Nikon SLRs will remove any resultant colour fringing in their JPEG processing anyway, as will the company's own Raw processing software. It's not lowest in class, but neither is it excessive. Lateral chromatic aberration is reasonably well controlled for a 35mm prime. But even F16 should be sharp enough for most purposes, especially when extended depth if field is desirable. There's then little practical change at apertures through to F8, beyond which diffraction starts to soften the image. The lens sharpens up quickly on stopping down, reaching its overall peak at F2.8. If anything it looks a touch sharper here than the more expensive AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.4G when compared like-for-like, and is very close to the benchmark Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM, which is one of the sharpest lenses we've tested.Ĭentral sharpness is already very high wide open, and while the corners aren't quite so great, they're still perfectly acceptable. It's impressively sharp, exhibits relatively low chromatic aberration and distortion, and has acceptable levels of vignetting. The 35mm F1.8 returns excellent test results on the D800. F mount FX format lens, works on both DX and FX format Nikon SLRs.

We'll mainly look at how it performs on full frame cameras, but we'll also take a quick look at how it compares to the cheaper DX lens. In this quick report we'll look at how the 35mm f/1.8G stands up against its peers in terms of lab test data.

The other lens which should be on any potential buyer's radar is the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM, which deservedly won our Gold Award in our review, and at around $810 / £670 costs only slightly more.Ĭlick here for a detailed specification comparison of these Nikon-mount AF 35mm primesĬlearly there's plenty of choice in this area, albeit across a wide price range. At the opposite end of the scale, Nikon also makes the AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.4G, which is half a stop faster and substantially more expensive (£1250 / $1620). However for DX shooters, Nikon also offers the confusingly similarly-named, but rather cheaper ($200 / £150) AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G, which we liked a lot when we reviewed it back in 2009 (note the extra 'DX' in its title). The 35mm f/1.8G can also be used on DX format cameras, on which it will give a 'normal' perspective similar to that of a 50mm lens on full frame. At around $600 / £500 at the time of writing, it looks well matched to 'budget' full frame cameras like the Nikon D610, on which it will offer a classic moderate wideangle view. It joins a growing family of modernised full-frame primes from Nikon with the same maximum aperture, alongside the AF-S Nikkor 28mm f/1.8G, AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G and AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G. The AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G was announced at the beginning of 2014.
