I’ve used 18-70 F4.5-4.5G lens for 4 years. Though it is a bundle zoom lens, I didn’t complain of its results. But because of its low aperture, it’s difficult to take a nice picture in a dark place.
Some of friends recommended 35mm f 1.8 lens. 30mm lens of Sigma is also in my wish list. But after the consideration of price and efficiency, I chose Nikkor 35mm.
This is not that expensive. But the usability is so high. Most of all, it weighs light and effectively I can get a nice photo in a dark place.
I am so accustomed to a multi-focus lens that I feel inconvenience when it needs to wide view. But I am totally satisfied with its brightness. The following picture was taken at 5 P.M. Considering sunsetting time was 5:20, quality is better that I expect.
If I go downtown, it would be better to carry 35mm.
Nice choice.
