35mm 1.8G

Should I buy a clean 35mm 1.8G for $150 shipped?

Absolutely

I got the 35mm f/2 and I absolutely love it.

Th f1.8 is a great lens. JD

Being that ive owned the 35 1.8g and just recently traded it at my local store..(For the 50mm 1.8g).....I would say opt for the newish 28mm 1.8g...This is a sharper lens and will give you a better spread in focal length on the DX...Also as a FX lens you will be able to keep it if you ever go full frame..I know the 28mm is more expensive..But the 35mm 1.8 just wasn't wide enough on the dx format..You already have the 50mm 1.8g which is sharper..Food for thought..Been there done that.

Yeah. I have the 85mm in my radar but ran across this one for the bag. Hmmmm.

The 85mm 1.8g is my sharpest lens...

Nothing wrong with that deal. Get it! Great lens for a cropped sensor.

Oh yes, I'm on fx, so guess 28mm would give more or less the same view. Haven't tried 28mm though.

About the 50mm, mine are pretty slow.

The 28mm on FX is just that..The 35mm on dx is like a 50mm..Def not the same view..

Definitely.

Well, depends on what you wanna photograph. Its 2 pretty different lenses - but both really good.

Agreed. I'll use the 85mm more, but wouldn't mind having the 35mm in the bag. 85 > 35 for me at the moment

I just wasn't thrilled with the 35mm 1.8g...Feel as if all of my lenses need to be as equally sharp..Give or take..The 35mm was just lacking..I am enjoying my 50mm 1.8g a lot better...Here is a shot with the 50mm 1.8g even with high Iso...

Here is one with the 85mm 1.8G....Really high Iso....

Looks good
