The first we will look at is the AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f / 1.8G ED. A lens that is equally suitable for street photography, as well as for plots in the interior, as well as medium-sized landscape works. This is perhaps the most universal lens for subjects of any nature, the competition of which can only be "fifty dollars", we will discuss it in the next part.

On the full frame, it is a moderate wide-angle with slightly pronounced perspective distortions, and the APS-C cameras are a replacement for the very classic "fifty dollars" with a viewing angle equal to the angle of view of the human eye.
I draw your attention to the letters ED in the title. The other two lenses do not have them. This means that in the design of this lens is one or more elements (in our case, one) of low dispersion glass. The presence of these elements, plus an aspherical lens, gives us a sharp and beautiful image at the output, as well as minimize chromatic aberration - a real scourge of wide-angle.

This is not to say that they are completely absent from this lens: you can sometimes find lilac and greenish borders at contrasting borders in the pictures. They occur when shooting on an open aperture in difficult conditions, sometimes visible in the blur zone. But if you do not set out to find them, then most likely do not pay attention to them. Moreover, with aperture up to f / 2.8, chromatic aberrations are reduced to an absolute minimum, without annoying even when shooting with very powerful backlight.

In general, the lens perfectly holds back light, does not lose contrast and does not form flares. Catching glare is also quite difficult. When shooting with a covered aperture around the bright light sources, peculiar rays can form in the frame, which is not an optical drawback, but definitely adds charm to the picture of this fix.

The maximum aperture of f / 1.8 allows you to quite blur the background in the pictures, separating the main subject from the background. Some glare have a uniform filling and a slightly more pronounced contrasting edging. In practice, this means that there will be no doubling in the bokeh zone, the effect of scales will be relatively rare. Objects in the blur zone remain recognizable and readable. Such blurring is considered to be "correct." But there is no question of any individuality of the picture that makes the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f / 1.8G ED special.

The lens shows excellent sharpness in the center of the frame already at the open aperture. However, the edges and angles of the image cannot be called very sharp. The situation improves even after a slight aperture: already at f / 2 the edges become sharper.

Autofocus is very fast and accurate. There are no complaints. Mileage on the entire focus scale does not exceed half a second. Of all three fixes in our review, this is the fastest.

The minimum focusing distance is 25 cm from the plane of the matrix. Of course, this is clearly not enough for macro photography. But the photographer is practically unlimited when choosing a plot, even if we are talking about relatively small objects.

Such a balanced set of characteristics makes the AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f / 1.8G ED an extremely successful choice for most tasks, except, perhaps, for a portrait. Indeed, due to strong perspective distortions for large-scale portraits, he may not be suitable. Only belt and body shoots ...
