Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G DX

This compact wide aperture lens for DX compatible Nikon digital SLRs costs around £170 and provides a similar angle of view to a 50mm lens used on a 35mm camera and sports a silent focusing motor.

Nikon also produce a 35mm f/2D lens, which is compatible with full frame cameras as a wideangle optic and costs around £255. This lens has a slightly smaller maximum aperture and lacks silent focusing though.

Sigma's 30mm f/1.4 EX DC is the closest equivalent from third party manufacturers, offering a slightly wider field of view and a slightly brighter maximum aperture for around £380.
