Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Nikkor Lens, Refurb, $165 shipped @ Adorama

Adorama has Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Nikkor Lens (Refurbished) for $165 + free shipping. Thanks deymo

Any idea if there is a similar deal on 50mm? Have been looking for one for quite sometime. Prices on these lens seldom come down. Great price for 35mm. Repped.

I want the lens but I want to wait for cameta to restock it as cameta includes a 1yr warranty...

This is a great price. When I got it, they were almost all out of stock at the retail $200.

I recommend this lens to every DSLR user. At the very worst, if you are crazy and don't like it, then you end up selling it a few months later for $10 less than you bought it.

will there be better deals on BF/CM?

Would this be good as a walk-around lens? Going to Europe next year, have a Nikon d5100 and am looking for a better walk around lens then the standard 18-55 I have.

what adapter do i need to get this on a nex?

No way in hell will this lens be cheaper. Besides, BF is more for camera bodies than lenses.

Yes. Up until the mid 1990's, when camera makers started making zoom lenses good enough, most cameras that you bought came with a normal perspective lens just like this. Basically, turn your 18-55mm lens to 35mm, and that's what you get with this lens. The difference is that you have better image quality, and it opens up to f/1.8, which allows you to blur the background.

What do you not like about the 18-55mm though? Optically, it's decent. I'd say that today, the 35mm complements the 18-55mm rather than replaces it. The convenience of so many focal lengths without changing lenses is just so nice!

Quote from norazi : what adapter do i need to get this on a nex?

Obviously, a Nikon to NEX adapter? Although, it's not really worth adapting. You lose autofocus, exif data, size, etc. You're better off if you're willing to invest, buying the 35mm f/1.8 E-mount that I was just clued in to. It's $450, because it was just announced. Until then, if you want, get yourself an LA-EA1 adapter and the Sony version of this lens:

And you'll at least get to keep autofocus and stuff. Adapting lenses is best used for those focal lengths for which there is no native corollary.

is it should be a normal price?

Any deals on a Canon 35mm?

I've had a deal alert for this lens on here for months! Now I don't know if I need it, but I'm buying it . It will be nice to have autofocus on a fast lens.
