Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best product I have ever reviewed, I recommend it to everyone!

I used to use it as an addition to the whale, now it always costs as a regular one. People write a lot about curved autofocus. Here we must remember the materiel. Put any depth of field calculator on your phone, such as DoF Calc, and you will see this. If you shoot an object from a distance of 2 meters, then the field of sharpness is only 20 cm. That is, from the point of sharpness, only 10 cm in both directions. If between the moment of focusing and the click of the shutter you (or the…

Pros
  • Lightweight, compact, looks good on the d5100. I took 18-55 as an addition to the kit for portraits, but in fact I abandoned the kit altogether, because in all respects, except for the viewing angle, this 35mm is much superior to the kit. When compared with a whale, the aperture is about 35mm 7 times higher (you can shoot at 100 iso with the same shutter speeds as with a whale at iso 800 under the same conditions), gives much better background blur than a whale, focuses many times faster and more exactly. The percentage of sharp shots with this lens is disproportionately higher than with 18-55, which is actually pleasantly pleasing, because at aperture 1.8 the depth of field is much smaller than at 4.5 (whale aperture at 35mm).
Cons
  • viewing angle. but this is not a disadvantage, but a feature. you just need to understand that panoramic shots will not work. for this you need to have a different lens

It's the best purchase I ever made, I will definitely do it again.

On a crop without a screwdriver (and this is most of the budget cameras like my D60 and D3100), you need just such a 35mm lens, it is equal to a full-frame 50-ku - an ideal lens in the opinion of many. Kit 18-55 shoots universally, diverse objects can be all in focus - but frankly, it shoots boringly. In the same lens, there is amazing clarity of the main object, as well as a chic blur of everything else, while not just blurring everything and everything, but selective and very interesting.…

Pros
  • - bright, - high-quality photos and high-quality lens, - inexpensive (especially not in 2022).
Cons
  • - they are also pluses - it requires an increase in the art of photography, it will not be possible to shoot like on a whale lens.

The best thing for the money, Im glad I chose this option.

As an amateur photographer, I can say that the lens almost suits me. The focal lengths on the crop are just perfect, it was a pleasure to shoot on it at first. With his purchase, you start taking pictures differently, thinking. When I shoot from it, I almost don’t have to crop the photo, the zoom with “legs” makes me think) BUT it was only at the beginning. After six months of use, HA and hares just get mad and spoil the feel of the lens. Although in general he is satisfied with the glass, he…

Pros
  • Sharpness, convenient focal length (the same 50mm including crop), aperture.
Cons
  • For myself, I found 2 very unpleasant shortcomings - HA, and drained sun hares. Moreover, the 2nd drawback has recently become very annoying - Large pieces of the frame are spoiled by the reflection of the matrix, and it is very difficult to remove them with post processing.

I like the product very much, fully consistent with my expectations.

It performs its tasks, did not reveal jambs. DOF at 1.8 from a distance of 1 m to the subject is literally a few millimeters, at a distance of 2-3 m it is probably 1-2 centimeters, due to which it seems that the whole image is out of focus, but this strip of sharply depicted space is very clear passes like a saw cut through a tree through the entire image. Very effective. Of course, if there is an object in the focus area, everything is great, airy, draws and washes the background (bokeh)…

Pros
  • 1. Aperture (in conditions where it would be impossible to read a book - it shoots like during the day, though at ISO 1600 and higher, and the shutter speed is around 1/5-1/10 sec.) But the picture is quite smooth, without much noise. 2. The size is very compact even with a lens hood, after 18-200 it seemed that there was simply no lens))) 3. It perfectly washes the background (bokeh) and creates a feeling of airiness in the whole photo. At the same time, it is sharp in the focus zone, I would say NATURALLY sharp, without artificiality and kinks, but I did not notice soap. 4. I think that these focal lengths (35 mm) are the golden mean and the so-called "staff" on the crop (I put it on the d7000). 5. It focuses already at 15 cm from the front lens (although the description says 30 cm) and gives a very good picture, comparable to fixes (if 1x2 meters are not going to print an image of a ladybug or a flower). But you need to know that when shooting an object from a distance of 15-20 cm, at aperture 1.8, the depth of field will be about 1 mm, so if you want bugs, spiders, flowers or jewelry to be completely in the field of sharpness, you need to squeeze the aperture to f /6 or more! 6. Excellent compact and durable lens hood. 7. 7-bladed diaphragm (beautiful circles in bokeh). 8. Small filter diameter (52 mm), respectively, not expensive UV filters and others. 9. USM is more like a virtue (but personally, I think that at 35 or 50 mm it doesn’t matter, because usually they don’t remove the dynamics, so a screwdriver wouldn’t be a problem either). 10. Metal mount. 11. There is NO vignetting on my copy from 1.8 onwards.
Cons
  • 1. Doesn't take pictures himself. Otherwise, everything is expected and there is nothing to particularly criticize here. 2. The only pity is that it does not fit the full frame, on the other hand, you can sell it together with the carcass, a set. It is also an option. 3. AF really misses plus or minus 1-2 cm, but on a narrow depth of field like 1.8 or even 2.8 you obviously won’t shoot figure skating, boxing or running kids (too narrow depth of field, in my opinion, for such tasks), so for leisurely shooting is fine.

A really necessary purchase, I'm glad I found this product.

American (made in rank). Pleased with the kit. At first, after the 70-300 lens, it was not customary, the first pictures were sometimes terrifying, disheartening (due to my own crookedness, I opened it at f1.8 - f2.0 and waited for a miracle) Super portraits are obtained, in real light environment, good pictures are guaranteed to people who have a normal, basic knowledge of the physical principles of photography. (These requirements simplify the practice, but there is a danger of being…

Pros
  • Huge sharpness, aperture ratio, small dimensions, versatility (excellent reporter)
Cons
  • backlash ring (practically not "-"), be able to take a picture of them.
