[QUOTE="DraganDL, post: 275985, member: 18251"] I find DXO lists inconsistent, very often (though I do consult their info, just the same). I saw REAL photos (on Flickr and elsewhere) and I compared (but, I admit, it's pretty subjective) the photos taken with AF-S 35 DX to those taken with AF 35D and to my opinion, the 35D works better. Many photographers are not aware of the fact that, among the other things, by using full frame lenses on DX bodies, you get way less vignetting too (the 35mm 1.8 DX has quite a high level of vignetting, besides exhibiting a high level of barrel distortion). But don't get me wrong - I am not saying the 35mm 1.8 DX is a BAD lens (I wouldn't reject it, if someone would have offered it to me as a birthday present;)). --------------------------- On another note: yesterday I was offered the "good-old" venerable 35mm f/2 AIS ("full metal jacket" kind of build, with that coupling prong for the ancient Nikkormats and alike, ha, ha!), for about 100$. I think I'm gonna buy it, just for fun... This one: [ATTACH=CONFIG]76741._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
