Using that Nikon 35mm 1.8 lens is almost like seeing in the dark
I can take a photo of someone at dusk while in motion and it comes out clear, crisp, and looks so bright you'd think I took it an hour earlier
A few years ago I took photos of the comet where it looked like it's lighting up the earth
Fantastic lens. Only drawback: its VERY narrow focus. Excellent for getting portraits with a soft background, and when you have time to set up a shot. But when trying to take a quick shot it can be difficult to be sure you're focused on the right part of your subject. If your subject fills the frame and you accidentally focus on their hand, or something 6 inches closer than their face, their face will be blurry. The photos I nail are way better than with a cheaper lens, but I blow a lot more shots because of autofocus not picking the perfect focal point.

Purchased online and did a in store pickup and went straight to Chelsea pier to test this lens out at dusk 🌆 compared to my 18-200 mm this 35 mm 1.8 performs fantastic in low light .

Same price as it was from this 2019 FP deal: https://slickdeals.net/e/13246522-nikon-camera-lenses-50mm-f-1-8g-197-35mm-f-1-8g-177-10-20mm-f-4-5-5-6g-277-more-free-s-h. There are a couple other lenses in that old FP deal that look to be the same price currently.
