Review on Nikon 35mm f/2D AF Nikkor Lens by Boyan Malyakov ᠌

1) Not a very comfortable grip - the focus ring constantly rotates when the camera is in operation and do not put your palm from below, under the lens. 2) AF module misses at open f / 2.0 on full-frame cameras (on the D700, and even D3s). 3) May not suit "Nuts" in bokeh - a consequence of a small number of aperture blades. 4) Many old screwdriver (AF-D) fixes are not sharp (example Nikkor 28 / 2.8D). On 35 / 2D, on FF cameras, in order to get a sharp picture when shooting landscapes, you will have to twist the aperture. IMHO, working from f / 5.0 (better f / 5.6) and up to f / 9. When shooting cars or when reporting, sharpness is enough already from 4.0-5.0. Who has a modern FF camera and needs sharpness across the entire field of the frame - it's better to take the new Nikkor 35 / 1.8G (for FX) or 35 / 1.4G or fixes with this focal length from Tamron / Sigma. 5) The steel hood Nikon Lens Hood HN-3 for this lens is rare, it is NOT supplied with the lens (option! ) And it is not so easy to find it on sale. 6) An unpleasant and subjective nuance - during intensive work, when shooting several hundred frames a day in different conditions, there is a suion that the lens dust onto the matrix. The lens is not hermetic and fogs up during sudden changes in temperature and humidity.
