CONFIRMED! New Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8G Prime Lens

[gnohz]

Wow, the image look sharper and more saturated with 35mm lens, although it is not fair to compare at different f-stop...
But I still wonder how the performance of this lens with D40, D40x or D60 since the CA is auto correct with a more advanced processor in D300 :think:

It's actually not that sharp at all at wide open. Comparable to 18-55? :dunno: But very sharp when stopped down. CA also gets better. Never really test out a lot though...

I think we got our reviews from sites such as photozone, dpreview etc...because that was what I thought too :sweat: But in actual use, CA was better when stopped down, no idea why too. I guess it also depends on the lighting, degree of contrast and also other actual conditions (variation of lens quality?) :dunno:

Does D80 and Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8G Prime Lens is a good combination?

D80 + 50mm 1.8f AF D seems to be good enough for me, but Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8G Prime Lens advantage it worth to consider (i hope price wont become worse and worse)

is it normal for this lens to af 40% slower than the 24-70mm f2.8 lens?

i noticed the af of my 24-70 is almost immediate.

where as this 35mm feels little laggy
