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.

Thanks OP! 40mm is a weird size, but at that price with the Sigma quality, I can't pass it up.

Anyone know if any deals coming up for the new version of the Sony A7r IV?

Actually not that weird. Fujifilm (apsc) has the famous pancake 27mm and similarly panasonic (m43) has the 20mm f1.7 since forever and these are quite popular. Personally I would go with 35mm on FF so you definitely got a point ha ha

Ya, 35mm or 50mm are what I'd prefer, but any good photographer can make due, right? 👍

I have the 40mm Sigma and use it with my a7R IV. This lens is unbelievably sharp! I can crop a very small section of a photo and the details will still be clear in the cropped photo. Be warned that it's a pretty hefty lens though.

Y'know you can just raise the aperture if you're concerned about missing focus. Depending on your camera it's usually the front dial by the shutter button.

Love my 35mm 1.8G. It basically lives on my camera.

Bought the 35mm 1.8g a while back to pair with an ancient D300 for sports. Still does what would be challenging indoor shots extremely well.

If your Nikon can autofocus a screw-drive D lens an 80-200mm 2.8 can be had used and cheap. While that lens might be as old as I am it still produces poster and magazine quality shots.

35mm 1.8 should be part of any lens collection and even for those starting out. I believe retail new is around $200 if unsure about the refurbished market.

These lenses actually used to be cheaper a few years ago but it's a good deal with the current prices.
