Nikon 35mm f/1.8G

Just seen this lens and it's looking quite good, although the price seems a bit of a premium. Will it be better then the sigma?

Also it's listed as $600 on the us forest, anyone have any idea on how that price will convert, hopefully it won't be the usual swap the $ for the £.

I think you're on about the 50mm, the 35mm was only announced at CES today.

Ahh I see so it's a full frame 35 1.8

If it was around the same price as the sigma 1.4 then I'd get that tbh

I used to have a sigma 30mm on my old 60D and it was a cracking lens, just wondering how this one is going to fair as it'd be nice to have the full set of f/1.8G primes I could then upgrade to the f/1.4G's one at a time. (I'm a sucker for full sets, heh)

I hope you like salad!

The art does look like a good lens, but the direct conversion is around £350 if it hit the UK around that price then I'd be tempted.

The Nikon f/1.8G line up is looking quite good now, although I'm really hoping it lands around £350 otherwise you might as well pick up the sigma.

Up for preorder at the usual places for £519.99.

That's a bit more then I was expecting it to land for, might have to wait a while before I consider picking one up. Has anyone seen any reviews or sample shots from it yet?
