[QUOTE="desmobob, post: 776950, member: 45742"] Appropriate! I happened to bring up that lens and the AF-S 50mm f/1.8G on DXOMark for comparison. The 35mm is actually sharper throughout the aperture range. I've learned to take the DXOMark stuff with a grain of salt sometimes (one of my all-time favorite lenses, the AF-D 180mm f/2.8 is a good example) but it's nice to feel that I made a good choice. :) Funny thing... that 50mm f/1.8G is another example of DXOMark weirdness. It shows higher MTF numbers across the range than the 1.4G and similar distortion, etc., but they rave about the 1.4G and give the 1.8G a kind of ho-hum review. Anyway, all this talk about lightening up my hiking load is just daydreaming as I sit inside on a 6˚F and windy day here in northern NY. But I do plan on bringing out my D200 on an ice fishing outing tomorrow... [/QUOTE]
