I was a very happy camper today when I received my new 35mm f/1.8 DX from my very good friend who had just returned from the states. From the short walk with this new piece of glass today I think I am really going to enjoy this little wonder.

This is actually the 2nd image that I took with this new lens (mounted on my D60) as the subject of my first image has requested me not to share it.

Enjoy the new toy. :up:

Thanks Colin

I will have a better play with this lens tomorrow, but first impression is that it is a sharp little bugger. Minimum focal distance could be closer but other than that I have no complaints.

Reviews indicate that the edge sharpness is not as good as it could be so I will have to have keep an eye out and see if I notice anything there. It is a perfect match to my D60 though.

Definitely a great range for the crop sensor, look forward to seeing more from this lens cam. You must be getting a tidy collection of lens now! :up:

Nice acquisition Cameron. I am considering a 35 1.4 as well. Maybe next year though.

He just needs the 12-24 2.8 to complete his collection of the great zooms. Perhaps 200 2, 135 2, 300 2.8, 600 4..... I don't he has TSE lenses yet.... :violin:

Surenj I think you mean the Nikkor AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8....which is coming....with my FX body (in a year or more), but yes the collection is growing a bit out of hand.

Tokina 10-17 Fisheye
Tamron 17-50 f/2.8
Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8
Tamron 28-105 f/2.8
Nikkor 28-80
Tamron 70-300
Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 VR

Nikkor DX 35mm f/1.8
Nikkor 50mm f/1.8
Nikkor AI 135mm f/2.8
Sigma 180mm Macro

The worst bit is that looking down that list, I use almost all of those lenses....only the 28-105 and the 28-80 dont see use.
