![]() ![]() it’s superior build quality, sharpness, and color rendition) over it’s little brother/sister. If you are someone who tends to add vignetting anyway, you are going to love this! Having said this, the FX 35mm 1.8 has some distinct advantages (e.g. It behaves a bit differently if used on FX, but creates a fairly unique look. The Nikon 35mm f/1.8 G DX AF-S is an F-Mount fixed focal length normal lens for Digital SLR Cameras with DX format sensors. But again, this is not really an issue considering this is a 5 second thing in Lightroom…Īll in all, the smaller 35mm 1.8 works better on FX than I had expected. In matrix metering mode, it tended to underexpose by about half a stop. I did not test this thoroughly, but I consistently had to slightly adjust the exposure. I also realized that my D610 has (more than usual) trouble with metering using this lens. The AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8 features Nikon’s Internal Focus (IF) system providing fast and quiet AF and produces sharp and clear images at all apertures. If you are primarily using the middle area of the lens anyway, you’re good! AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G medium telephoto f/1.8 lens is designed for shooting stills or HD video. Overall, the lens stays very sharp on FX though. Similarly, edge sharpness suffers in this scenario. The lens hood doesn’t make any difference regarding the vignetting. While at f/1.8 and f/2.8 there already is some (possibly fixable) vignetting, at f/5.0 you can clearly see the barrel of the lens. As you can see in the example below, as soon as you stop down, some serious vignetting becomes visible. The biggest issue with this combination is vignetting. Therefore, it is much more interesting to use the lens in FX mode. This way, for example, a D610 with a 24 megapixel sensor will only produce 10 megapixel images. However, since the image gets cropped, we end up with a much smaller file in terms of resolution. The 35mm f/1.8 DX doesn't work well or at all on 35mm or FX cameras, but it does autofocus perfectly with every Nikon, especially the least expensive DX cameras. It is especially wonderful for shooting anything hand-held in available light. In DX-mode, basically dumbing down the sensor to the cropped size, the lens works perfectly well. The Nikon 35mm f/1.8 DX is Nikon's best fixed normal lens for DX cameras. Since I have both things lying around, I tried to give it a shot. Naturally, given the price point, many people think about using the DX version on an FX body. This lens is - as you can expect - superb, but that’s all I will be saying about it in this post. However, Nikon’s 35mm 1.8G ED clocks in at little over €500 - more than double the price of the DX version. full-frame) side of things there is an alternative. This is exactly why the 35mm 1.8 is one the first lenses everyone buys (or at least should buy). It is well built, provides high aperture capabilities, produces some amazing quality images, and is very affordable at roughly €200. Nikon’s 35mm 1.8 DX (actually called the AF-S DX NIKKOR 35 MM 1:1,8G) is certainly one of the most-loved lenses on DX (i.e. ![]()
