Looking for Answers about Nikon Inc. AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G?

yes it will

As Yevgen said the Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8 G will autofocus in your D3000.

All lenses who contais S (AF-S) which means servo will focus in your camera.

Hi Cisco
I am sorry, but "Number One Contributor" gave you the wrong answer.
Your camera (D3000) do not have internal auto focus motor, but to have autofocus you can use any Nikkor lenses, which start from "AF-S ...".
All this lenses, including "AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G", have internal silence auto focus motor.
And that means, that with this lens, your Nikon D3000 will have autofocus, I also can added: very fast , precise auto focus and this lens is really very sharp, very sharp for most price category.
Good luck Cisco.

No, affriad not.

I was in the same situation. You will not be disappointed. Just look at all the reviews. I also purchased a refurbished Nikkor 50mm f/1.8. It is the best lens I have ever had.

For $200 this is the best choice.

Maybe. This lens will allow you to shoot in lower light conditions than the 18-55mm lens that came with your D3100. This might include shooting indoors without flash and in museums and at shows with fast moving people, assuming you can get close enough. I own one and like it but I also have other more general purpose lenses.

I have a feeling that if you have to ask, this lens might not be the right choice for you. A wideangle lens that goes from about 10-20mm will open up a whole new world of photography not available to you now (good for some travel shots, but stitching photos together might also work) and a lens with more reach such as 18-105mm or 18-200mm might have a more immediate benefit. Portrait photos typically use a lens somewhat longer than 55 mm (maybe 85mm on your camera). One thing that is especially nice about the 35 mm lens is its compactness. With this lens I can put my whole camera into a vestpocket pouch and shoot images in an art museum that does not allow flash. I have framed copies of several masterpieces I've taken this way.

Because many people like a little more reach, the kit lenses of cameras that cost a little more come with the 18-105 mm lens. Also there is a 55-200 mm lens that can provide extra reach without duplicating what you already have.

Absolutely, yes!

Yes, worked perfect with my 3100. Very pleased; bought to take daughter's Senior Portraits with.

Yes, up to full HD 1080, and full time focus

Yes! this lens is a DX format, same as the D3100, I have this lens, love it!

Yes. It works correctly on my D40X that does not have an internal motor, just like the D40.

The D40 has no auto focus motor, but any AF-S lens is compatible to the D40 because it has a built in motor.

Yes it will. I have a D40X (has no internal motor, just like the D60) and it works fine on this camera.

Any AF-S will auto focus with the D60 because it has a built in motor. AF lenses don't and neither does the D60 so no auto focus.

Yes. I have a D5000, and the autofocus is excellent on this lens, even under lower light conditions. Be sure that you have your D5000 set up properly through the menus, then on the lens barrel itself, set the switch to the "M/A" position and it will do fine for you.

Absolutely.

yes! D7000 is a camera in DX format and this lense too.

Very much so. That's the camera I am using it on.

You cannot zoom, however the tradeoff is that the lens is more compact and the pictures are higher quality

no this is constant focal length lense.

Probably the biggest difference is the aperture, f/1.8 will allow you to shoot in low light situations, and also allow you to blur the background when opening the lens wide. Fixed focal length lenses will often provide sharper images especially around the edges and corners of the frame.

One is a zoom lens the other is fixed length, the 35mm being faster but lacks zoom and visa versa, cant really compare them and say you should have one over the other as they both have their uses.

Yes it will auto focus on any of the newer bodies as it has its own AF motor built-in.

I had to wait almost a month - I think it's worth the wait.

Yes, it will work on a D70S.

The D200 is a "crop" DX camera, so this lens will focus properly and will not cut off the edges. It will be a great lens if you need a fast semi-wide lens!

If you click on the "Buy This" link under the pic of the lens, it will give a place to enter a zip for retail dealers.

If you read my review, you'll find the 40mm Micro was just released only 5mm difference, but includes 1:1 macro capability and only a little more than the 35mm. The 35mm is faster and is a great lens on it's own which offers a "50mm" view for DX cameras. It was out of stock due to high demand, and I'm sure the tsunami situation in Japan didn't help production. If you want the speed, go for the 35mm. If you want the macro, go for the new 40mm when it hits store shelves, it will probably be hard to find initially, just like the 35mm as demand will likely outpace supply. Either will help if you don't have a sharp lens in this range!

Contact Ritz Camera ... I bought my lens from there.

Absolutely, it will work...

Hey Joe, I need some advice on zooming while taking pictures... I have the D5100, but don't know how to operate the Zoom in auto and manual mode... Pls advice.

I believe your D3X has DX lens detection mode, so yes it should work, is a digital lens , not an FX...
I would say , if you can afford D3X, I would be looking for the best piece of glass i could find...
This 35mm is definitely not a pro caliber lens...
