[QUOTE="TedG954, post: 305793, member: 9701"] I got a 35/2 with my used D700 a few years ago. I liked the lens, but I got caught up in the "zoomers" and didn't use the 35/2. It was near perfect and I had paid $150 for it ([I]which was a real bargain[/I]) and I sold it last year for $200 (which was [I]still [/I]a bargain). I still have a 20/2.8 and a 50/1.8. There seemed to be a void since the 35/2 was sold. So....... I [U]just[/U] bought a used, but supposedly "perfect", 35/2 for $250 (which I [I]still [/I]consider a bargain). I know [I]everyone [/I]thinks the 35/1.4 is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but the 35/2 has excellent reports from people who actually use them. And, I generally shoot outdoors at f4 or above. I prefer the reviews on forums like FM, and [U]real[/U] examples on sites like Flikr. I don't trust the professional writers/reviewers. The "reviews" of [I]a hundred actual users[/I] means far more to me than [I]one [/I]blogger's opinion. So, back to the original question..... does anyone else like this lens as much as I do?
