@KETHAVATH ROHAN RATHOD me too . i was waiting for bad mouthing so i could say my bit 😀

Is it worth it ☺️

How is picture quality bro??

Yes. This is favorite lens for portrait photography on my nikon d7100.

I also have this but 1.8 d 🤣😂😂😁

Superb observation

Thanks for this. I have the D600 and I'm looking at this lens for it.

Is that problem. It related to the heavy focus breathing Chris mentions ?

Mine too. What are u using now? I got the z6 ii.

@@hippopictures A7III i switched to nex5 A7 A7ii and now that.

The DX 35mm 1.8 also covers a full frame sensor - I use it on my film N80, Z6, and Z50 - it's a great little lens

I had it, it's a bit of a shame that it has a pretty busy bokeh in many situations.

@@escapewheel821 what? I gotta try it on my FX body then. No vignetting?

@@donaldklopper there can be some vignetting, depending on the aperture you use. Google DX 35mm on Full Frame and you'll get plenty of results. I don't love the 35mm field of view, so for my occasional use on FF the DX version is good enough for me.

True I use 35 and 50

That's the 1st lens I bought I have the same camera too. Definitely a great confirmation!

How did it fare for portrait photography? I am planning to buy it for my d5600, I have a kit lens along with a telephoto lens of 55-200. I was wondering if this will be a versatile addition to avoid a bulky travel bag. Any recommendations?

@@farisali8546 The 50mm f1.8 is essential to any and all Nikon owners. A must buy! It's great for portraits (70ish mm on APS-C) and lets in a lot of light for its price. Every photographer has to own a nifty-fifty for low light and portrait. That, and/or the 35mm f1.8. In my humble opinion, most people only need a 18-200mm superzoom for random photos and a 50mm for anything fancy. A two lens pack is perfect for traveling, just make sure you stock up on batteries! I wish I knew that before, now I mostly travel with a 18-55, 70-300 (kit lenses) and the 50mm. A bit bulky, but it's fine. Sometimes i only take the 50mm and my phone for wider daytime shots.

@@lordwafflesthegreat That was really helpful. Thanks

Hi Nick, I’m looking into buying D5600, paired with this lens, does it still do autofocus? Checking so many resources and get overwhelmed by amount of suggestions 😣

@@alinazorinova3590 Yes the autofocus works great!

Out of curiosity, why did you need 3?

@@opalyankaBG Sold one to a friend, and gave one to another friend.

Can I be your friend ?

I've been doing them almost 10 years now, so it's developed over time hehe

@@notapplicable9312 not even close

does it look good with the d3100 as well as the d610? im looking to get this lens for my d3100. im new to photography and im also not sure how this lens differs on full frame and cropped cameras. any help appreciated, thanks

That would be awesome hehe

@@christopherfrost ♥️

Every lens review website I've seen says that the 'G' is better, which makes sense as it has a more complex optical formula. To quote Lenstip, "To sum up for the majority of combinations of parameters the new Nikkor gives us a better image quality than its predecessor"

Did you get the 40mm? I returned mine because it was unsharp at f/2, but it's great if you don't shoot wide open. I'm getting a used 50mm f/1.8 G instead, it's sharp enough from about f/2.2/f/2.5 and the extra 10mm gives much better separation.

@MrSimonj1970 yes I did it's definitely sharper in the corners I rented the 50 1.8g and it seems this 40 f2 is indeed a bitt sharp with slightly more micro contrast you can especially see it in the trees when shooting landscapes the leaves in the trees pop more on the f2

@MrSimonj1970 it's just as sharp as the 50 1.8 50 1.8 has softer corners but in the middle it's pretty close

@@nathanjimenez1562 not my experience, but maybe I got a bad one

Yes prime lenses are excellent on the D200, I have the 50mm 1.8 D & it's an awesome portrait lens.

It's harder to design - 50mm is just about the cheapest lens design a manufacturer can make

The FTZ adapter doesn't have any glass. It just increases the flange distance and provides F mount contacts. Shouldn't have any affect on color fringing. Also you can see the D5600 tests in the video too which also show purple fringing.

@@bharathghanta Of course it has everything to do with purple fringing, and I never mentioned a word about any glass in the converter. If the distance with the converter isn't perfect, then it could change the refractive index of the lens elements depending on the wavelength of light: i.e., different colors of the spectrum pass through the lenses at different speeds. THAT causes color fringing. THAT means that unless the converter is of a perfect length, it would indeed cause color fringing. It also support using glass on natively designed camera, and not adapt them to something they're not supposed to be used on. You need to read what I wrote, and not assume it's anything else. ..Joe

@@jagerardi No. Minor changes in flange focus distance doesn't affect color fringing. Use of different sensor filter stacks (when mounting leica m lenses on some modern digital cameras using adapters) or using optical(glass) adapters like FD-EF adapter (or focal reduces and teleconverts) etc. does but minor differences in 10ths of millimeters in flange focus distance shouldn't make any difference. You don't even need an adapter for this minor variation. Even native bodies aren't perfect. You would have minor body-to-body variation there too.

@@bharathghanta Of course it does. Move the focal point of a lens, and the distance the colors travel with change aw well, causing fringing. Look at any refractor telescope- a doublet will have chromatic aberration because of the internal lens can't compensate for the wavelengths of light; a triplet will compensate, but if you move any of the lenses, you will disturb the lengths and have chromatic aberration. I'm an astronomer: we have to deal with this all the time. Now: have an adapter that isn't exactly the right length, and the same thing happens: the focal point of the light is not where it should be, and hence, the different colors of light are traveling at different speeds. If it's not spot on, the colors don't align. Blue is always the shortest, green in the middle, and red is the longest. If the focal plane is moved, it will be towards the blue (shorter) or red (longer.) That's a short explanation, without getting into the deep physics of it that I have neither the time, nor the inclination to teach. I was originally giving the lens the benefit of the doubt, but maybe it's just not a great design and suffers for that. Either way, I'm done. ..Joe

Yes, it happens because the viewfinder works with phase detection AF and it needs to be properly adjusted with some lenses in some cases as phase detection can be "blind" compared to contrast detection AF (in live view) there is no AF tuning option built in for the D5300 (which I also had and had an issue with a 18-105 lens) but if you take it to a Nikon service centre, then can do the AF fine tuning for you and it will work fine, like mine did.

The mount is same. They would pair
