    I choose an inexpensive option for the landscape, flowers, city attractions for crop with a screwdriver D7100.

    Nikon AF Nikkor 35mm 1: 2D or Nikon AF-S 35mm 1: 1.8G DX Nikkor?

    The reviews are better on the Nikon AF Nikkor 35mm 1: 2D, so far I'm leaning towards it. Judging by the reviews, the Nikon AF-S 35mm 1: 1.8G DX Nikkor is worse with chromaticity. What do you think?

        For landscapes and sights on the crop it will be narrow to you with 35 mm and even more so with 50. And the aperture here is not critical, you will not shoot all this outdoors.

      The 35mm f / 2D has a drawing (close to 50mm f / 1.4D), the 35mm f / 1.8G DX is sharper. The focal length of 50 mm on the crop is less convenient, so you probably should not look in its direction.

    From reviews to “Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm 1: 1.8D, 'D'-version, MKIII"

    "Perceptible backlash when focusing."

    Personal observations:

    - when the camera turns the screwdriver back and forth, a shift in the image in the viewfinder is noticeable

    - the backlash is noticeable if you grasp the focusing ring with your hand and shake it slightly.

    The question is - does the Nikon AF Nikkor 35mm 1: 2D have these disadvantages?

    “All Nikon 35/2 lenses are made exclusively in Japan. The build quality is very good. "

      The build quality of the 35 / 2D is really good.
      I didn’t see any play in my copy.
      The only thing is that 35 / 2D by today's standards is not quite suitable for something like D800 / D800E / D810 / D850, if sharpness is a priority.
      It focuses quickly and accurately in the dark. On open 2.0, there may be AF errors, but it greatly depends on the AF module on the camera.

        Once again, I'm trying to choose an inexpensive lens for the D7100. The first time the choice went to 50 / 1.8D, I did not like the build quality.

        Metal + plastic, metal bayonet mount.
        The unpretentious lens well tolerates negative temperatures of -10-15C (somehow I went out with it at -18C), as well as increased humidity.
        It tolerates bright backlight.
        For D7100 it is better to choose something more modern.

((I want an angle wider than 50, sometimes I don't even have a half-price in tight conditions. I looked at several options for Avito 35mm1.4 from nikon, but again not in my city ((I think, decide and buy without looking?)) Sharpness can be added to Photoshop if necessary, the main thing for me is the quality of the picture!

        There is a more modern 35 / 1.8G under full frame. It's cheaper than 35 / 1.4G and they say it's even a little sharper.
        I would also recommend looking at the focal length of 28mm. In the last year or two years, I began to like it more than 35mm.

        How can you like the 28mm focal length better? o_O Yes, they are close, but! This is the same for landscapes, and then wide. The corners are pulled out. The perspective breaks terribly ... Pictures from him remind me of Kolobok's skin stretched over a rectangular frame. And 35 mm is divine, immersion in the scene, classic street photography, classic reportage from the times of Lake, cinema - too, and indeed the best focal point for my and not only taste!

        But 35mm in cinema and photography are different things. In cinema cameras the cropped sensor is super 35, i.e. 35mm in cinema is approximately equal to 50mm on a full frame.

        And how is this old 35 2D in comparison with its peer, 35-70 2.8D zoom. (Weight and size are understandable).

        Something tells me that in the presence of 35-70 and the willingness to carry it, it no longer makes sense to take 35k 2.

        Chebe,
        in 35 / 2D, as in the Canon EF 35mm f / 2 IS USM, there really is not much point in the presence of a zoom with aperture of 2.8.
        But if you shoot in the evening or at night, then the fix will help, because it is small and light (Canon even has a stub).
        If we talk about Nikon 35 / 2D, then optically it is not a fountain - nuts in the bokeh, 2.0 is so ... especially on 24MP ff matrices (I don’t know what is there on d800, but there is an idea).
        Nikon has a more modern motorized AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f / 1.8G ED

        It is sharp (sharper than 35 / 1.4), but strongly chromate.

    Colleagues, I encountered such a strangeness (well, for me) my 35-ka 2d (by the way, bought from a Nikon branded store several years ago, that is, not at all old, just not used for a long time, and if it is used, only on a wide, so as in the main I used this focal length at zooms with 2.8 and therefore did not immediately notice, it turned out to be with a defect, its aperture does not change (more precisely, in the entire range from 2 to 22 it can change by 2/3, the maximum stop, at least by 22 scroll, at least at 8, everything is the same in the picture), although if you look at the light, everything moves gorgeous easily, but it seems that the petals are pretty oiled, however, as I understand it, this is not uncommon, there were messages with a similar problem, the strangeness is in the other, if shoot through live view, then everything is ok with the diaphragm, it works fine, even for reliability I specifically compared it with another 35th tokina dx, full compliance at all stages. And it's not a specific camera, I have several nikon cameras, from d90 to 850k and with normal eating Mke through the viewfinder is such a misfortune for everyone, although with other af glasses everything was always ok. Why, through live view, everything works like a clock, the mechanism for working with the diaphragm is still the same, or are there any nuances?

      in live view, the petals have time to close. Apparently they close with a lag (slowly, because they are stuck from oil or other malfunction). During shooting through the OVI, they simply do not have time to close for a short exposure time.

    Hello. I recently bought this, in perfect, practically new condition with a box and docks. The seller does not seem to be a photographer and is engaged in a completely different business. So, I didn't immediately notice that the left edge of the frame washes out the picture much more than the right one, and even at closed f8 apertures. Is it a marriage or something skewed? The lens has no backlash ...

    Hello, I want to buy a 35mm full frame in the future, due to a limited budget, there is only a choice between the old 35mm F2d and the Samyang 35mm 1.4. I lean towards my native Nikon due to the presence of autofocus, for the sake of it I am ready to close on all the shortcomings, except for one: the so-called vacuum cleaner effect. I would like to know from the owners of this glass, how serious is this problem? I plan on using this lens almost always in clean (well, relatively) rooms, not outdoors / nature.

      Not long ago I managed to buy it at a discount for a new one for 15 rubles. So far, I haven't really tested it yet, but I can say that for me it is more convenient than a fifty-fifty in a full frame. From what I did, I like the pictures. It is difficult to say how he will behave in dusty conditions until he drove him there. I like its compactness and constructiveness. They speak openly rather weak, maybe, but I didn't really notice this. In short, I'm happy with him. I use it on d610

    Good afternoon Arkady, tell me, I think you had to shoot on Nikon 35/1.4G - can you tell me something about it in comparison with 35/2D (in terms of individual perception of the resulting photos, other nuances? Is it worth paying extra for 1.4G?) I plan to use it in conjunction with D810. From looking at photos on the Internet from these lenses (including paired with the D810), I didn’t notice much of a difference, but I don’t have much experience in shooting, I could be wrong...

        35/2D is not produced; the used version costs mere pennies. If you buy one to try and then sell it, you won’t lose money.
        35/2D is a low-resolution prime lens of the film era. Only macro lenses were really sharp in the D series.
        I had a 35/2D; its advantages: it is small and light. Cons: it is not sealed, there is no dust and moisture protection, it can fog up. Its sharpness is not enough on a 16MP full-frame sensor. 12MP full-frame was enough for me, but 16MP was no longer enough. Buy it, try it, if you don’t like it, sell it for what you bought it for.
        In addition to 35/1.4, there is a cheaper and, as they say, the sharpest of the native 35-K for F mount: AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G ED (not to be confused with AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G)

        I very often come across a similar point of view, not only with regard to this lens, but also all old ones in general. Let's take the Nikon D7200 with its 24 MP on the crop. What is the megapixel density there? And more than 45 mp on FF. And the lens is Helios 81N.
        Here you go, on f 2.0. There is more than enough sharpness in the center.

    For many years I wanted to get this lens for the D600 (I used a cropped 35, it's okay, but it overcontrasts and screws up the shadows). I was afraid that the sharpness would be insufficient at 24mp. Yeah, right! The sharpness is amazing! The edges are of course weak, but I don't care about them, the main thing is that the compositional center is perfectly worked out. The picture is like a watercolor, the transition from grip to blur is a real painting. I just get a thrill from looking at frames on the 35f2D. Before that, I also used a screwdriver 85f1.8D, the nature of the picture is the same, the green border on the bokeh donuts has not bothered me for a long time. I even thought about replacing the motor fifty with a 1.4D, or maybe even get a D800 =)
