Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G

[Zoom] Wide-zoom | Standard-zoom | Tele-zoom | High-zoom

This is a very compact and lightweight standard lens for APS-C cameras. And, it's a reasonably priced genuine Nikon lens which is sharp wide open. The bokeh is soft and beautiful. The bright max aperture allows the use of faster shutter speeds and reduces the camera shake dramatically. This is also the ideal first prime lens for those who have only used a zoom lens because it can be used for most situations as long as they move instead of turning a zoom ring.

The highlight of the leaves in the background became round bokeh, which adds to the cuteness of this shot. The bokeh taste changes depending on the distance and it's fun to play with it.

It's sharp enough wide open, and becomes even sharper by stopping down slightly. It captured the subtle ripples as well as the shine of the wet feet.

Focusing on infinity. It's sharp throughout the frame.

The tea flower pops out from the beautiful bokeh. The reflection on the surface tension looks like a white aura. And, the clear rendition elicits the transparency of the subject.
