Funny story ...I had finally decided to buy the Nikkor 50 mm ( all the hype about nifty-fifty etc ) and my wife told she would buy it for me for Christmas. When the box came it turned out she had mistakenly bought the Nikkor 35mm. So instead of getting annoyed at her , I decided to do some research to find out which was better. It turns out that the 35mm is actually perfect for my style of photography and since I have a D5600 body I'm still getting the "50mm look"......so I'm keeping it !! Thanks.

I have the same camera and I bought 35mm lense as my first prime lense. 35mm is more verstile than the 50mm lense as 50mm is usually great for portraits only. 35mm is good for portraits too but bokeh effect isnt as melted as 50mm but still good enough. Also 35mm is useful for street photography and landscapes as you can get more in the picture. Hit like if it has answered any of your question.

Do you mean the 35mm lens on the crop sensor bodies like the Nikon D3500? (since its still 50mm ish once u factor in the crop). But yeah i def agree! This 35mm lens is the way to go, the 50mm lens will be TOO cropped in once u add in the crop factor.

Solid review! Especially for a person new to this!

+Steven Sampson Yes, if you don't mind. The quality is amazing.

Great review! I bought this lens but I've a question about the auto focus motor and his sound or noise, i mean when you are taking a picture can you hear the focus motor? mine has a noise and i don't know if is normal or there's a problem with the lens, and i have nothing to compare with. Thank you for the help.

Thanks for this review. Not sure if I missed this but does the 'silent wave focusing motor' truly auto-focus silently? I want to buy this for stills and video but hate the chirping sounds that can be picked up by the camera's mic whilst recording video with the kit lens. Please let me know if this is better, thanks!

a]] fx and dx lenses fit all cameras but you wont have auto focus on the older or current d series linses. nice video for a first timer.

Do you find the focus ring on this lens to be gritty at all? I have the lens and while the image quality is amazing, the focus ring is not as smooth as I'd like. I'm coming from Canon though I don't know if all Nikon lenses are like this

Does yours sound kinda rigid when you turn it like their is something in between the dial when you focus? What does the infinity logo mean on the 50mm lens?? Why do only some lens have a lock feature?

Man lovely review have a question I realized that this lens doesn't have VR so that means that the photos taken handheld will get will become blurry

For the money this is a great little lens. However Nikon should also make a 24mm 1.8 DX prime to go with this lens. In often shoot landscapes. So I like having a wider focal length to work with. I recently bought the new Nikkor 24 mm 1.8G ED. It absolutely blows my old 24mm 2.8D out of the water. It's such a sharp lens! You don't even need to enlarge the images to see the difference.

Can you hear focusing motor in recording video? I have Nikon's 18-105mm (with D5300) and that noise can be very noticeable in video.

Thanks for taking the time to create this video. Now that you've had the lens for a while, how do you like it now? I have the 50 mm 1.4 G lens and I love it! So, if you're thinking about another lens, it's well worth it. I'm now thinking about getting this little gem. Thanks again.

Hi Steve, Iis this lens compatible with nikon D3400?. Thanks in advance.

This is a DX lens. So does it work as 52mm on D5600 or it works as 35mm only?

In your opinion, would the Nikon lens be great for creating KZread videos in my room?

Hi there, Steve! I really enjoyed your review. I also have the D3200 and want to buy the 35mm lens. I wonder what are your impressions now that one month or so has passed? What I am chiefly interested in is: do you hear the sound of the motor when it's focusing during a video (and if yes, do you think an external microphone will solve the problem?) and also how do you feel about the portraits this lens makes? Last, are you happy with the Nikon filter? Thanks a lot, DK

@StevenSampsonMedia

9 жыл бұрын

Now that it's been a month using the lens I actually really like it still. When shooting photos you have to be careful and choose the right aperture to get everything you want focused. When shooting video I have the focus set to manual so unwanted sounds aren't a problem. I definitely recommend using an external microphone that you plug into your smartphone or some sort of field recorder. Portraits have been awesome. As most people state it's true....with this lens you have to use your feet to get the shot you want but I've been super happy with the few portraits I've taken. The clear filter is awesome but I recommend a circular polarizer on Sunny days which helps reduce glare and increase contrast. Thanks for checking out my video!
