Next PZ lens rest report: Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8 G

I had one for several years and I beg to differ. It had bad AF and bad bokeh. Thus,it was not fun to shoot with and too many pictures were not fun to look at. Yes, I really liked this FL and yes, it was small, light and sharp. As I was a poor student at the time it was a good companion to the 50/1.8 and Tokina 100/2.8 macro I also had but to call it fine? Not IMHO.

I have one now, and its bokeh is most of the times ok or even pretty good for a 35mm lens, just with bright light/sky through trees/foliage it gets funky with the shapes that start to appear. Its AF is very good, actually, and most owners agree with me on that (accurate and fast). Maybe it was not a happy marriage with the body you were using back then?



You won't get happy with the Nikon, bokeh wise, either... for great bokeh with a 35mm, you will have to look at Zeiss.
