Review on πŸ“· Nikon AF NIKKOR 1923 35mm f/2D Lens for Nikon DSLR Cameras, Black - Auto Focus by Virgilio Patton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice street and general purpose lens for full fame DSLRs

This is an older lens model but is excellent value for money. I like using it on my D700. Its 35mm focal length and f/2 aperture make it a good and versatile outdoor lens. So far I find it generally sharp and I like the bokeh it creates. However, this lens is not for everyone. If you have a camera with a DX sensor (cropped), you should probably get a 35mm f/1.8 AF-S DX lens. This lens is designed for smaller digital sensors and has a slightly larger aperture. It's a great lens for people with cropped sensors, and you don't get much out of a full-frame 35mm f/2 lens compared to a DX lens with a DX sensor. The 35mm f/2 lens is really ideal for people with full-frame digital SLRs (FX) and 35mm film SLRs. The DX lens also offers quieter focusing and has an internal focus motor that some Nikon cameras require. This lens can also overlap with many other lenses if you already have a lens collection, including other wide-angle primes and zoom lenses. Also, when you get this lens, make sure your camera has an internal focus motor. Unlike many newer AF-S lenses, this lens does not have a built-in focus motor. This means that many Nikon DSLRs, especially entry-level models, cannot autofocus with this lens. You can still use a manual focus lens. If your camera has an internal focus motor, like most 35mm and higher-end DSLRs do, then you won't have a problem with this lens! use, reasonable price and has good results.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • too dull
