binary visions Online • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #3 · Nikon 35mm f1.8 DX on D800... Wait, that's the extent of the vingetting at f/1.8? Pretty impressive. Feb 20, 2013 at 05:18 PM

NathanHamler Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · Nikon 35mm f1.8 DX on D800... I love mine on my d3....personally the vignette doesnt bother me too much..i will note that at further focus distances it does vignette a lot worse than up close... Feb 20, 2013 at 05:19 PM

Pretty impressive. It was at F2 but all vignetting can be removed in Lightroom. I'll do a test at smaller aperture and post it later (before and after vignette removal). Feb 20, 2013 at 05:22 PM

Thomaspin Offline • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #6 · Nikon 35mm f1.8 DX on D800... I made an FX lens correction profile for use in LT and PS which may help. Read here It also corrects barrel distortion and chromatic aberration. Edited on Feb 20, 2013 at 05:54 PM · View previous versions Feb 20, 2013 at 05:32 PM

vtec44 Offline • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #8 · Nikon 35mm f1.8 DX on D800... hahaha... yeah distortion is going to be annoying. At least this will buy me some time to save for the 35mm f1.4. Feb 20, 2013 at 07:16 PM

If you need a cheap 35 you'd do much better with the 35/2 AF-D. Feb 21, 2013 at 04:53 PM

bellyface Offline • • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #12 · Nikon 35mm f1.8 DX on D800... it is a fantastic lens on FX at close range, like 6-3', even on film. But after that, use the 35mm F2 AF-D or 35mm 1.4 AF-G. on my F100, tmax 400CN: son by bellyface, on Flickr on my D3 in 5:4 mode: SSS_6432 by bellyface, on Flickr Feb 21, 2013 at 05:46 PM

Snopchenko Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #14 · Nikon 35mm f1.8 DX on D800... DPReview did a quick FX test in their 35/1.8 review. The usefulness of this lens is regretfully limited. On Canon, hacks like this crop up (pardon the pun) all the time since Canon has the 1D series with their 1.3x crop. Lots of nominally APS-C lenses have been found to be compatible with APS-H. Some of them even work seamlessly. It's been great fun trying weird stuff like this. Feb 21, 2013 at 07:49 PM

I use one all the time in FX mode on my D700, and it's perfectly usable. If you stop it down much past f/4, yes - there is more vignetting- but I don't buy fast primes to stop them down.

aspade Offline • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #16 · Nikon 35mm f1.8 DX on D800... Seriously. I have a D700 and this lens is the one that's on it the most of the time. I shoot at 1.8, but when needed I use ND. I can't say enough good things about this lens. Feb 21, 2013 at 10:42 PM

Never said you can't use it, but it does seem to get worse vignetting the farther you focus. Which means it's not for every use. Feb 22, 2013 at 08:30 PM

vtec44 Offline • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #18 · Nikon 35mm f1.8 DX on D800... It does work really nice with the d800 auto image area feature, 16mp DX mode. Feb 25, 2013 at 12:49 AM

vtec44 Offline • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #19 · Nikon 35mm f1.8 DX on D800... A few more shots. I love this lens, but my Nikon 35mm f1.4 is on its way! Mar 16, 2013 at 01:19 AM
