly any falloff on a FX sensor, meaning it will definitely be usable as a 35mm lens, equivalent to a 50mm lens on DX sensors.

The reason I say to buy this is because for $200, it can't be beat. It is very small and easy to carry around, and it is fast enough to really make a difference in low-light situations. Plus, it's value won't go down if you ever plan on selling it because it's a lens. Camera bodies go down in value, not lenses.

I would highly recommend it if you are a filmmaker as well because it works wonders with the Nikon d7000 as a standard all-purpose lens. Fast glass with the d7000 really let's you get down and dirty with low-light scenes.

Anyway, if you are a Nikon photographer and don't already have this lens, for $200 it's definitely worth it and will really take your photos up a notch.


Check out a picture from it and look at how blurry you can make the background!



It works with every Nikon digital SLR camera, and looks amazing.
