Nikon 35mm f/1.4 Nikkor AI-S

 

I have to comment that I think that many people are missing the point of this lens....

Small size ; Build quality ; Two lenses for the price of one ; Vignettes, soft(ish) wide open ; Excellent and direct focus through

Vignettes, soft(ish) wide open

Lovely lens. Really nice to find such a small 35mm 1.4. Some vignetting at 1.4 (I love it...I wish it had the same when stopped down). Was the last missing lens on my Nikon set. I am using it to digital cinematography and as a full frame lens meets my...

Small ; fast ; precise and smooth focus ; color matched with the other AI-S

Nikon 35mm f/1.4 Nikkor AI-S

 

Beautifully built (like most of Nikon's AI/AIS lines), very sharp, good colors, nice contrast and very pleasant boke. On a D200 acts like a 50mm lens, making it a very good contender as walkaround lens. Good in low light since sharpness is pretty good...

Sharp, smooth focussing.

Some CA at wider apertures

Although this lens has a perfect rating on this site, I find this is a very poor performer optically. Images are soft with no contrast at all apetures. If you are looking for a sharp wide angle consider the 28mm/2.8 ais or the 20mm/2.8 AFD. The 20mm...

Build quality and operation is excellent as are all the Nikon AIS lenses

Poor optical performance. The cost you must pay for this lens gives you no value for your money
