Value For Money

Priced at around £470, this lens represents pretty good value for money, especially given its features and performance.

Those on the hunt for a bargain may consider this lens' predecessor. The old Nikon 35mm f/2D does have a slightly slower maximum aperture, and lacks silent focusing, but it can be picked up for around £255.

More expensive options include Nikon flagship 35mm f/1.4G lens, which is two-thirds of a stop faster and nearly three times the price at £1250. Sigma also offer a 35mm f/1.4 lens, which is much better value at around £620.
