Finally! The new
Nikkor normal lens for
APS-C (DX) sized sensors: the
Nikkor 35mm f1.8G is out in Manila. Forget about Nikon producing anymore old
AF-D srew driven auto focus lenses in the future. In fact, your better off selling anymore AF-D lenses you may have while they are "relevant". The new
Silent Wave Motor (SWM) in-lens focusing motor is the
defacto technology for new Nikkors. SWM are technically faster and more accurate in focusing. This focal length is equivalent to a 50mm on a full-frame SLR. I used this glass when I shot the
Philippine Starball competition-which I will post next month.
The image quality of this cheap lens is superb! BTW you may prefer the new, but expensive
Nikkor 35mm f1.8G Macro. DX sensors are here to stay.
Kudos Nikon!
